Episode 77- Candice Maechling a mothers journey a life time of weight issues and over eating- finding intermittent fasting and having success.

My name is Candice Maechling I'm a 34 year old wife and stay at home mom to two young kids (4 and 8 years old). I've been clean fasting and working myself from low carb to carnivore since Febuary 23rd 2021. I vary my fast depending on what is going on in my life, I go between omad, tmad, and ADF. Since I have struggled with binging in the past I don't put too much pressure on myself to do one specific thing. I just give myself the rules of I will eat the meat I enjoy that makes me feel good and I will practice IF in some form daily. I have lost 103 pounds total, 52 of that since beginning clean IF. I am no longer pre-diabetic and my blood pressure is in the normal range.  From a young age I struggled with over eating, I remember being in 2nd grade and the teacher weighed us all in front of each other I was 100 pounds and i felt such shame at comments from the other kids, that was the first time it really hit me that my weight was a problem. In late 2010 after being unsuccessfully treated for fertility, losing hope of becoming a mom and not knowing what to do with my life I found low carb and began to work out for the first time in my life, I lost 124 pounds in a little over a year and unexpectedly became pregnant with my son in 2012. Over the next 8 years through one more pregnancy and lots of life changes I bounced up and down depending on how well I followed low carb but hunger and stress always got the best of me.  I finally discovered the fasting highway Facebook group around January and listened to all the podcast trying to work my way into clean fasting. I didn't find success with until I managed to lose the rest of the sugar and sweeetners in my diet.  I have since kept listening to the podcast and read the Fasting Highway book for motivation. I still have somewhere around 50 to 60 pounds to go but I have no doubt IF and carnivore or meat heavy keto will keep me on the right path. News.
