I read the book and was impressed with this basic information on intermittent fasting. I think the 24 hour fast would work for my lifestyle and I plan to start right away. I am not diabetic but my glucose levels are certainly headed in that direction. I am borderline pre hypertension and hoping this will also reduce my blood pressure. Thank you Dr. Jason Fung for your knowledge and expertise.

Excellent information about intermittent fast and extended fasting for weight management and many other health benefits. Highly valuable concrete knowledge for diabetic patients. This book has turned me into a convert! I’m actually doing an extended fast as I write this review. Thank you Dr. Fung and Jimmy Moore!

Excellent Book - very educational on how the body works during a fast and recommendations on how to do short-term and long-term fasts. I would strongly recommend it to anyone interested in IF.

This was a very good read. It helped me to understand fasting and how to incorporate it into everyday life. I would recommend reading before you start your fast.

I loved the fasting research and advice, but took a star off for the diet advice. He is right about eating low processed food, but misses the mark a bit. Look for info on the blue zones. These people aren't eating a lot of meat or fat daily. They also eat fruit, and low carb diets don't usually allow much fruit. Coconut oil is a processed food. Why not just eat the coconut? I think every person is unique and has different diet needs. I have tried LCHF, and feel a lot better with the Eat To Live diet (with a little salt added in), but my very thin family members lose too much weight on this diet. They still eat what I cook, but they need to eat other things I can't.

Fasting is a basic practice and this book covers that well. I am bit bias so I won't do a full review, but I have followed Dr. Fung for awhile now and his practices have benefited me. I just wanted to read the book to make sure I had all my bases covered.

I decided to read this book after having the sample in my Nook account for a couple of years. It gives lists of rich, relevant information about fasting without being overwhelming. I’ve decided to do a 30-day fast and am on Day 3. It seems that I am right on target and the book has relieved my anxiety about fasting. I definitely recommend for those who suffer metabolic disease or anyone who wants to know more about the benefits and and ins and outs of fasting.

This book help me understand fasting some more. I have high blood pressure and Gerd hoping to get off these meds. I’m going to try the 24hrs fast.

More like the incomplete guide to fasting. This book is not written for someone who truly wishes to undergo a fast. While Dr. Fung does an excellent job of presenting data and research history, it reads more like an argument for why fasting is a good idea rather than a guide on how to do it. It feels like he is justifying the legitimacy of his work to the medical community, which is great as a new view of this treatment is surely needed in western medicine, but it does nothing as a guide for users who wish to undergo a fast. It says nothing about how to prepare for a fast, what to expect on a fast and more importantly, how to break a fast. Anyone attempting a fast MUST know these things before they fast or else they risk harm to themselves; Dr. Fung, being a health professional should have considered that when he wrote the book. What they need is medical advice, not dozens of anecdotes by people who support the data. Save your money and do a few hours of research online instead. I found a lot more helpful information for practical use of fasting in a few hours of reading online than I did in this book.

This is an amazing book that puts it in easy to understand words on why it's so hard lose weight. Explains the myths behind "starvation mode" . If you have tried to lose weight and have failed, this book explains why. Reading this you will know it makes sense, against all the diet advice you have heard.
