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.

informative, but robotic and redundant

Great resource for fasting, but robotic​ delivery and redundant warnings for diabetics and their possible need for medication dosage adjustment (I get the need, but...) gets this a 4 star.

Awesome Information

Great methods to experiment with fasting. Provides a lot of science to debunk a lot of myths about eating every 2-3 hours, which is completely ridiculous if you are trying to lose weight and/or get healthy.

introduction into intermitting fasting

this audio book is suitable if you want to be introduced to intermitting fasting and understand the thoery behind it.
Although many reviewers critisized the narrator style, I found it normal. Bottom line, i highly recommend this book if you are seriously thinking about fasting.

Material fantastic, reader horrible

For someone undergoing the subject matter it gave me a ton of information and inspiration.However, I almost stopped listening dozens of times because the narrator was so full of himself that it made the material hard to pick out of his egotism. I understand he is a co-author but all his personal angst did not lend itself to this being such important information for someone wanting to understand the technique and importance of fasting in weight loss and the reversing of diabetes. I would like to review sections of the book but fear I would just get irritated again so I may have to purchase the book and read it without the annoyance factor. Dr. Fung, please re-record this with someone else!
