Episode 13 – JEFF BARTH -A trucker doing intermittent fasting for four months and losing 16kg (34 pounds)

Jeff Barth has been a trucker for 29 years. He struggled with his weight all of that time. The hours on the road spent driving and eating out of boredom took their toll on him. Jeff, in his own words basically gave up on ever being healthy again. He tried low carb diets over the years and lost weight every time he tried but soon gained it all back.

Jeff stumbled across Gin Stephens book Delay Don’t Deny and found his way to intermittent fasting. Jeff explains how fasting works so well for a trucker’s lifestyle especially since the pandemic has closed down so many places to eat. Jeff explains how Intermittent fasting has helped reduce swelling in his legs, reduced his foot pain and cured his acid reflux. Jeff is starting his fourth month of intermittent fasting and has lost an amazing 34 pounds.

Jeffs dream is to walk into any department store and buy regular sized clothes with a choice of styles and colours. This podcast is a great listen for anyone starting out or an experienced faster as Jeff offers some fantastic advice around living an intermittent fasting lifestyle.
