Intermittent Fasting Helps Doctor Lose 125 Pounds In 18 Months

Dr. Kevin Gendreau watched his sister die of cancer and realized she had no choice in health. But he did. With intermittent fasting, he lost 125 pounds.

As Dr. Kevin Gendreau watched his 32-year-old sister grow sicker and sicker due to an aggressive ovarian cancer, he reevaluated his own health. The then 28-year-old resident physician was 300 pounds at 5 feet 9 inches tall.

“My poor sister, Rachel, she had no choice with her health,” Gendreau, 31, of Fairhaven, Massachusetts, told TODAY. “I was choosing to be unhealthy.”

He had first gained 50 pounds as a college freshman and kept binge eating to deal with stress. When his father died of a rare form of melanoma, Gendreau turned to food for comfort. During medical school he gained even more weight.
