NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "Dr. Will Cole clearly cares about his
patients' health, and he addresses the widespread misconceptions about
intermittent fasting while giving readers a tailored week-by-week plan
to get back in touch with what their body truly needs."--Mark Hyman, MD,
director, the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine and author
of Food
"Intuitive Fasting makes both the science and user-friendly
application of this exciting approach to human nutrition available for
everyone."--David Perlmutter, MD, FACN, author of Grain Brain and
Brain Wash
The most effective and achievable guide to intermittent fasting,
outlining a unique plan that merges the science behind fasting with a
holistic approach to eating, from the bestselling author of Ketotarian
and The Inflammation Spectrum
For some, the idea of fasting by eating only one or two meals a day
sounds like an extreme and overly restrictive dieting tactic. But the
truth is, our daily eating schedule--three meals a day, plus
snacks--does not necessarily reflect our bodies' natural cycles. In
fact, eating three meals every day can cause metabolic inflexibility,
which can lead to inflammation, fatigue, and chronic health problems.
For millions of years, our bodies have actually functioned best with
periodic times of fasting.
With his fresh new approach to fasting, bestselling author and
functional medicine expert Dr. Will Cole gives you the ability to take
control of your hunger and make intermittent fasting intuitive. You'll
get in touch with your instinctive eating patterns and become healthier
and more mindful about how and when you eat. Intuitive Fasting will
show you how to find metabolic flexibility--and once you've reached it,
you can trust your body to function at optimal capacity, whether you've
eaten six minutes ago or six hours ago.
During his 4-Week Flexible Fasting Plan, Dr. Cole will guide you through
varying intermittent fasting windows, with each week of the plan
tailored to focus on a different aspect of your health. He illustrates
the most effective ways to fast and eat to amplify the health benefits
of intermittent fasting, balancing rest and repair with clean,
nutrient-dense, delicious foods. By the end of the four weeks, you will
have all the tools necessary to:
- Reset your body
- Recharge your metabolism
- Renew your cells
- Rebalance your hormones
Along with more than 65 recipes, you'll also find a maintenance plan, so
you can adapt fasting and feeding windows to work sustainably with your
lifestyle.
