Eat only when you are hungry (unless you are in a fasting period then he says to 'ride the wave' of hunger).įrom what I gathered the 24 hour intermittent fasting is how he is reducing your calories quite severely (as well is taking away your processed grain carbs, sugar and whatever else) as he seems have readers down to a 2-3 meal a day plan with 2-3 24 hour fasting periods plugged in there a week. Increase your fiber and drink your vinegar (yes you read that right). Resist processed grains (pasta is my kyptonite for carbs), moderate your protein, increase your good fat intake. Pure tea, pure coffee (okay, you're allowed unsweetened milk), home made broths, water and sparkling water seems to be his only acceptable drinks. While he says this he does make allowances for the occasional use of sugar, he tells you to stay away as much as possible and keep your intact under a certain number I already forget.and he says dark chocolate is not a terrible thing (thank god!).īlah blah blah, yada yada yada.stay away from sweetened drinks. He opts for pure maple syrup or honey, which I have read many other people argue against (unless it unaltered honey straight from the hive). He admits his solution is targeted primarily at reducing insulin levels and he sees no reason why you can't do a low card, low calorie solution mixed with intermittent fasting. Starts by talking about how obesity is becoming a huge problem that is leading to even more problems (diabetes and such) then transfers into the explanation of yoyo dieting with diets that aren't sustainable and a quick gloss over how getting weight off and keeping the weight of is a multifaceted problem. The first 35 pages of this book is mostly a general how-to guide for intermittent fasting for weight loss. I stumbled across this book when looking for books to study the thought pattern in regards to intermittent fasting and the general "positive" side to doing so. ⭐⭐ 2 Stars for meal plans - only bc those are never relevant to the way I eat
Honestly, for meal inspiration and recipes, I am most likely to go to Reddit and YouTube! In any case, I found only a handful of recipes I was interested in trying, until the final section which was focused on making bone broths and pho (!), which got me super excited.
and a couple gave me pause, as I wasn't confident that they were well tested. Then again newbie cooks really need comprehensive recipes. I suppose these recipes would be most appealing to folks that lean toward less adventurous eating or cooking, as they were extremely simple. So this cookbook might be valuable as a nice summary, since Library wait lists for the original book are crazy long.Īs a cookbook, this was mediocre at best. I would imagine the book The Obesity Code would be the more comprehensive version of this. As an overview for the various components that contribute to our weight and health, this was absolutely excellent.
