Story
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.

Legendary magician Penn Jillette was approaching his 60th birthday. Topping 330 pounds and saddled with a systolic blood pressure reading over 200, he knew he was at a dangerous crossroads: If he wanted to see his small children grow up, he needed to change.

Outspoken, frank, and bitingly clever, Presto is an incisive, rollicking listen.

What if you could lose as much weight as you wanted WITHOUT spending money on pills, powders, weird diet food, or even exercise? The Code Red Revolution is all about taking your life back by eating real food and giving your body what it needs—water, high-quality nutrition, and plenty of sleep. Maintaining a healthy weight doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, when you keep it simple and just follow a few basic rules, the weight comes off naturally (even if you have health challenges). Most weight-loss books and plans teach you one magical way to lose weight, but they don’t take into account just how wonderfully individual we all are. This book shows you how to integrate the simple-but-effective program recommendations into your daily life.

From 2003, they ate their way through a decade plagued by massive weight gain until 2014, at which point they topped out at well over 500 pounds combined. First, Ryan began a weight-loss effort, then Kim followed suit, eventually leading them both to intermittent fasting. The journey transformed not only their relationship with food but with themselves and with each other.

The perfect motivation you need!
It is a journey you're taking listening to this audio book. The same journey Dr. Nick had to go through to change his looks, his health condition and his life. The tape has information about different diets and ways to lose weight, ways to help you on your way to your weight loss journey. But I think the most important thing about this tape is that it motivates you like no other source I've ever came across.

Inspiring! Great journey of weight loss...
Whether or not you have had luck with weight loss I would highly recommend this book. It is not full of gimmicks or trying to sell you something. It is just a great story of Dr. Nick's weight loss and what worked for him. The content seems to make sense from beginning to end. I especially like the narration because he is talking to you like a friend.

Pfft
The story of Nick's (or DR Nick as he absurdly refers to himself at restaurants and on his t-shirts - big deal, he's a doctor) liquid diet weight loss was interesting. The majority of the book is filled with bland and not that motivational advice for losing weight. Nick is obviously a bit of a narcissist. I lost count of the number of times he talked about how media and fat people everywhere are interested in interviewing/emailing with/being inspired by him. At one point, he asked whether he might be addicted to the attention. You think? His advice is often overly simple and not particularly useful. To the question of how can you afford to work out 1-2 hours, 7 days a week, he offers "How can you not afford to do it?" To the question of how one can decide not to leave your job and focus on weight loss, he offers, again, "How can you not afford to do it?" His more specific advice isn't very new or innovative: cut down calories, limit carbs, work out, etc. In the end, this book is about Dr. Nick, and the advice part is really just window dressing.

Inspiring but of limited value
I found Nick Yphantides' personal story about how he lost weight both interesting and inspiring. However, how he lost his weight is not really all that applicable to people who live in the real world. Nick took time off from his job as a doctor to travel around the US in a camper van going from one baseball game to another (his passion). During this time he drank only protein shakes and despite the tempation of hot dogs and burgers at the baseball stadiums, he never cheated or waivered in his resolve to lose the weight. He was incredibly disciplined and focused, helped no doubt by the fact that he was doing something that he was very passionate about (ie watching baseball games) and he had support in the forms of friends and family who would join him at various stages of his trip. Whilst this all makes for an interesting story, it doesn't make for a helpful weight loss strategy because:
- not everyone can take time off from their busy stressful lives in order to go off and do something else (bills still need to be paid!)
- not everyone has the discipline to live off protein shakes until the weight has come off (I can't remember exactly how many calories Nick was eating but this was definitely a low calorie diet, under 1000 cals a day for sure)
- not everyone has the support network in place to help them shed the weight
I absolutely admire Nick for having achieved what he has, but I note that his story ends with him now living on a primarily protein rich and therefore limited diet. I felt a bit sad upon the conclusion of Nick's story because he's clearly had to trade most of the food he used to enjoy for the pleasure of being in a fit healthy body. I just wish there was a way of having it all !! But if Nick's story has taught me anything it's that will power and self-discipline are still necessary for weight loss and, sadly, most dieters are in short supply of both

What if you could lose as much weight as you wanted WITHOUT spending money on pills, powders, weird diet food, or even exercise?

Most weight-loss books and plans teach you one magical way to lose weight, but they don’t take into account just how wonderfully individual we all are. This book shows you how to integrate the simple-but-effective program recommendations into your daily life.
