Episode 357: Shannon Jensen

In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Shannon Jensen from Bowling Green, OH. Are you ready to take your intermittent fasting lifestyle to the next level? There’s nothing better than community to help with that. In the Delay, Don’t Deny community we all embrace the clean fast, and there’s just the right support for you as you live your intermittent fasting lifestyle. You can connect directly with Gin in the Ask Gin group, and she will answer all of your questions personally. If you’re new to intermittent fasting or recommitting to the IF lifestyle, join the 28-Day FAST Start group. After your fast start, join us for support in The 1st Year group. Need tips for long term maintenance? We have a place for that! There are many more useful spaces beyond these, and you can interact in as many as you like. Visit ginstephens.com/community to join us. An annual membership costs just over a dollar a week when you do the math. If you aren’t ready to fully commit for a year, join for a month and you can cancel at any time. If you know you’ll want to stay forever, we also have a lifetime membership option available.  IF is free. You don’t need to join our community to fast. But if you’re looking for support from a community of like-minded IFers, we are here for you at ginstephens.com/community. Shannon did not struggle with her weight until after her second pregnancy in 1998, when she tried her first diet. This would lead to decades of diets, calorie counting, weight loss, and weight gain. By April of 2022, Shannon was at her highest weight of 183 pounds. She stumbled upon IF through a Facebook group and read Delay, Don’t Deny in one day. Shannon began her IF that day!  She has lost 25 pounds, and though she would like to lose more, Shannon is happier than ever and has found peace with food. Shannon’s advice: Fast clean only. Read Gin’s books. Nail the fast first and give yourself grace. Do you enjoy Intermittent Fasting Stories? You’ll probably also like Gin’s other podcast with cohost Sheri Bullock: Fast. Feast. Repeat.
