Review: Fast. Feast. Repeat. What a great read! I've read Gin's first book, Delay Don't Deny, and enjoyed it as well! It wasn't terribly science filled, but was based on good info; I just really get a lot from the sciencey bits. Then I rolled into Dr. Jason Fung's The Obesity Code, The Diabetes Code, and The Complete Guide To Fasting.I was a happy camper and fully armed with my arsenal of fasting info! I'm an RN and I love the science. I haven't felt compelled to read much more outside of online research articles. I have been successfully IFing for almost 2 years. But we were coming up on our beach vacation and I love a good book for beach reading.I can't say how much I love this book. It really took a lot of Dr. Fung's science into account and broke it down to layman's understanding. Its straightforward and thorough. All the basic questions are here and answered. The harder questions down the road are even answered or at least addressed. It is so well written, fun, and personable. Who else feels like Gin is a friend? 🙋🏼‍♀️I will always still heavy push reading Dr. Fung's books and not to mention his online info; totally free because he's a saint of a doctor that really cares about helping people. But I can't say how invaluable Gin's books have been.I don't want to fly through a book, but when its about self improvement, I want to get through it pretty briskly! I read on this off and on for about 3-5 days. If you read really steadily, you could do it in 1 or 2 easily! It's a good resource to look back on. It is wonderful for those starting out and it's a good source of info/refresher for the veteran IFer! I didn't need encouragement that I COULD fast, but if I did, this book gives it to you!Delay Don't Deny is an even quicker read, I believe I knocked it out in a day; and if you want super fast and to dive right in, it might be a good starting place. But Fast, Feast, Repeat is just phenomenal. Everything is well sourced and the other book recommendations are great and super helpful! I think I'll get Mindset next!I have been stalling with my 105 lb total weight loss for about a year now, bouncing up and down in a 10 lb range; this gave me some insight and remotivated me to continue my efforts and that despite stalls, I am still doing my body good.Some feel Delay Don't Deny is encouraging a free for all food wise. While I think the first book could be seen that way by some, like Dr. Fung, I think it's more about encouraging compliance. Dr. Fung even says that fasting can be coupled with ANY diet and that fasting is as simple as not eating; not having specific dietary restrictions or goals can be very helpful for some. It's me! I'm some! Chronic middle child syndrome of, "You can't tell me what to do!" Having more freedom in my food choices, helps keep me on track with better eating and I do try for more low carb because of my insulin resistance from PCOS.Fast, Feast, Repeat does NOT encourage an eating free for all or permission to eat whatever you want. It encourages the reader to eat whatever diet is best for them and if what you're doing isn't working, that adjusting it can be a big help; whether that's keto, paleo, whole foods, etc.Also I would love to read a book collaborated by these two! I love their humor and writing styles!

Title: Fantastic Book! Well researched, AMAZING Healing Results
Review: I am a degreed nutritionist and health scientist and Gin Stephens presents the research so well, for anyone to understand. It's comprehensive and true to the studies, which is hard to find in 'nutrition' books, most of which manipulate research to manipulate us into fad diets that never work. I came interested in weight loss, but I no longer even care about losing weight, because Intermittent Fasting has alleviated chronic health issues I've had for over a decade. I no longer have Chronic Fatigue, but am filled with energy, life, and vitality. I feel better than I have my entire life! No brain fog, endless energy, food tastes better, metabolism is healing, I ditched the scale but a ton of inflammation and bloating in my body is gone, I'm sure I've lost weight, I no longer have aches and pains I used to get almost daily, and it's been just a few weeks!!! I noticed these changes within the first week! All my fatigue, body aches at end of day/with exertion/and brain fog were GONE in the first three days, for real! I often go from 6am to 10pm with no fatigue, in fact I've had to adjust to having so much energy, just 16:8 fasting.This book is a great comprehensive guide on why and how to practice Intermittent Fasting, in an intuitive way, without restricting carbs, and cutting out whole food groups. It will change the way you eat, over time, your cravings will change, and you will naturally eat more nutrient dense whole foods to feel good. Because you will feel so good, you will make food choices based on that, allowing more decadent foods in moderation. Fasting just naturally reprograms us for that.If you are a Christian, or not, I would add that God designed us for fasting. We are created to fast, and adding in prayer and bringing God into the process can have spectacular results. Sometimes I laugh when people are so amazed about fasting, because our Creator made us to fast...The early Church fasted 2/3 of the year, and Orthodox Christians still do! Many other traditions fast as well.God bless you and your healing journey with Intermittent Fasting. Just go for it! You've got nothing to lose and so much life to gain.

