Paul Goodyear

In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Paul Goodyear from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Are you ready to take your intermittent fasting lifestyle to the next level? There’s nothing better than community to help with that—and now, it’s time for us to get Cleanish! In September we moved the Delay, Don’t Deny Social Network to a new and improved platform and the community has really taken off. In the Delay, Don’t Deny community we have a true community feel, and there’s just the right support for you as you live your IF lifestyle. And, starting January 5th, we will be starting a community book study for Gin’s new book, Cleanish!  For a limited time, you can use the coupon code CLEANISH to join the DDD Community and save 15% on any plan. If you join as an annual member, that’s less than one dollar a week for a year of community and support! To take part, preorder cleanish today through your favorite bookseller or through the links at ginstephens.com/cleanish and then go to ginstephens.com/community to join the community for 15% off using the promo code CLEANISH. Don’t forget to click “apply” after entering the promo code to have the 15% discount applied before completing your enrollment. The book study starts January 5th and we look forward to getting Cleanish with you in the new year!In 2015, Paul reached his highest weight of 350 pounds, and he knew it was time to do something about it. He decided to walk more and watched what he ate. He lost 80 pounds, but gained it all back by 2018.  He then stumbled upon intermittent fasting through a podcast with Dr. Jason Fung. Paul tried IF for a week, but gave up.  As the pandemic hit in March of 2020, Paul bought a stationary bike and began to do long rides. He was able to lose 40 pounds, which gave him the motivation to keep going for more.In August of 2020, Paul found The Intermittent Fasting Podcast, and with new resolve, began IF again. With IF, Paul lost another 50 pounds. He went from 280 to his current weight of 230. His health has also improved: his blood pressure has normalized, he has fewer aches and pains, and his eczema is gone.  Paul's advice to the new IFer: Take lots of "before" photos, and don't forget measurements! Keep it simple. Join the DDD group for support in your IF journey. Get Gin’s books at http://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html, including her New York Times Bestseller, Fast. Feast.
