Delay, Don't Deny: Living an Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle (edição 2016)

This review can also be found on my blog.

This is a really helpful primer if you're interested in intermittent fasting (IF). It mainly discusses using it for weight loss reasons, but does talk about other benefits as well. What I really liked was how Gin emphasized that this is actually a lifestyle change; any weight loss or benefits you experience WILL go away if you revert back to old habits completely. I liked that there wasn't any of this magic bullet BS a lot of other people will try to peddle. She also explained the biology behind how it all works and provided extensive sources, referring readers to other books so that she could give a summary without bogging this book down with technical details. I'm still a little skeptical of some aspects, but am definitely interested in trying it out and learning more! ( )

I didn't expect to get that much from this book, after reading The Obesity Code by Dr Jason Fung, but I was pleasantly surprised. It is good to hear from people who have benefited from what he prescribes. It has a very positive outlook that is refreshing. ( )
