Publisher Description
Intermittent fasting is a quick way to drop weight if done correctly, however for long periods it can be dangerous. Early Christian monks, Christians, Buddhists, and followers of Islam have participated in intermittent fasting on a yearly basis. These religious people believe in this type of fasting to control their impulses. Brief periods of intermittent fasting allow the body to burn off excess calories utilizing stored foods as energy, thus causing waste to be expunged from the body. Yes, the body will poop, which is good, and it will remove any excess weight over time if done in short bursts. That is why this type of fasting can be beneficial to the body.

Horrible horribleness!
While this book makes a few good points, such as importance of sleep and moderation, the overall advice given in this book is generally garbage. Packing on protein, especially animal-derived protein, reduces human health & longevity. Read the China Study by Dr. Campbell. No other nutrition book is more extensive or comprehensive. You have to be selective in the foods you eat if you want sustainable weight loss & improve your health.
While IF has its benefits, the Feast & Famine Diet is too complicated; counting calories is complicated; absolute water-only IF for 12 to 24 hrs is much easier & gets you the same results as Feast & Famine. Moreover, any addiction, including addiction to stevia, is unhealthy!
This IF book by Gary Hatfield is a copy of the IF book by Stacie Williams. I'm not 100% sure who copied whom, but I believe Stacie Williams copied Gary Hatfield as there’s one reference in her text made from a male perspective (on track 7).
If you want an intro to the IF, the IF 101 by Peter Paulson or IF by Valerie Childs are a bit better options. However, you cannot eat processed foods and expect to be healthy! The actual foods you eat have more impact on your health than timing or calories. Read End of Dieting by Dr. Joel Fuhrman before you read/listen to any other diet book, including IF books. No other author explains sustainable weight-loss and impact of food on your health better!
