Episode 231 Alsion Pizanie -Author of The Regain Remedy shares her incredible weight loss journey and making intermittent fasting a sustainable lifestyle.

The Fasting Highway

Alison Pizanie is an elementary school teacher living in Medford, New Jersey. She is 51 years old, married to her wife Kim, and has two sons, Reid and Brady. Alison has struggled her entire life with obesity and emotional eating. Food and eating always felt like an obsession. Diets never worked for her, in terms of any real weight loss, but she did diet her way up to 245 pounds (111 kg). At this weight and shorter stature, she felt miserable, sick, and tired. In 2016, out of desperation, she had weight loss surgery, the vertical sleeve gastrectomy. She did lose 90 pounds (40 kgs)… but weight loss surgery works until it doesn’t. By 2019, she was gaining her weight back rapidly despite following all of the post-surgical guidelines set by her doctors and nutritionist. Alison panicked and was confused about how to solve her regain issue. She gained about 20 pounds (9 kgs) before she found Delay, Don’t Deny by Gin Stephens in early 2020. It took some time and tweaking, but Alison has lost all regain plus more, equaling about 25 pounds (11 kgs) lost with intermittent fasting! She is at a total weight loss of 101 pounds (46 kgs) and now weighs 144 pounds (65 kgs). She would now recommend intermittent fasting instead of weight loss surgery and plans on living an intermittent fasting lifestyle forever! Alison recently self-published a book sharing her journey and teaching others with bariatric surgery how to succeed with intermittent fasting after weight loss surgery. The book The Regain Remedy: Using Intermittent Fasting to Achieve Permanent Weight Loss After Bariatric Surgery is available on Amazon.
