Episode 176 Martin Sher -A 71-year-old retired CEO shares how he uses intermittent fasting for maintaining weight loss, creating a passion to share the benefits.

 I am a 71-year-old retired CEO of an 84-year-old family business.  I have been retired for about 15 years.  My passion is to do whatever I can to spread the word about the incredible health benefits of intermittent fasting.  I have lost about 50 pounds on my own customized plan along with intermittent fasting. I have maintained my weight loss for about 15 years. In my retirement, I kept the title CEO, but changed the description to the “Chief Eating Officer.”  I believe everyone should be the “Chief Eating Officer” of their own mind, body, and spirit.  I discovered intermittent fasting on December 20, 2020, when I read “Fast, Feast, Repeat,” by Gin Stephens. It was great timing because I was looking for a sustainable way to maintain my 40-pound weight loss.   I also read “The Obesity Code” by Jason Fung, “The Fasting Highway” by Graeme Currie, and listened to numerous other podcasts. Becoming an intermittent faster was one of the easiest decisions I have ever made.  I adopted a 20-24 hour fasting window during the first week and have been practicing it for almost 2.5 years. I have lost an additional 10 pounds with intermittent fasting and have successfully maintained the 50-pound weight loss. I was CEO of my familybusiness for 35 years.  When I made my irrevocable commitment to lose weight I wrote my own plan. I used the CEO skills I had used my entire adult life.  I taught myself how to eat, how not to eat, how to think, and how to use tiny habits to correct all 17 bad habits I acquired during the first 10years of my life. As the Compassionate Chief Eating Officer, I created my mission, vision, and my core values.  My Mission is to get people out of “Diet Hell” forever. My Vision is customized permanent weight loss and lifestyle plans for all. My 10 Core Values are to be calm, creative, imaginative, positive, kind, truthful, and to have belief, commitment determination and patience. I want to do everything I can to help people get healthy and reach their unlimited human potential.
