About this listen
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.

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.

It makes clear the vital misconceptions in how we've come to think about obesity and diet (no, people do not become fat simply because they eat too much; hormones play the critical role) and uses the collected clinical experience of the medical community to provide essential practical advice.

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.

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!
