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. </p><p>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?

She developed a diet mindset which would carry into her adult life. Three children and one divorce later, Courtney found herself at 250 pounds. </p><p>In 2018, Courtney found IF through Facebook and began with a 20:4 protocol. Two years later, IF felt hard and Courtney decided to reassess her IF journey. She decided to focus on the health aspects of IF instead of a size. Her goal is to be active and to feel her best! </p><p>Courtney’s advice: “Have faith. It’s okay if you fail. IF is a science experiment and a study of one. You have to find what works for <em>you</em>.” </p><p>Get Gin’s books at: <a href="http://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html</a>, including <em>Cleanish</em> and New York Times Bestseller, <em>Fast.
