Episode 370: Anita Downes

In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Anita Downes from Perth, Australia. 

Are you ready to take your intermittent fasting lifestyle to the next level? There’s nothing better than community to help with that. In the Delay, Don’t Deny community we all embrace the clean fast, and there’s just the right support for you as you live your intermittent fasting lifestyle. 

You can connect directly with Gin in the Ask Gin group, and she will answer all of your questions personally. If you’re new to intermittent fasting or recommitting to the IF lifestyle, join the 28-Day FAST Start group. After your fast start, join us for support in The 1st Year group. Need tips for long term maintenance? We have a place for that! There are many more useful spaces beyond these, and you can interact in as many as you like. 

Visit ginstephens.com/community to join us. An annual membership costs just over a dollar a week when you do the math. If you aren’t ready to fully commit for a year, join for a month and you can cancel at any time. If you know you’ll want to stay forever, we also have a lifetime membership option available.  

IF is free. You don’t need to join our community to fast. But if you’re looking for support from a community of like-minded IFers, we are here for you at ginstephens.com/community. 

Anita is a full-time mom who teaches music. She began to struggle with her weight in her twenties and started her first diet program. She would lose weight, but always gain it back. In November of 2021, Anita found herself at 256 pounds and knew she needed to do something. Her sister shared IF with her, along with Gin’s books.

Anita began her IF journey gradually. She has lost 80 pounds and 15 inches off her waist! Anita no longer struggles with migraines, is more active, and feels healthy. 

Anita’s advice: Get your head in the IF game! Read Gin’s books, listen to this podcast, and find your “why.”
