The Fast Diet: The Simple Secret Of Intermittent Fasting: Lose Weight, Stay Healthy, Live Longer (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Very fast read. I've been intrigued by this lifestyle diet since hearing about it on NPR. It's a very simple plan, and the menu plans/calorie guides are a great resource for fasting days. The content was large presented in a Q&A format which is helpful for addressing particular issues rather than being bogged down in long prose. The "testimonials" section was pretty pointless. I borrowed the book from my library and I'm quite happy with the decision. The guidance here, plus resources from the Internet can get you all the information you need. If I'd paid the list price of $24, I'd feel a little disgruntled. It's a book about dieting so not a cuddly bedtime read but it worked for me. I saw Michael Mosley's TV show about the 5:2 diet (where you eat normally for 5 days a week and eat only 600 calories for two days a week on the other two) and got the book.The book served to help on those hungry days, to steel my resolve and strangely not make it seem harder.It is actually a good read as it goes into the reasoning and history of why we eat too much and why fasting is something we have only not done recently.I did the 5:2 for about 3 months, lost a lot of weight and since then have been disciplined and eaten only 'good stuff.' Without boasting too much....okay just a little, I have lost 21kgs (around 50lbs) in just over a year. This is what started it all and my feet disappearing from view!
