Publisher's summary

Take the guesswork (and fear) out of fasting with real-life and expert advice.

In recent years, intermittent fasting - restricting calorie intake for a set number of hours or days - has become an increasingly popular diet strategy. While some in the medical community initially dismissed the idea as a dangerous fad, recent research not only validates the safety of fasting for weight loss but also offers compelling evidence of wide-ranging health benefits, from reversal of diabetes and other metabolic disorders to enhanced cognitive function and increased longevity.

But for many who are eager to try out fasting, the regimen can feel a bit intimidating. After all, abstaining from food doesn't sound like much fun. People rightly wonder: How often can I eat? Will I be able to focus at work? Will I have enough energy to exercise? And perhaps the most concerning question of all: Won't I be hungry all the time?!

Enter Dr. Jason Fung - world-renowned fasting expert - his colleague, Megan Ramos, and Eve Mayer, who has experienced the life-changing benefits of fasting through Dr. Fung's program. Together, they've teamed up to write a one-of-a-kind guide that answers the most common questions people have about fasting - and offers a customizable program that provides real results.

In Life in the Fasting Lane, Dr. Fung, Ramos, and Mayer take the listener by the hand and walk them through the basics of a fasting lifestyle - from the science behind fasting as a health and weight loss strategy to the real-life choices and dilemmas people commonly encounter. While Dr. Fung and Ramos explain the fundamentals of fasting and offer a customizable approach, Mayer shares her in-the-trenches perspective and hard-won knowledge as a success story who turned her life around with fasting.

With chapters that address everything from meal planning to mental strategies; exercise to socializing, Life in the Fasting Lane is a unique and accessible guide to developing a sustainable and beneficial fasting routine that offers dramatic, lifelong results.

A life changer

I started fasting Oct 2020. By Feb 2021 my A1c went from 11.7 to 5.6. I'm no longer on metformin or insulin. Fasting isn't difficult at all. I'm losing weight and feeling energized. Please consider this book when making your decision to start the fasting lifestyle.

A superb addition to your fasting research

10 out of 10. I loved this book. It's paced very well and I enjoyed experiencing it.

awesome! impactful!

Most informative and encouraging, priceless information. Thank you Jason Fung!!! Megan Ramos and Eve Mayer!

Best. Book. Ever.

I hope this book becomes viral bc it could potentially save so many lives. I plan to take excerpts from this book for my Correct Keto Online Coaching Program launching in late 2021/early 2022. Thank you for such an amazing resource!

Great book!

Have read all of Dr Fung’s books. I love the different perspectives in this book between the 3 authors. Very informative

Helpful and Informative

I love the easy to understand explanation of fasting. The science seems solid and Dr. Fung has a very trustworthy vibe. I highly recommend this book. As far as living in the Fasting Lane, well, I'm still a newbie so I can't vouch for that. What I can say is that listening to this audible book really improves my motivation and dedication to giving this plan my full efforts.

A very small disappointment was not with the book but with the narration. One author is from South Louisiana, but the narrator is obviously not. I feel strongly that a narrator should pronounce all the words correctly. I knew it was going to be a little issue when she said she grew up in "Tee bid oux" instead of "Tib id oux" and that they cooked "pray leans" instead of "prah leans". I know this is probably not noticed by 99.9 percent of the listeners, but I grew up 20 minutes from Thibodoux and mispronouncing the French names happens on national newscasts but should not happen in an Audible book.

That small issue aside, I love this book and can't wait to see if this works for me.

As always, great content.

I just love doctor Fang and everything that he has to say. I've been listening to dr. Fang and Megan's podcast for a long time.

Amazing

Love it. I truly believe everyone should read the book 🥰 amazingly written and recorded too

great book

I look having this on repeat while I focus on fasting. Keeps things in perspective.

health: life or death
