Success Highlight: Faster loses over 150 lbs and heals her Asthma, Allergies, and IBS

You never know what surprising health benefits you'll have until you try fasting.

Chelsea Hoffman, from Spokane, Washington, weighed 300 lbs at her heaviest. She was a self-described sugar addict and has memories of craving sugar from when she was only five.

In 2019, she heard about IF from a friend on Facebook and began fasting right away. She quickly fell into a schedule of eating between 4 pm and 7 pm. She says IF is the easiest lifestyle change she’s ever made!

Chelsea started dropping weight quite quickly and believes that much of that early weight loss was inflammation.

Prior to fasting, Chelsea had asthma that was out of control. She used her inhaler so often that sometimes she wasn’t allowed to refill it as often as she needed to. She was hospitalized several times for her asthma. 

She also had severe allergies to dust, trees, horses, and cats. If she walked into someone’s house who had a cat, her face would swell up so badly that she’d have to leave. She would frequently get hives but could never determine the cause, and neither could her doctor.

Chelsea also had such severe irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), that the intestinal cramps felt like being in labor.

A few months into fasting, Chelsea’s asthma completely disappeared. The last time she used her inhaler was three months after she began fasting. Her allergies so completely disappeared that she now owns a cat and has no adverse reactions to it. She no longer gets hives. Plus, her IBS is also now nonexistent.

This story speaks to the power of inflammation to wreak havoc on the body, and the power that losing inflammation has to transform and heal. 

Can you think of a pill that can do those things? A pill that doesn’t just manage asthma, as an inhaler does, but makes it disappear completely? Can you think of a pill that makes IBS nonexistent or makes someone severely allergic to cats suddenly able to own one?

There has never been a pill and will never be a pill that accomplishes what intermittent fasting does in your body.

As far as weight loss goes, Chelsea now weighs 138 lbs. Her waist went from 44” to 29”. That’s 15” gone from her waistline. She now wears a size 4. 

Chelsea’s advice: You are only given one body to go through life in. Fast because your body needs it.

Also, take your measurements! (Click here for a short post on how to measure.)
