The Fasting Highway Graeme Currie

Wendy is a recovering life-long emotional eater, food addict, and yo-yo dieter. IF was the missing tool she
needed to gain control of her cravings, to help her dig in and deal with the root issues of her bingeing - both biologically and emotionally.

She was put on her first diet at 11. But what nobody knew at the time was that she had some trauma that she was
trying to bury with food. And that would be her coping mechanism for the next 25 years. But she did every diet out there to try and manage it. Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, and every other fad. She’s lost and gained thousands of pounds over her lifetime.

In 2006, all of the pain that she’d been trying to keep at bay came bubbling up, and she had a nervous breakdown
and struggled with major depression for two solid years. She had binged her way up to 285 pounds in a short time.

After years of therapy and emotional healing, she was finally ready to tackle the weight gain and become a whole, integrated, and healthy person. Ready to heal her body after working to heal her mind and heart. Even though she doesn’t recommend it to anyone now, she had
Weight Loss Surgery in 2017 and lost 80 pounds in the first year. But then struggled to lose 20 more the next until she found that doing a Keto diet worked for her. In 2019, she met and married her amazing husband, who brought
carbs back into her life and house. And regained 20 pounds.

In 2020, she found IF, and she was determined not to put all the weight she’d worked hard to lose back on. She didn't know then that it would also help her heal her metabolism! She went on to lose an additional 40 pounds and has been maintaining a 140-pound loss with IF for almost four years now!

I'm
Justin Claypool, I'm excited to join you again on The Fasting Highway podcast. As you know, I'm originally from Klamath Falls, OR, and currently call Clarkston, WA home. Since our last chat, I've made significant changes in my approach to health and fitness that I can't wait to share with your audience. After shedding 150 pounds through intermittent fasting, I've shifted my focus towards building muscle. Over the past four years, I've been tweaking my fasting window to support this new goal, and it's been quite the journey. I think our conversation will offer valuable insights into the evolution of my wellness journey and the intricacies of transitioning from weight loss to muscle building.

Kelly Schupp is a 46-year-old mechanical engineer and mom of two living in Louisiana, one of the worst states for people who LOVE to eat!  The food there is well known for being irresistible, but not the healthiest.  Kelly grew up on an agricultural farm (primarily rice and crawfish) with a Cajun great-grandmother and mother who were fabulous cooks.  Food was everywhere, all the time, absolutely engrained in the culture she grew up in.

 

Kelly was overweight at a young age and struggled her whole life to lose weight and keep it off.  Her mom was also overweight and had them try every diet out there: Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, the “Zone” diet, low carb, ketogenic, paleo, etc.  Unfortunately, nothing ever worked long-term.

 Years went by and diets and workout fads came and went, but her weight remained the same.  She hovered nearly 200 lbs for nearly 20 years.  It was her body’s setpoint and
nothing she did ever changed it, even after she cleaned her diet up significantly to keep insulin resistance and diabetes at bay (which her mother and father both had).  Then, in 2018, Kelly had surgery, and her weight started to climb rapidly, topping out at around 215 lbs.

 

Kelly started an 8-week “body transformation” program, weightlifting 4-5x’s/week and eating like a bodybuilder.  She stuck to the program, logging everything she ate and did – and gained 3 lbs.  Her doctors scratched their heads and then offered to test her metabolism with a CO2 measurement.  Surprisingly, Kelly’s estimated basal
metabolic rate of 1500 kcal was off by 500 kcal!  The test proved that she only burned 1,000 kcal/day at rest, which meant 3 meals/day would be nearly impossible for her.

 

Kelly had read Gin Stephens’ book and was curious about fasting.  Her doctors agreed to let her try it.  In December
In 2022, she started with a 16:8 protocol, eventually settling on OMAD as it proved the easiest to manage as she travelled often for work and was rarely hungry in the evenings.

 

Kelly lost 60 lbs in the span of a year and is maintaining a 50 lb loss from her highest weight with more flexibility in
her eating window. Most days, she continues to do an 18:6, usually eating one meal + a small, high-protein snack before closing her window.  She understands the importance of clean fasting and sticks to water and/or black coffee during her fasts.  Fasting has finally given Kelly control over her body!.

Rachel Awad is an American university administrator
who is living in Egypt, and has been living in the Middle East for over 30 years. She has been overweight for most of her life. In 2008 Rachel (who is only 5’3”) reached her all-time highest weight of close to 300lbs. She managed to lose about 40 lbs with a popular commercial weight loss program (about calorie restriction). She eventually started regaining the weight she lost. When
she was close to her starting weight again, Rachel learned about Intermittent Fasting and Michael Moseley’s 5:2 plan. This was in 2014. She followed that for a few years, and was successful in losing weight.  In 2017, after reading Jason Fung’s The Obesity Code and Gin Stephen’s book Delay, Don’t Deny, she moved to a daily intermittent fasting approach and most importantly, to clean fasting.

 

Rachel became a huge proponent of IF, guiding many
friends to explore fasting, and becoming a moderator on some very large IF groups on FB. This is where she first met Graeme, and then read “The Fasting Highway” about his own IF journey. She has been an active member of The Fasting Highway FB group since its early days.

 

This is the 3rd time that Rachel has been a guest on the TFH podcast, previously in Episodes 6 and 152. She discusses her own journey with IF, how ADF can be a
very helpful tool when used correctly and for the right reasons, and the importance of knowing what’s in your IF toolbox.
