Episode 69- Maureen LeClair - a great story from a person who has overcome adversities and had fantastic success with intermittent fasting.

By Maureen LeClair  Maureen is a 61 year old woman, who lives in rural Alberta, just north of Edmonton Canada. She grew up in the area, and has very strong ties to the community. She is the second youngest of five children, and weight has been a “concern” for as long as she can remember. She has lost, gained back, lost, gained back weight multiple times throughout  her life – starting as a child of around 8 years of age. Following traditional Calories In/Calories  Out – low fat diets. Her mom was a nurse, and was continuously on / off diets, trying different weight loss  techniques - never “obese”, 20 – 40 lbs overweight. Dad always maintained healthy weight. Siblings were all “normal healthy” weight in their youth. She doesn’t have any underlying health issues, blood sugar, cholesterol, BP levels all within  normal ranges. Exception is an underactive thyroid, has been on medication for approximately  15 years. Maureen acknowledges she was an emotional eater; food was a source of comfort. Salty  snacks, breads were her drug of choice. She also embraced a lifestyle that involved a lot of  socializing and drinking. Not one for fast foods, soda drinks, sugary treats actually had a very  healthy diet for the most part. Whole, unprocessed foods were always her preference. Considers herself blessed to have strong relationships with her brother and his family; nieces /  nephews, great nieces / nephews. Has many long-term friendships, many of whom have offspring that are like family to her as well. Has had a very diverse work history, lots of rewarding life experiences. Found her “calling” as a  health and safety professional about 20 years ago, absolutely loves and is passionate about  her work. Loves being outside, traveling and exploring Canada, scenic walks or hikes, working in yard or  garden, star gazing, campfires, water activities. Life has thrown Maureen some curve balls, and she has found a resilience she never knew she  had. She is exceedingly grateful for where she is now, and the new found HOPE she has  discovered through the intermittent fasting way of life and way of eating.  #gratefulprairiegirl News.
