In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Wendy Taquino from Monrovia, CA. 

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. 

Wendy is a singer and music director. She struggled with her weight as a child and was put on her first diet at 11 years old. After several traumatic childhood events, food became her source of comfort. 

Wendy tried countless diets over the course of thirty years, and by 2017, she was at her highest weight of 285 pounds. Desperate, Wendy had gastric bypass surgery and was able to lose 80 pounds. A year later, she discovered IF through a bariatric program, and began her IF journey right away. 

Wendy has healed her relationship with food and feels at peace in her body. She easily maintains her loss and shares IF with others. 

Wendy’s advice: “Start with the clean fast and start slow. Nail the clean fast and build from there! Find what works until IF becomes easy.”
