I like Lesya's story because she keeps it real... Lesya has struggled with her weight her entire life and, luckily, found fasting after receiving a pre-diabetes/diabetes diagnosis in 2017. Right away, she got serious about fasting and was able to drop her A1c from 6.5 to the low 5s. She has been able to maintain her A1c in a normal range to this day. However, her story is not without challenges. She is Ukrainian and has had an extremely difficult year. Due to all the stress that she has endured, she has regained some of the weight that she has lost (high weight 260, low weight 150). We talk about challenges with respect to fasting that come up when we are under extreme stress. Through it all, Lesya's commitment to fasting is unwavering. Despite the challenges that she has encountered recently, she knows that she will continue fasting for life.
