Summary

Notes From Your Bookseller

From the Bulletproof Coffee creator comes a detailed look at intermittent fasting， a hot trend now but a lifestyle practiced by Dave Asprey for many years。 Fasting can certainly help you lose weight， but the additional benefits can provide inflammation protection and insulin resistance。 Asprey is a known biohacker and has used his body as a laboratory to refine his diet and fitness。 Everything he talks about is not simply theory; he has put his ideas to the test by experimenting on himself。 A compelling look at fasting and its beneficial effects。

Break the rules， not the fast with world-renowned biohacker and New York Times bestselling author Dave Asprey。For more than a decade， the Bulletproof founder Dave Asprey has shared his unique point of view and expertise to help fans become the best versions of themselves。 From living longer to getting smarter， maximizing performance to practicing mindfulness， Dave’s followers look to him for his take on the most effective techniques to become healthier and more powerful than most doctors think is possible。

Asprey has been fasting for years， long before it gained widespread popularity， and if you’re a fan of Bulletproof coffee and The Bulletproof Diet， you have been enjoying some of the benefits of Intermittent Fasting too。

In Fast This Way， Dave asks readers to forget everything they think they know about the ancient practice and takes them on a journey through cutting-edge science to examine the ways novice fasters and Intermittent Fasting loyalists can up-end their relationship with food and upgrade their fasting game beyond calorie restriction。  

  • What IF eating the right foods at the right time can actually enhance your fast？  
  • What IF how you work out and sleep could trick your body into thinking you are fasting？ 
  • What IF it were easy to skip a meal， or two， or three？  
  • What IF fasting is different for women， can be personalized to your genes， and can impact your mental health？ 
  • What IF all fasts could be created equal？

Fast This Way is a compelling read through the latest thinking on fasting and gives readers the manual and toolkit to make the most of their fasts and their personal biology。 

Editor Reviews

Fasting can be a huge gain， and not a sacrifice！  In Fast This Way， Dave Asprey uses his legendary biohacking skills to show readers how fasting can offer protective benefits ranging from enhanced longevity to decreased risk of neurodegeneration to improved metabolic function。  While the power of food can indeed boost the body’s defensive systems， Fast This Way shows how not eating for certain lengths of time can also be an incredible tool for building health。 Read this book to learn how you can turn less food into more health。

If you know Dave Asprey， you know he has been a longtime practitioner of intermittent fasting。 He's a biohacker so everything he talks about he has done to himself so he knows the tips and tricks for fasting success。 You'll have more energy， lose weight and gain a mental sharpness that you don't get when dieting。

A big long chat about Dave’s pilgrimage， Fasting and how it might effect or apply to you;This is NOT your typical health book。 The science is spare and Dave’s experiences are everywhere: multiple caves， shamans， deserts， mountains。。。That’s not to say there’s no science， it’s just not front and center; Dave is - Bulletproof Coffee is。Fasting is the subject of this book and there’s not much new here。 I’ve been successfully practicing IF for a year and thankfully started with Jason Fung & Gin Steph A big long chat about Dave’s pilgrimage， Fasting and how it might effect or apply to you;This is NOT your typical health book。 The science is spare and Dave’s experiences are everywhere: multiple caves， shamans， deserts， mountains。。。That’s not to say there’s no science， it’s just not front and center; Dave is - Bulletproof Coffee is。Fasting is the subject of this book and there’s not much new here。 I’ve been successfully practicing IF for a year and thankfully started with Jason Fung & Gin Stephens; more scientific and how-to than what you’ll find here。 “Fast This Way” is a largely anecdotal volume that chronicles Dave Asprey’s history with fasting。 He does get around to giving some suggestions for pairing exercise with fasting and what time and what types of exercise make the best impact。 Be prepared to take notes or use an highlight function。 There’s little recapping or summary in his writing。 It’s like listening to a chilled out professor ramble on - this guy actually refers to the sex act as bonking🥴Anyway， the highlights of this volume for me were: Chapter 3’s - Stages of Fasting - where there’s a clear explaining of how the body responds at various timed intervals （most people） Chapter 8 - has some interesting info on vitamins， supplements and the possible impact on/with fasting。 IMO， this needs further investigation on my part， but it’s a good jumping off place。 Chapter 9 - is a good discussion about how fasting is different for women based on hormonal seasons of life。The remainder of the book is largely Dave’s experiences and philosophical approaches rather than science or it’s information readily available to anyone asking their “assistant” to the masses to grant them an info dump on the subject。 Particularly weak are the chapters on sleep and mental & spiritual health。On a technical issue， the Notes section of the book is interactive and will take you back to that section of text in the Kindle Edition。 It does NOT work in both directions and the Index is NOT interactive - it’s setup to match the HC version。Easy to read and accessible， perhaps this book will be best suited for those who are followers of Dave， the Bulletproof Plan or those who are very new to Fasting。 Seasoned IF’ers will not find any new revelations or challenges for their journey 📚 。。。more

I’m on the fence about this book。 There were some things in it that were insightful and that I want to try。 I enjoyed hearing about his spiritual fast in a cave， which frames the entire book。 Though， it was a little out there for me at times。 As a fasting purist， I didn’t like that he repeatedly says that fasting purists are miserable and struggle to make it through each fast。 That isn’t the case in my life， and it isn’t the case in many purist IFers’ lives。 I think the section where he talks ab I’m on the fence about this book。 There were some things in it that were insightful and that I want to try。 I enjoyed hearing about his spiritual fast in a cave， which frames the entire book。 Though， it was a little out there for me at times。 As a fasting purist， I didn’t like that he repeatedly says that fasting purists are miserable and struggle to make it through each fast。 That isn’t the case in my life， and it isn’t the case in many purist IFers’ lives。 I think the section where he talks about women and fasting is full of broad generalizations that lack consistent scientific studies to back them。 And， while saying he isn’t trying to sell Bulletproof coffee， he does promote it throughout the book。 However， I don’t think I am his target audience。 This books seems to be more for people who have never tried fasting and know nothing about it。 Overall， it is a book that would be a good introduction to fasting for somebody who has never tried it and is curious about fasting。 。。。more
