Publisher's summary

Thousands of books have been written about the latest and greatest diets that will help people lose weight and improve health. But a key element in any successful nutritional health program is a tried-and-true method that most people haven't thought about - yet it could be revolutionary for taking health to the next level. This ancient secret is fasting.

Fasting is not about starving oneself. When done right, it's an incredibly effective therapeutic approach that produces amazing results regardless of diet plan. In fact, Toronto-based nephrologist Dr. Jason Fung has used a variety of fasting protocols with more than 1,000 patients, with fantastic success. In The Complete Guide to Fasting, he has teamed up with international best-selling author and veteran health podcaster Jimmy Moore to explain what fasting is really about, why it's so important, and how to fast in a way that improves health. Together, they make fasting as a therapeutic approach both practical and easy to understand.

The Complete Guide to Fasting explains:

• Why fasting is actually good for health
• Who can benefit from fasting (and who won't)
• The history of fasting
• The various ways to fast: intermittent, alternate-day, and extended fasting
• What to expect when starting to fast
• How to track progress while fasting
• The weight loss effects of fasting
• How to ward off potential negative effects from fasting

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Great book, REALLY Bad Narrator

This book, especially when read after The Obesity Code, is fantastic. It's so good to me that overall the rating is still 5 stars even though the narration was HORRIBLE.

Jimmy Moore seems like a good guy and maybe he's got his fans from his podcast. Maybe he sounds more natural in regular conversation. But he was not the right person to read this audiobook. He sounds like he's never spoken to other people in his life and also like he's not sure how to read.

I'm truly sorry, I don't like to be critical of other people, but it was just that bad.

Dr. Fung and Jimmy Lead the Pack!

Any additional comments?

Thank you! I've fasted 24-48 hours in the past, painfully! I needed to do a 7 day fast for health reasons and so, got your book in hopes it would help me through. Did it ever! Today I finished my 7 day water only (and a little green tea) fast and I know I was successful because of your information. I didn't quit on day 2 knowing day 3 and beyond would be easier. Without your information either I would have quit or been miserable for the entire time. Instead I breezed through and rode with the difficult spots. During my fast I got to my ideal body weight though I expect to add some lbs back on in the coming days. On top of all of that, great narrating Jimmy! This book was well organized and easy to listen to which I cannot say for many books of this kind.

Outstanding and must listen to!

Imperative to share this information with friends and family as so many myths are debunked.

Highly recommend both audio and physical books.

helpful

researching the plan for me at 72, may be my salvation. Very informative, thank you

Excellent and helpful book, terrible performance

The content of this book is fantastic. It was very helpful in getting me started on fasting. The tips, warnings, and strategies gave me all the information I needed to start a fasting regimen. However, the guy reading this book is monotone, dull, and sometimes annoying. Would not listen to anything else by him. But again, the actual content of the book is great.

Excellent

This is an excellent book with plenty of real-life stories to encourage you on your own fasting adventure!

Great insight to fasting,

Great insight to fasting, Dr. Fung very well written, Jimmy Moore rocks the narration. Will be checking out other books from Doctor

Great book

If you love Keto you must listen to this too. It's an amazing book. I loved it

Excellent info, listened at 1.5 speed

Loved the info! Narration was slow but well ennuciated so I went to 1.5 speed after two minutes. So much great information on fasting, everyone should read this that's ever eating food or been on a diet. Don't be dissuaded from this book by criticism of the narrator in reviews just speed it up, you'll be glad you did!

Lots of Info on Fasting

The book is filled with research supporting fasting and how that's better than caloric reduction. Also, It explains all the variations of fasting (one day, few days, intermittent, weekly, monthly, etc.). They should have had a female narrator for the female patient stories. It was strange hearing a male narrator talk about the patient's ovary problems.
