Episode 238 Belle Swartz -Celebrating seven years living an intermittent fasting lifestyle
Description
This week is Belle’s 7 year “fastiversary”. She started fasting at age 51 when she was still in perimenopause and could not lose a stubborn 10 pounds no matter what she did! And now she is almost 59 and at over 2500
fasts. She is a L*IF*ER!
Belle is married and has two children, ages 22 and 24 and a dog. She likes to keep busy by working a full-time and a part-time job and volunteering at a dog rescue on her day off. In her free time, she enjoys taking her dog and foster dog for walks, gardening, playing pickleball and canasta, spending time with friends and family, listening to podcasts, watching a good series on Netflix and travelling.
Her husband, Neil, jumped on the fasting bandwagon a few years ago after seeing the fantastic results that Belle was getting with body re-composition and autophagy. They have different daily fasting schedules, but make it work.
Fasting is a way of life for Belle now and just second nature. She recently travelled to Italy with her daughter and managed to keep up a fasting routine on the go! She often bends her fasting schedule to enjoy dinner with friends and a later eating window.
Belle has been part of the fasting highway
Facebook group since its inception and has been on two previous podcasts, numbers 4 and 157.
Belle is here to talk about the “big picture” of fasting and how it has changed her total outlook on her way of eating. It is anything but a diet!
