She first heard about intermittent fasting in 2022 when she was working as a nutrition coach and one of her clients mentioned it to her. From that point on, she was an intermittent fasting dabbler. Finally, in October of 2024, she decided to stop dabbling and fully commit. Gin’s phrase “Saturday is not a special occasion…it happens every week” spoke to her, and she knew it was time. Because of her long and varied diet history, Dee has stopped weighing herself. Instead, she goes by how she feels and the fit of her clothes. She is currently living her goal lifestyle, and feels good wearing a size 8 in pants. Dee is a self-described “logical vegan,” and she focuses on getting in nutrients from a wide variety of plant foods. One of her biggest non-scale victories is that she is no longer an emotional binge eater. She no longer has skin tags, which indicates that she has improved her insulin resistance.At the end of the episode, Dee reminds new IFers that Saturday is not a special occasion, and that they should explore all of Gin’s resources, including the book 28-Day Fast Start Day by Day, which is a great way to get started on your IF journey.Join Gin in the new Fast Feast Repeat app for The Grown-Up Year: 52 Weeks to Listen, Play, and Nourish, as well as a growing collection of intermittent fasting resources.

He recounts how his fasting routine, which began during the COVID-19 lockdowns, has transformed his health, allowing him to maintain muscle mass through strength training while experiencing a drop in weight.
