Interesting concept。 A book to read in stages if you want to adapt this plan。 Provides a wide array of recipes and detailed explanations。 May try in the future, but timing not right for me now。

Very basic

I dislike many things about this book, first and foremost, it would require so much time, labor, energy and money to eat like this that only a tiny fraction of the the world's rich, privileged, and comfortable could even consider it。 I would have been more okay with this book if it hadn't used the word "Intuitive" There is exactly zero ZERO zero "intuitive" things going on in this book。 Intuitive eating advocates not creating a scarcity mindset through creating "forbidden" foods。 This whole book I dislike many things about this book, first and foremost, it would require so much time, labor, energy and money to eat like this that only a tiny fraction of the the world's rich, privileged, and comfortable could even consider it。 I would have been more okay with this book if it hadn't used the word "Intuitive" There is exactly zero ZERO zero "intuitive" things going on in this book。 Intuitive eating advocates not creating a scarcity mindset through creating "forbidden" foods。 This whole book is about making most food forbidden。 Intuitive eating is about listening to your body and honoring it's hunger and satiation signals, this book mentions "eat until your satisfied" exactly one time that I noticed but gave no further information about how to do this (blerg, it should be easy but it's not, we are broken by this stupid world)。 Intuitive eating is all about not focusing on weight loss but on feeling healthy both mentally and physically, this book is 100% about weight loss, when it says "healthy" it really means "skinny"。 I am just seriously not a fan of celebrity doctors who use "sciencey" sounding reasons for giving completely speculative nonsense advice。 And while I think intermittent fasting is an interesting and intriguing area of study, this book is full of so much nonsense i don't even have the energy to start。 。。。more

Interesting info。 Sound reasoning for this approach。 Already have an eating window to keep weight in balance。 Didn’t find the menu plan to be something I’d latch onto。

This book was very informative and easy to read。 The meal plans are fairly easy and recipes are mostly delicious。 My husband has given thumbs up to most。 We are still in week 1 but are doing fine so far。 I look forward to the next 4 weeks to see results。 We both want to lose 10-20 lbs。 A grocery list for each week included in the book would have made it easier。

So I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for a little over a month now。 I like it。 This book just reinforces a lot of the things I’ve previously learned while adding in an option to do a ketotarian diet while intermittent fasting。 I’m not sure that is something I’d want to do long term but I like having info in “my toolbox” if I want it。 It’s a flexible 4 week plan and there is even a menu complete with recipes so anyone who would choose to do it it makes it as easy as possible。 I might give it a So I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for a little over a month now。 I like it。 This book just reinforces a lot of the things I’ve previously learned while adding in an option to do a ketotarian diet while intermittent fasting。 I’m not sure that is something I’d want to do long term but I like having info in “my toolbox” if I want it。 It’s a flexible 4 week plan and there is even a menu complete with recipes so anyone who would choose to do it it makes it as easy as possible。 I might give it a try at some point or I might just incorporate some of the recipes into what I am doing well。Either way, if you are looking into intermittent fasting or already do it and are interested in keto I’d say if this book a read。 If nothing else, you’ll gain a few recipes to try。 。。。more

One of the best books on IF I’ve read so far。 Week 3 is too extreme for me, but I picked up some great information from the book as a whole。 Would definitely recommend!

Emily Davis

I love this take on intermittent fasting。 I had dabbled in it and through this book I realized I had been doing it all wrong! It should not be a punitive practice, but rather a form of self love and self respect。 I loved learning of all of the science backed benefits to IF, and how to do it in a loving intuitive way that honors your body’s natural signaling。

I have been Intermittent Fasting for almost 3 years。 I like his flexible approach。 I also like how he gives examples for all types of Keto eating such as vegetarian, pescatarian, meat-eaters, and more。 Personally, I struggle with Keto beliefs as they add fat just for the sake of adding fat。 It seems more natural to me to just get fats from food。 However, I think many of the points in this book are good recommendations。 The recipes are varied。 If you are curious about IF, this is a great book to I have been Intermittent Fasting for almost 3 years。 I like his flexible approach。 I also like how he gives examples for all types of Keto eating such as vegetarian, pescatarian, meat-eaters, and more。 Personally, I struggle with Keto beliefs as they add fat just for the sake of adding fat。 It seems more natural to me to just get fats from food。 However, I think many of the points in this book are good recommendations。 The recipes are varied。 If you are curious about IF, this is a great book to read。 The information is easily understood and well presented。 。。。more

