Take the guesswork (and fear) out of fasting with real-life and expert
advice
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.
But for many who are eager to try out fasting, the regimen can feel a
bit intimidating. After all, abstaining from food doesn't sound like
much fun. People rightly wonder: How often can I eat? Will I be able to
focus at work? Will I have enough energy to exercise? And perhaps the
most concerning question of all: Won't I be hungry all the time?!
Enter Dr. Jason Fung--world-renowned fasting expert--his colleague,
Megan Ramos, and Eve Mayer, who has experienced the life-changing
benefits of fasting through Dr. Fung's program. Together, they've teamed
up to write a one-of-a-kind guide that answers the most common questions
people have about fasting--and offers a customizable program that
provides real results.
In Life in the Fasting Lane, Dr. Fung, Ramos, and Mayer take the
reader by the hand and walk them through the basics of a fasting
lifestyle--from the science behind fasting as a health and weight loss
strategy to the real-life choices and dilemmas people commonly
encounter. While Dr. Fung and Ramos explain the fundamentals of fasting
and offer a customizable approach, Mayer shares her in-the-trenches
perspective and hard-won knowledge as a success story who turned her
life around with fasting.
With chapters that address everything from meal planning to mental
strategies; exercise to socializing, Life in the Fasting Lane is a
unique and accessible guide to developing a sustainable and beneficial
fasting routine that offers dramatic, lifelong results.
