The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Fasting

Reclaim Your Health by Rejecting the Bulk of Today's Diet Advice

By: Katherine Moulton

Narrated by: Jennifer Abbott-Woods

The Ultimate Beginners Guide to Fasting is exactly what the title says—everything you need to know to start fasting as a way to better health. Where other books cover the philosophical and fashionable aspects of fasting. The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Fasting covers the functional basics that allow the listener to understand what fasting can achieve, how fasting works, and how to undertake personal fasts safely.

Set against the shortcomings of the Standard American Diet, fasting is presented as a simple and functional method for addressing some of the negative effects of modern eating choices. Fasting is shown to be a safe, conventional, historically tested method that, when stripped of its more controversial claims, can be an effective way to retake control of one's personal health. Divorced of the populist claims, fasting is shown to be simple, enjoyable, even fun, and easily assimilable into a normal lifestyle.

Aimed at the first-timer, The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Fasting informs the listener of what they need to know to assess their diet by cutting through the overwhelming amount of dietary advice available—much of which is questionable. This book details how to prepare for the first fast, how to manage expectations, and how to track progress with a provided day-by-day planning guide. Fasting is presented as a long-term method that changes with the listener, and this book aims to set the listener on the right course from the start to avoid many of the common mistakes espoused by modern diet advice.

The Ultimate Beginners Guide to Fasting is based on extensive fasting experience over a broad cross-section of society. This experience is combined with accepted scientific research and is presented so that the listener can direct their own experience. Details and information are presented with practical use in mind, presenting methods that are straightforward, adaptable, and clear that can form the basis for further fasts that fit with the listener's lifestyle.

Fast your way to great health

I discovered several things regarding fasting that I had never known. He makes notice of the beverages that are acceptable during a prolonged fast. To maximize weight loss and reverse type 2 diabetes, a diet is even advised.

Informational

Facts and success stories abound in this book. The information on autophagy and the numerous other advantages of fasting is incredibly inspiring to me. I am the type of person who found it difficult to fast for a blood test, but thanks to the many health advantages of fasting, I can now fast for extended periods of time!

it works

Excellently informative and quick to listen through. Since listening to the book, I've lost 10 pounds, and I also fast once or twice a month for two to three days. I heartily endorse it.

I will suggest this book.....

This book differs from other self-help titles in that it doesn't claim quick fixes based on scant data and inadequate analysis. Instead, it derives from Katherine Moulton's years of successful weight-loss and frequently diabetic patient care, which combines old knowledge with the most recent scientific research. He is excellent at imparting wisdom and illuminating complex medical knowledge to laypeople. The graphics make it a simple listen.

Great resource!

It is preferable to certain books that are primarily made up of anecdotes to read this one because it explains the science behind the ideas behind the benefits of fasting. The book is filled with several captions from people sharing their own experiences, although these are only incidental to the primary topics of the chapter. A satisfying listen overall.
