Maria struggled with her weight since 6th grade, and yo-yo’d for years, ever since then.She tried more ways than you can count to try to lose weight and while some were effective, it didn’t last and she would gain it all back, and usually then some! That is a story that is all too common with dieting.She first learned about IF in 2022 but didn’t know about the clean fast so I gave up because it was so hard and I was always hungry. She heard of it again in 2023 and this time was told about the clean fast which made her fasting so much easier! She lost a good bit of weight by summer of 2024, but then got too comfortable, and started to have window creep and making poor food choices so she regained most of what she lost. Finally In January of this year she said enough is enough and I’m doing something about this weight! She told me this, “I made myself commit to fasting for a year and this time I was going to do true ADF. I can proudly say I hit my goal weight just this week of 135lbs (I’m 5’4”) and couldn’t be happier! fasting has truly changed my life and I wish I had known about this years ago!
