Hi there 👋🏼😄 My name is Sumaya and thanks to Intermittent Fasting (or IF for short), in 7.5 months I’ve dropped 50 pounds, 10.5% in body fat and 40 inches around my body. These results are entirely as a result of IF as I was unable to exercise for the first several months due to a fractured foot.

After college, I spent at least 5+ years in the overweight category (no thanks to bad habits, traveling and eating out) before spending another 5+ years in the obese category (no thanks to ‪startup stress‬, late nights and even more work travel). I’m now officially in the normal weight category (according to my BMI).

I tried everything from Jenny Craig/Weight Watchers to going to the gym 4–5x a week to weekly meal prep. While I did see some results, I eventually couldn’t keep up with it and then yo-yo’d. IF has been the simplest and most manageable way I have found to improve my health (and stick with it).
