Teetotal ‘hot gran’ who gets compared to a teenager says she fasts for 16 hours a day

A teetotal "hot gran" who gets compared to a teenager says she fast for 16 hours a day.

Nathalie Gangon stopped drinking alcohol and started intermittent fasting in 2016, and has seen a drastic effect on her health.

Her transformation into a super-fit gran has seen her compared to a 19-year-old by fans on TikTok, where she posts videos of herself posing up a storm.

Despite an exhaustive regime of keeping a close eye on her food intake and plenty of works outs, Nathalie’s message is simple: you’re never too old to turn things around.

After turning 50, the social media star turned her focus to leading a healthier lifestyle.

Nathalie from Quebec, Canada, said: "I just thought it's never too late to get in shape, and consistency is key.

"I started weight lifting at home when I turned 50, if I knew what I know now, I would have started earlier.

"I have to work hard to keep my shape and it gives me so much energy, we're all getting older and I just want to have a good quality of life.”

Nathalie trains at least three times a week, as well as going on dog walks, hikes and paddle boarding to keep up her fitness regime.

Alongside that, she keeps a close eye on her diet by intermittent fasting – which involves her fasting for 16 hours a day, and only eating in the 12pm-8pm window.

But despite the limited eating hours, she insists her diet is balanced.

She said: "I try to eat healthy most of the time and eat less processed food and not too much sugar, I don’t not starve myself and eat at least 2,000 calories a day.

"I still eat Big Macs, fast food, and sometimes my favourite treat is ice cream."

Nathalie has garnered plenty of attention online as a result of her impressive looks, with 175,000 followers on TikTok.

In one video, Nathalie, who goes by @lalie .quebec on the app, taps the camera before revealing herself in a skimpy outfit of shorts and a top.

“I fr thought you were 19,” one viewer commented. [sic]

Another person added: “I can’t believe we’re the same age!? You look fabulous!”

“No way, you’re so damn beautiful,” another viewer said.

Someone else guessed: “You ain't no grandma, you look like you’re in ur twenties!” [sic]

Nathalie said: "Everyone loves my smile, my authenticity and my sexy curves.

"I often get comments like: you are gorgeous, awesome, beautiful and sexy.

"I guess people like the whole package and my brilliant energy.

"I don’t think I am the most beautiful but I do have charisma and good vibes.

"Of course I have a sexy body, but am I perfect? No.

Nathalie, who spends her spare time re-selling and investing in the stock market, says her family is extremely supportive of her online pursuits.

And she has some sage advice for other people.

She said: "Stop comparing yourself to others, you can have the same workout, same diet and you will get a different result
