Episode 1 -Lou Collins The journey with an intermittent faster -my wife spills the beans

I interviewed my wife for a no filter account of what it is like to live with a committed intermittent faster when you aren’t always on the same page. It is a candid insight from a partner who has been on the journey from the beginning. We often forget what its’ like for our partners on the sidelines as we transform our health. We get so engaged in our journey everything around us sometimes gets lost as we focus on our health goals with single minded determination. Over the past 2.5 years my wife has had an up close and personal view of my major health transformation. I lost 60 kg 132 pounds through intermittent fasting and have successfully maintained that weight loss for over 12 months now. My wife has lived every bump in the road, every twist, every success and setback along the way. In this episode, we hear a raw and honest account of how the various aspects of my intermittent fasting journey affected her and what she truly thought about what I was doing from the beginning of the journey. Lou gives us an insight into what it was like watching the physical and mental changes unfold and how the healing of intermittent fasting convinced her that it was an amazing health plan for me. She talks about how it affected our daily home life and how it affected our social life.  We chat about what her family and friends thought about what I was doing along the way. Lou offers great advice for partners of people living an intermittent fasting lifestyle and sums up her observations in a heartfelt account. Lou talks about how important it is for a partner to understand our journey and why we are doing it. Seeing is believing and no one sees our transformation closer than our partners. We chat about how we had to re structure our house and habits to suit what I was doing, and how she felt about that. Seeing her husband lose 132 pounds 100 pounds of that inside a year, she talks about   what the physical changes were like to live with and how great it was watching my confidence and self-esteem bloom.
