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.

Breaking the Weight loss mystery.

This information is life changing. I recommend listening to the Obesity Code first. Dr Jason Fung with the clinical research at his clinic in Toronto Canada makes his books and videos very credible. I cannot recommend this strongly enough. I applied these truths (along with cellular Nrf2 pathway activation) and released 60 lbs. Just or maybe more importantly I know how to keep it off. I will never be heavy again and can enjoy life to its fullest. I believe with this knowledge we can break the cycle of obesity and at the same time reduce dependence on the pharmaceutical drug culture so prevalent today. 👍✔️

Life Changing, a Paradigm Shift in Thinking

This is a life changing book. it represents a Paradigm shift in the way I think about food and health and role of medication. it has shifted me completely out of pre diabetes onto a road to healthy living.

I do think the preview narration seemed a little off putting to me, Jimmy Moore the narrator and co author seemed a little stilted in the preview audio but he's completely fine during the rest of the audio book. in case anyone thought as I did about the preview audio.

Fasting made easy

There is so much we don’t understand about fasting. We have always been told it is bad, dangerous, impossible to incorporate into our daily lives...well, this book will demystify it all! It is an amazing read! You won’t regret it and your life, your health will be better for it.

There’s a very low buzz in the back

Title is interesting and the topic is well approached but there is very low key buzz in the back that bothers me a lot 😂

Mildly annoying but informational nonetheless

The book was well paced and we'll written for the most part, the biggest annoyances being the performance and constant almost overbearing "cut to xyz who says abc" example scheme.

The end of the book essentially read like an advertisement for his clinic in so so success stories.

Excellent! Except One Thing

Excellent narrating Jimmy! As usual, you’re very easy to listen to. The book content is great and very in depth just like the Obesity Code before it. I just wish the chapters had their titles to be able to go back and find information again easier.

A must for any Keto dieters

This book was VERY useful and informative. It answered so many questions, filling holes in knowledge and bringing up data I did t even know I needed.
I liked that it covered ALL aspects of fasting from intermittent, whicis all I've done, to 7 days and longer and how I can transition to whichever I decide is best.
I read the criticism about Jimmy's narration, but really, this is not a piece of fiction for entertain, so what are you listening to it for? I liked that he was honest and sincere and there was no judging on any aspects of how one conducts their life or diet. JUST FACTS!
