The Complete Guide to Fasting
by Jason Fung and Jimmy Moore
A practical manual for intermittent, alternate-day and extended fasting: protocols, what to expect, who should not fast, and troubleshooting, with Fung's insulin rationale. It is the most practical fasting book; the medical caveats should be taken seriously and anyone on medication should consult a physician first.
Read it if…
you have decided to try fasting and want a practical manual.
Skip it if…
you have diabetes, are pregnant or have an eating-disorder history without medical supervision.
Three things you will actually use
- Start short; extend only with experience.
- Hydrate and salt during fasts.
- Fasting is a tool, not a personality.
Do this first
Start with a sixteen-hour overnight fast, not an extended one.
Our verdict
