Episode 70- Candee Lynn A life long battle with weight, now a life of great health living an intermittent fasting lifestyle.

My Story My name is Candee and I have been battling my weight for what seems like forever. My dieting history started at the age of 10 when my parents put me on my first diet at the recommendation of my pediatrician. I was switched to skim milk and limited to one helping of dinner and no dessert. It was then that I learned how to sneak food. At 12 I asked to go away to “fat camp”. I found one in California and my parents agreed and I went to San Diego for 6 weeks. I lost approximately 25 pounds through severe calorie restriction and exercise. I think it took me about 12 weeks to gain it back and then some because I didn’t really learn how to follow the program and my parents didn’t do it for me. I have done every diet under the sun. I always started a diet when I was around 40 pounds above my weight. I’ve lost 40 pounds numerous times. In 1999 I joined WW after a friend lost around 50 pounds. I was successful and lost 42 pounds and was even approached about coming on staff. I joined the WW staff in 2000 and worked for them for over 16 years. During my tenure I was able to maintain my weight except for my three pregnancies in which I gained over 40 pounds and successfully lost the weight each time. I left WW due to poor management. When I stopped working for them I gained around 30 pounds and decided to do keto. Keto wasn’t a great fit for me because I love to eat all kinds of foods and it was very limiting. I heard about IF during that time, but didn’t really know too much about. In 2018 I was desperate. My weight was up again and I was creeping up to the 40 pound mark. I was working in health care and a mutual friend/patient came in and looked amazing. We talked about IF and she told me about DDD. I purchased the book before she was out of the parking lot and read it throughout the day. I started fasting that day. With IF I have been able to lose around 30 pounds. I am not sure exactly how much I have lost at this point because I have broken up with my scale. My focus right now is health. I turned 50 this year and for me it is about a feeling. If my clothes fit, I know I am on the right track. I pretty much follow OMAD except for once a week I do mealless monday ( currently). I run, practice yoga and walk. Most days my fasting protocol is 20/4 or 22/2. I am learning what foods make me feel good and which don’t. My goal is to continue to be active and be a great example for my boys. I want to keep up with them. I have started my own FB group to help and encourage others. News. My book The Fasting Highway is available on Amazon in both paperback and kindle.
