Episode 108 - Jeff Gerken has lost 30kg (66 pounds) of weight over 18 months. An inspiring and emotional recount of his amazing journey.

Jeff Gerken Albany, NY, USA Age 56 Start weight 230 Pounds -14 Kg Began fasting January 2020 Goal weight 165 Pounds-75 Kg reached June 2021 Jeff grew up skinny as a kid, and stayed skinny until about age 25.  Always active and in sports, being thin seemed normal, without having to limit any type or amount of food at all.  But after age 25, his weight increased, and pants started to seemingly shrink.  Jeff tried to stay somewhat active in sports as an adult.  He was a ski instructor for a while, and then later a youth soccer coach, but the weight didn’t stop increasing.  By age fifty, heading toward 230 pounds, it seemed that old age, obesity, and declining health had caught up and it was time to withdraw from any athletic activities and just sit on the couch.  Even walks outside became short, infrequent, and labored. Jeff is married to Amy, and they have a teenage son.  There is always plenty of food and snacks in the house.  Both Jeff and Amy like to eat, and their son does too.  The son stays naturally skinny and athletic just like Jeff used to (but no longer can), eating unlimited amounts of food.  When Jeff started fasting and began to lose weight, then Amy eventually decided to join him and she has also since lost weight through fasting.  They now eat one meal a day.  Jeff prefers 23/1, while Amy chooses a longer window.  Their son of course eats whenever he wants. All health problems went away, and energy increased.  This is true particularly for Jeff, but also true for Amy.  Both currently enjoy biking and running.  In the winter, they also enjoy cross-country skiing The Fasting Highway News.
