Episode 201-Michelle Foster, A writer's journey with Intermittent fasting and the difference the clean fast made.

Michelle Foster is a writer and researcher who lives in Illinois with her husband and three teenagers. She has struggled with her weight since about age 12, and has had many highs and fewer lows, but always concerned about her weight. Obesity runs in her family, and she tried many things over the years for weight control, including tracking calories, running, Weight Watchers and various types of fasting. She had success losing 40+ pounds more than once, but over time the weight always crept back on and she felt worse than before. In 2022, she decided to try “clean” fasting after hearing about it for a couple of years. She was pretty skeptical it would be any different than any other fasting style, but she was wrong! She has lost more than 50 pounds even while going on vacations, holidays and other life stressors, and has now been maintaining her loss for more than 3 months. She has no plan to go back to a “regular” style of eating! Michelle loves hiking and outdoor activities such as kayaking and cross-country skiing. It's easier to move and play with less weight, and she's looking forward to years of activity, able to maintain her weight loss with fasting. The Fasting Highway News THE AUDIOBOOK IS HERE!!!
