The Author

Gin Stephens has done a lot of research. She has a gift of breaking down the science in an easy-to-understand way. Gin was a teacher for many years, and reading her books feels like your favorite teacher explaining concepts in ways that resonate.

Gin lays it all out there. She tells her personal story of her struggles and mistakes over the years. Many fad diets and regimens left her dealing with the ups and downs of trying to stick with restrictive plans. When she discovered success with intermittent fasting, she got on a mission to share her story.

Delay, Don’t Deny – Words That Motivate

I’ve read Delay, Don’t Deny a few times. When I feel like I need an extra dose of motivation to get back to intermittent fasting or be more consistent, I set this book on my desk or coffee table. The book’s title alone, “Delay, Don’t Deny,” inspires me.

How To Handle Social Situations

I have Chapter 17 – Sharing intermittent fasting with others – bookmarked. Why? I like to remind myself it’s okay to attend most events where there’s food and skip it. This chapter helps me remember how to handle situations when others don’t understand and question my intermittent fasting lifestyle.

Of course, there are times when waving off the food is not feasible. But I can plan my fasting schedule around important social meals. If someone has made one of my favorite dishes, especially for me, or the occasion is a sit-down meal with a group, I’m not passing that up! I can either plan to feast or fast, and most of the time, people don’t notice either way.

Flexibility

Gin writes about the flexibility of intermittent fasting and various ways to do it, depending on what works best for you. She’ll help motivate you to clean up your fasting act, be patient, and find the support and tools you need to be successful.

Delay, Don’t Deny is a must-read for anyone who wants to find motivation to live an intermittent fasting lifestyle, and take control of their health.

Kenneth Power, MD, wrote the forward to Delay, Don’t Deny. I’ll end with one of his quotes: “This truly is a way to change your lifestyle so your body’s health improves each day, month after month: less body fat, improved blood pressure, normalization of blood sugar…not to mention improved mental clarity, self-discipline, and self-confidence.”
