Health Gains

Lyn Huston's journey with intermittent fasting has led to significant health transformations. She shares how her blood sugar levels are now consistently under control, allowing her to enjoy foods like red wine and dessert without issues 1. Lyn attributes these improvements to fasting and regular exercise, which she finds both enjoyable and beneficial 1. Her diabetes is now a thing of the past, and she no longer suffers from debilitating back and knee pain 2.

My blood sugar is completely under control, like, all the time. I never, like, I can drink red wine and I can eat dessert, and I don't have any issues with that at all.

--- Lyn Huston

These changes have allowed her to lead a more active and fulfilling life, free from the limitations of her previous health issues.

   

Weight Freedom

Lyn discusses the freedom she has found from the scale and the pressures of maintaining a specific weight. Despite the common belief that daily weighing helps maintain weight loss, she chooses not to rely on the scale, focusing instead on how her clothes fit and her overall well-being 3. Lyn emphasizes the importance of being content with one's body and lifestyle, even if it means occasional fluctuations in weight 3.

I wanted that freedom from the scale. And I know now that I can, I'm not ever gonna. I don't think.

--- Lyn Huston

Her approach to weight management is about finding balance and enjoying life, rather than adhering to strict numbers.

   

Hormonal Impact

Hormonal changes have significantly impacted Lyn's fasting and weight loss journey. Post-menopause, she noticed changes in her skin elasticity and weight management, which she attributes to the loss of hormones like estrogen and progesterone 4. Lyn and Gin discuss how these hormonal shifts can make weight loss more challenging, highlighting the importance of understanding one's body during this phase 4.

We really do change, and it becomes more difficult to lose weight because our blood sugar control is not as good when we don't have those hormones.

--- Gin Stephens

Despite these challenges, Lyn continues to embrace fasting as a sustainable lifestyle choice.
