"Fasting is so much easier without sugar and alcohol": Lisa
September 1, 2024
When Lisa was around 20 years old, she was diagnosed with hypothyroidism.
One of the main side effects was weight gain.
And that set her down a path of obsession with food and exercise because she didn't want to gain weight.
Previous to that, she had digestive issues. So to try to find a solution, Lisa did everything to the extreme. For example, massive elimination diets. She cut all starchy, carby, and sugary foods.
But it was exhausting for her, and she felt restricted... which led to cravings and bingeing.
In her quest to find a sustainable solution to help with her digestion, keep her weight stable, stabilize her blood sugar, and get rid of her cravings, Lisa discovered intermittent fasting.
Once she started fasting, Lisa realized that sugar was the one thing that made her feel like once she had it, she wanted more of it. She was able to moderate everything else... but not sugar.
Listen to how Lisa finally let go of sugar - and alcohol - and how easy and freeing her intermittent fasting lifestyle is today!
