Episode 58: Losing During Lockdown: Busy Mom of Three Loses Over 120lbs
Margret lives in Ireland, home to one of the world’s longest Covid lockdowns. She is a mom of three kids, ages four years and younger. In the midst of masks, social distancing and dramatic schedule changes, Margret knew she must prioritize her health.
Motherhood had hit her hard and she found herself “comfort eating.” Happy? Eat. Sad? Eat. At 300 pounds, exercise was a struggle. But Margret learned about intermittent fasting and started with an 18:6* protocol.
In less than a year of “I.F.,” Margret lost 120 pounds. A confessed “foodie,” Margret loves to cook and discover new recipes. On her new regimen, she can cook and eat foods she loves, while still losing weight.
More good news: Because of her improved health, Margret’s allergies and asthma have also healed. She wants to share her practical lifestyle and positive results with the world, in hopes those now without answers—as she once was—can truly realize results. Margret’s message: if I can do it, you can too.
This is a great episode for someone who is new to I.F. and just starting their journey, or those hoping to revisit/revise their I.F. path. No matter what your health status, you be inspired and encouraged by Margret’s story.
