Best weight loss book I’ve ever read.

I’ve read and tried pretty much every weight loss and diet method or book ever. I’ve lost some weight on all of them and generally gained back what I lost and more. I’ve been gaining weight steadily year over year.

In April of 2019 I discovered Delay, Don’t Deny by Gin Stephens and it absolutely changed my life. I don’t diet anymore. I just follow the simple lifestyle of Intermittent Fasting and I’ve been able to lose almost 30 pounds. I’ve even kept it off during times of plateau.

I dropped at least 1 pant size.

Gin explains the science behind Intermittent Fasting so beautifully that it makes sense.

You will not regret buying this book. Follow Gin’s simple advice and IF will work for you too.

Excellent listen for *anyone interested in Health

I highly recommend, and enjoyed, this book. First off, if you are 'new' to IF or wondering about it, please, please do yourself a favor and just do it. This book, and several others, are God sends. I changed my entire life by starting IF. I did Atkins, Keto, allll the "diets" and every one failed me and were simply too difficult to maintain, long term. I will IF for the rest of my life, no questions asked. My husband, who had no weight to lose, also does it due to the enormous health benefits.
I believe that learning about this has changed our lives for the better, and it is not about dieting.
I have lost over 60 lbs and for the first time in my life, and in my 50's, feel truly in control of my weight and my health.
I am actually Angry that this information was not available to me earlier in life and I had struggled for YEARS due to all of the (government supported) misinformation about how to eat. It is Shameful how out-of-date health information is and that doctors are not required to know how food, and fasting, can change your body and health 100%. It's ridiculous. Pill pushers. :(
I am now *off my thyroid medication as well as my Type 2 D. metformin. All due to this new, very simple, very powerful, knowledge.
Now for the book itself. I quite enjoyed it and also got her other one. I like the conversational and down to earth tone of the book, it felt like a friend was talking to me and is not as technical as some of the others on the market (you should still get those, knowledge is power, and this is your Life we are talking about!).
I started small with fasts, only skipping a meal a day, and now I can fast up to 2 days with nearly no effort or discomfort, which I do every week. It's like a muscle, I got stronger at it with time and practice.
My weight is at its best and in my 50's I literally have a bikini ready body, while I had been over 200 lbs most of my life! While I was always on "diets", exercising so much without losing weight, not understanding WHY my body was broken. It wasn't!!
The system is broken. Only you can fix you, no pills, no diets, no doctors. I can't tell you how many times I broke down and how desperately I would have done anything to be thin and healthy, and the Whole time this simple answer was being kept from me.
Get the book. You have nothing to lose but baggage, weight, and your helplessness. It is SO worth it, and so are you. Good luck!

Fantastic

This was a wonderful read. Gin's information is simple to understand and implement and the tone of the book is light and enjoyable. I was worried at first that it wouldn't talk enough about the science, but it included just the right amount, with plenty of resources to go to if I want to find out more. (In truth, I've already read several of the other books she mentioned, but this brought all of the concepts together neatly.) The best news? I made one simple change after starting this book three days ago--switching to black coffee in the mornings--and I've already lost weight. So this works.

A constant contradiction

She says she did one thing but then admits to doing another. She ate one meal per day is the summary. There I saved you hours.

Save your money

You can learn as much about intermittent fasting by watching doctors and nutritionists on YouTube.

Thank You

When I was a young adult I ate mainly one meal a day. I never had a weight issue.and felt great. After having 4 children I gained weight probably 15 lbs. I joined weight watchers with some girlfriends and bought into the fat free and sugar free craze. initially losing the weight. I followed that way of cooking and eating for several year and my entire family put on weight. The more I dieted the larger I got. I have tried many of the popular diets since. The best I felt was on keto but didnt lose much weight. it amazes me that I rarely felt hungry, Sometimes the abundance of fat was a bit much on my stomach and I hate giving up carbs as well. My brain kept telling me all of this fat cannot be good. I am currently around 160 lbs am 5' 5' and 57 years old.
I often eat one meal a day and have been criticized for it on numerous occasions. it is relieving to hear that I am not alone in feeling my best when I am not eating 3 meals or snacking. I will have to cut out the flavoured soda water and occasional diet soda and cream in my coffee. i know I can do this. For me the big issue is wondering about what is the right plan for me, one that feels right and fits in with my family. my. husband wouldnt skip a medley unless he is sick. he eats out of habit and I believe because his body is conditioned to 3 meals a day.
I plan to join the FB group and hopefully it won't take me to many days to get into the groove of OMAD.

Great tips on fasting

Learned about fasting. Very helpful read. Very good narration. Would recommend this book for better health.

excellent book

Even though I've been exposed to IF for a few years, I found Gin to be very inspiring and a terrific narrator. I recommend this book highly.

Short, sweet and informative!

This book was a straight to the point, fast and easy read! This will teach you everything you need to know about how to practically intermittent fast. Gin is funny, informative and a straight shooter. Now currently listening to her second book which I am loving even more!
