Good information on fasting

So far, this is the most in depth and detailed book on fasting I've read. I'm still new to doing it and I find it challenging, but books like this as well as THE OBESITY CODE have convinced me to make it part of my life.

I took off one star for the overall rating and story only because the author promotes the idea of drinking diet soda during the zero calorie phase of your fast. Sighhh. No matter how many times you tell me "it almost doesn't matter what you eat during the feeding period, fasting fixes everything!" I can't support this. Artificial sweeteners are poison. I don't like this mentality that just because your fasting habits will keep you slim, you can consume whatever you want without really thinking about it. Food is MEDICINE. Treat it with respect. Treat your body with respect. Just because you get thin does not mean you're healthy.

That's the only gripe i have with this book. Fasting is great. I'm convinced of that. But what you eat, when you do eat, MATTERS. The food you choose to eat either enhances or hurts your health. So just keep that in mind when you read this.

Content yes- barking dogs and background noise no.

I had just read the Complete Guide to Fasting, and this book was mentioned, so I thought I'd try it. It's a good companion book, and I liked the content, but the garbled electronic noise and barking dogs in the background of the narration were absolutely maddening. Was it recorded in a mall? An animal shelter? I don't understand how books with this type of noise get published on Audible. I vote for the print version of this book.

This is the best Intermittent Fasting book

I listened to Brad Pilon's original book about 4-6 years ago whenever it came out and it made a major impact on my life. I've read nearly all the I/F books but Brad brings in the most scientific research in a very consumable manner. His first audiobook was a DIY and the quality of the production was poor but this one on Audible is absolutely top-notch and the production is great. I really enjoyed listening to this updated version about 10 times more than the first edition.

Good content but...

The content is very informative and easy to understand but narrator make it very exhausted to listening to, too fast and monotonous plus too fast and unintended in some chapters. Sorry to say that.

One of the best books I've read on fasting

This is one of the best, if not the best, books I've read on intermittent fasting. Pilon explains the science and the approach in a straightforward and easy to understand manner. I've read a number of Jason Fung's books (Complete Guide to Fasting, The Obesity Code) and learned the most from Pilon's book. He doesn't make grandiose claims and doesn't "dumb it down" by repeating the same concept twenty times over. I highly recommend this book if you are interested in learning about the benefits of intermittent fasting and want to try a simple approach to it.

Can't get through it, terrible narration!

This book was highly recommended, but I can't get through it due to such poor, monotone reading. Content seems good but the narration made it almost unbearable to me. I'm going to try the kindle version...

Great diet strategy

A good book that gives a very easy way to fast and explains the benefits of the strategy. I found it very informative without being to technical. A definite must read for any person interested in fasting.

Great but too scientific

This book has some great information. I’m just not a huge fan of books with too much scientific data. It gets boring.

Good Beginning Book on Fasting

This is a good book to read as you begin fasting. The Obesity Code is more comprehensive, but this book makes fasting easy to understand.

Very Informative. Will recommend to a friend.

Loved the book only wish the author gave his opinion regarding an appropriate daily caloric intake for the average healthy person who are moderately active.

I really informative

Great book about fasting. As for me, bodybuilder, the information is really interesting and I learned a lot. Wish to have paper version and read again.

Good book bad narration

An insightful book with plenty of info and apparent evidence to back up its claims. The narrator in this particular instance was poor, constantly tripping over words and read with a clinical monotonous tone making it difficult to listen to sometimes.

Common sense at last

What made the experience of listening to Eat Stop Eat the most enjoyable?

No complicated diet, no calorie counting, no banned foods just good old common sense and sanity.

What did you like best about this story?

The way to reach and maintain healthy weight. Period.

Any additional comments?

Narrator was very good, although his mispronunciation of words like estradiol, catecholamines, aspartame was slightly irritating.