Some good info for someone just starting out with IF

This is Nonfiction Health。 The author gives his 4 week plan for intermittent fasting (IF) in this short book。 If you are a total newbie to IF this might be the book for you because the author walks you through each step and he covers the "why" of it all。 Also if you want a diet that is 50% fat, 30% protein and 20% or less of carbs, again, this might be the book for you (which I'm not a fan of)。 I also liked that he used new studies that I haven't heard before。 So many Health books use the same s This is Nonfiction Health。 The author gives his 4 week plan for intermittent fasting (IF) in this short book。 If you are a total newbie to IF this might be the book for you because the author walks you through each step and he covers the "why" of it all。 Also if you want a diet that is 50% fat, 30% protein and 20% or less of carbs, again, this might be the book for you (which I'm not a fan of)。 I also liked that he used new studies that I haven't heard before。 So many Health books use the same studies over and over again。 So yay for the newness he provided。I liked this author's flexible approach to this plan。 He stressed the "low-stress" approach。 However, I'm not new to this type of eating and the macro ratio isn't one I believe in for the long run。 You don't need that ratio to practice IF。 While I liked the rehash of the benefits of IF, the author clearly was addressing newbies。 So 3 stars。 。。。more

A good friend of mine lost fifteen pounds - the last 15- in her 50s (a harder age to lose weight typically) doing intermittent fasting。 I was interested in checking this out。 The author explains things in an easy to follow format and doesn't have you jump in the deep end of fasting to start。 It definitely makes sense and people should consult their physician before starting the program。 I'm hoping this will kick-start my weight loss efforts。 A good friend of mine lost fifteen pounds - the last 15- in her 50s (a harder age to lose weight typically) doing intermittent fasting。 I was interested in checking this out。 The author explains things in an easy to follow format and doesn't have you jump in the deep end of fasting to start。 It definitely makes sense and people should consult their physician before starting the program。 I'm hoping this will kick-start my weight loss efforts。 。。。more

I'm no stranger to fasting; I lost 50 lbs with fasting/keto but then 2020 happened and I fell off the wagon。 Ugh。 When I saw this on Netgalley, I requested it, as my goal for the new year is to get back on the weight loss train and I was interested in seeing if there was anything new I could add to my routine。 I'm not sure where the idea that fasting is bad for you came about, but it's not true。 When I started fasting, I had a lot of people spouting off untruths - everything from how fasting wil I'm no stranger to fasting; I lost 50 lbs with fasting/keto but then 2020 happened and I fell off the wagon。 Ugh。 When I saw this on Netgalley, I requested it, as my goal for the new year is to get back on the weight loss train and I was interested in seeing if there was anything new I could add to my routine。 I'm not sure where the idea that fasting is bad for you came about, but it's not true。 When I started fasting, I had a lot of people spouting off untruths - everything from how fasting will "slow your metabolism" to "it's not healthy" to the head scratching "you'll become malnourished"。 Seriously? None of those things are true。 And adding low-carb eating along with fasting cuts down on cravings, which means once you get past the first week or 2, you'll find it easier and easier to do。As far as all of the information in the book goes, I did learn a few new things that I intend to incorporate into my new program。 Things like staying away from diet sodas (I'm not going to pretend I'll give up my beloved Pepsi Free entirely, but I will reduce the amount I drink substantially) and also from dairy (As a cheese addict, this one will be tough。 Goodbye Pepper Jack, I'll miss you) so I've got some challenges in the weeks ahead as I adjust my eating plan。If you are new to fasting (or are interested in learning more about it) then this is a great place to learn more。 All the information is easy to understand and would be a great resource for people who want to begin fasting but don't know where to start。 Included in the program are recipes and sample plans for what the author calls "Ketotarian" - in other words a high fat/moderate protein/low carb diet that includes lean meats and vegetables, combined with a 4 week get started plan。 The program is simple enough to do (although the first week may not be easy) and I recommend it for people to at least try。 。。。more
