Kayla Cox was an overweight mother of three kids who was tired of riding the weight loss roller coaster. In 2014 she was tagged in a photograph on Facebook, and she barely recognized herself. She decided to figure out a way once and for all to lose the weight and keep it off, eating whatever foods she wanted. She eventually found success with intermittent fasting, and has lost over 80 pounds and kept it off with what feels like very little effort.
In September 2017 she started her website and Youtube channel, Six Miles To Supper, which has grown to over 65,000 subscribers. She discusses how she personally implements intermittent fasting in her daily life, without counting calories or restricting any types of foods. She also walks six miles a day, and covers other weight loss related topics, such as stress eating and the right mindset.
