Episode 346: Marlena Rustici


In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Marlena Rustici from Stamford, CT.

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.

Marlena is a litigation paralegal. She did not struggle with her weight until her twenties and then tried countless diets over the course of many years.

By the end of the 2020 pandemic, Marlena saw a picture of herself. She had reached her highest weight of 194 pounds and knew she needed to do something. Marlena researched “fasting” and found Delay, Don’t Deny. IF made complete sense to Marlena and she began her journey right away.

Marlena has lost 36 pounds. Her knee pain is completely gone and she feels calm around food.

Marlena’s advice: Read Gin’s books! Keep going. Know that IF takes time.