Title: Big game changer!
Review: Great book! I read Jason Fung FIRST and Gin Stephens is a natural progression if you want to expand on Fung's fasting approach. I'm pursuing this to lower my blood sugar which teeters on the diabetic range, (with my Dr's ok) and losing a few pounds is nice too! I read all Gin's books cover to cover and RE read nightly before bed! SO inspiring! I am only 30 days in and have already lost 7 lbs, which in the introductory phase is a bonus! I am loving the fasting now, which was difficult at first, but there is plenty of encouragement to be found in this book to keep going! Just pick it up and read! SO glad I stuck with it! A month in, and now the fasting part - CLEAN fast- is easy! Well, I DO miss my morning coffee with cream, but consider this a fair trade for the benefits. I DO get hungry, but I am learning the feeling passes and it's all good. I haven't been this excited about anything like this in a long time! I love how personable this book is! Gin is humble and wise and knows about doubts and pitfalls we may encounter and she addresses them in a way that is truly encouraging! Fun to trip down memory lane as she tells her own story about all the fad diets out there. She's tried 'em...me too! Who knew this wonderful solution could be so straightforward, so simple and yet so profound! The health benefits to intermittent fasting are many, and weight loss, as she says, is a nice little bonus! Everything you need to know to get on this path is right in the book. My blood sugar levels have dropped considerably, I'm happy to report! I'm looking forward to my next Dr. visit to compare my progress. Happy fasting!

Review: Experiential account of fasting and the science behind it. If you are diabetic this is a must read. If you are overweight, this is a must read. Tried every weight loss scheme on the planet to no avail. 12 weeks in and down 16 lbs. Never thought I could do intermittent fasting but Gin Stevens walks you through it. Best step you can take for your health is to buy and read this book. Money well spent. It is easier then you might think, no calorie counting and super flexible.

Review: I loved this book. I read a comment about someone saying that everything in this book is "simply obvious", but honestly, for me it wasn't. It was really an eye opener, I learnt about the science behind Intermitent Fasting so I could understand better what happens in my body when I fast, I changed some of my habits, there is also a chapter about how IF helps with apetite correction and how you can make most of it. This isn't something you should follow as she says, she encourages you to choose your own program and what feels best for you. I'm in love with this book, right now I'm reading it for the second time this month and still learning new things. I know this sounds like a paid ad but it isn't lol, i'm just happy about my results.

Review: Read this book. You will not regret it. I read it in one sitting and started fasting immediately thereafter. I have not missed a days fasting since - in 5 months despite living my life to the full and have lost 42lb in that time. It has literally changed my life.You can really resonate with Gin. The way the book has been written is fantastic and easy to read, not too sciency - there are other books out there that get into the nitty gritty of this. But this is an easy read guaranteed to start you on your journey to a better, healthier and happier you!

Review: Das Buch ist ein Do-it-yourself-Ratgeber zum Thema Intervallfasten und erklärt alle bekannten Fastenansätze (16:8, 5:2, OMAD und ADF). Die Autorin selbst hat jahrzehntelang erfolglos mit Diäten gegen ihr Übergewicht gekämpft und 2014 dank IF 80 Pfund verloren. Diesen Gewichtsverlust hält sie bis zum heutigen Tag, wie man ihrem Podcast, den Fasting Stories, sowie zahlreichen Interviews und Fotos entnehmen kann. Als ehemalige Grundschullehrerin besitzt Gin Stephens die Gabe komplexe Vorgänge gut verständlich rüber zu bringen und auch einen gewißen Entertainment-Faktor nicht zu vernachlässigen - so ist der Ratgeber eine kurzweilige Lektüre, die sich flott liest. Sie hat davor bereits andere Bücher zum Thema Fasten geschrieben, ich persönlich kenne nur ihren Bestseller und finde ihn völlig ausreichend, um sich zu informieren.Für mich war das Buch eine große Motivationshilfe, besonders in der körperlichen „adjustment-phase“, in der man verstärkt mit Hunger zu kämpfen hat. Mittlerweile habe ich eine gut funktionierende Fasten-Routine etabliert und betrachte fasten nicht mehr als Diät-Maßnahme, um Gewicht zu verlieren, sondern als langfristige Lebensstiländerung. Das habe ich auch Gin Stephens, ihrem Know-How und der Fasten-Community zu verdanken, die sie maßgeblich mit aufgebaut hat und bis heute prägt.So absurd es klingt, Fasten erlaubt mir endlich Freiheit im Umgang mit Essen. Es gibt keine verbotenen Lebensmittel mehr und ich zähle weder Kalorien, noch Makronährstoffe. Ich praktiziere überwiegend OMAD (21:3), da mein Körper sehr gut darauf klar kommt. Das Schöne am fasten ist aber auch, dass man es jederzeit flexibel an wechselnde Lebensumstände und Ziele anpassen kann. Gin nennt hier gute Beispiele, wie man unterschiedliche Fastenprotokolle als Tools einsetzen kann. Hauptsache man bleibt am Ball, denn consistency is key.
