Goodreads is not really the place for diet book reviews (that would be Amazon), but I finished this book, so what the hell. (I even added the cover photo because it didn't have one!)
I read this book not because I need to diet but because I'm tired of people chastising me for not eating breakfast. For years I've managed my weight by skipping breakfast and not eating until lunchtime (noon or later); besides this, I eat normally and don't leave out entire food groups or deprive myself. This works for me, and I feel less hungry when I do this vs. when I do eat breakfast; the more I eat earlier in the day, in fact, the more I eat overall.
Apparently, there is research to back me up! Zinczenko (who's really good-looking and the former editor at Men's Health) writes about the myriad health benefits of intermitten fasting (IF), which is essentially not eating for long stretches of time and then limiting your eating to a shorter block of time.
The "diet" is simple: Eat for 8 hours (whatever you want, in whatever quantity you want, although he does focus on 8 "super foods" such as lean proteins, berries, greens, and whole grains) and then fast (except water and other non-calorie liquids, like black coffee and tea) for 16 hours. The 8-hour eating window can be done at any time that suits you (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; noon to 8 p.m., and so on), and, according to Zinczenko, the benefits of IF can be reaped even if someone does it only three or four times per week.
The majority of the book focuses on research that backs IF (and there's plenty); apparently, fasting allows our bodies to regenerate and burn off stored glycogen, which means we start to burn fat for energy sooner. We have evolved to eat LESS and not all day long, and IF is good not just for the waistline but also our heart, insulin levels, cholesterol, etc.
This book could easily have been a pamphlet, but there's no money in that, so Zinczenko includes long explanations about the super foods, a short FAQ section, recipes (nothing original here, although the recipes are healthy and seemingly simple to prepare), and an exercise section (he suggest working out at least 8 minutes per day - pretty gimmicky and clearly not adequate for most people). None of these sections add much to the book, but overall his writing style is engaging, and the book is an easy read, with some important information about IF (much of which can be found for free online).

Been using this plan, really common sense, for about 10 days and lost 5 pounds.
January 18, 2013
I usually don't trust new diet books .. but since the author is David Zinczenko I gave this one a shot .. the information is mind blowing .. I already felt an increase in my energy :-)

I thought this book would be really good, given that it's from David Zinczenko, but I didn't like it. IMO, it is never a good idea to tell people that they can eat as much as they want, for any reason.
Obviously people should have common sense, but not every human does. Telling some people to eat whatever they want, is like saying go to Burger King and eat every value meal they offer, as long it's in an 8-hour time block. Hmmm, I don't think they'll be loosing very much weight that way.
This book also doesn't account for some people's schedule. For instance, my mother gets up almost every day at 4:30 AM for work, her lunch break at work is at 11:00 AM, she eats dinner at 5:00 PM.
If she eats her breakfast at 4:30AM, and lunch at 11:00AM, she only has about one more hour to eat dinner, because her 8 hours would be ending at 12:30PM. That's a problem. Is she supposed to cram dinner in right after lunch, or skip dinner all together?
For her schedule, we decided on this plan: Eat breakfast at 9:00AM, lunch at 11:30AM, and dinner at the usual 5:00PM. This didn't fair well either, because she was nearly starved by breakfast time; at that point she'd already been up five hours without food! And then lunch was too close to breakfast. There was no way to make this plan work for her schedule.
I used to do a plan like this of my own making. I would basically fast all day, other than 1 hour. It worked, because typically, even the greediest person can't eat hoards of food in 1 hour, and even if you could, my plan limited a lot of the tasty stuff. I quit that plan because all it did was trigger cravings for anything good I had actually allowed in, and was going down the tubes anyway.
Bottom line is, people don't always read the book from page-to-page. All they see is eat whatever you want as long as it's in 8 hours, and off they go. They will not read about the super foods, or look at the healthier recipes. Just like Atkins, if you say a person can eat all the protein they want, that's all some hear. They don't pay attention to lean meats or low-fat dairy recipes inside the books.

Clear, concise, and doable. Frankly could have been written as a pamphlet. I've been following the plan which basically consists of fasting for 16 hours and then eating what you want during an eight hour period. I want to wait a few weeks to see how it plays out but so far I have lost some weight and it has been fairly easy.

I actually agree with this type of eating plan and have followed it most of my life. So, now I have something to say when people criticise me for being too lazy to wake up early enough to eat breakfast.
This sort of diet does work, but it's not exactly honest of this book to suggest that you can eat whatever you want in those 8 hours. If you spend 8 hours gorging on doughnuts, you're going to look like someone who eats doughnuts all day. Even if you eat your 8 magic foods, do your 8 minutes of exercise, and sleep 8 hours every night.
Speaking of which, this fixation with the number 8 is almost as annoying as the writing style of this book. It just seems goofy. I exercise a lot more than 8 minutes per day. Eight minutes into my workout, I'm barely warmed up.
The science cited in this book is a little opaque. The author claims that there is research to back his claims, but he doesn't cite it directly. He just insists that it's out there. He seems to conflate various forms of intermittent fasting though, so it's hard to know when he is talking about his own diet plan or another.
Overall, the book is okay. I would only recommend it if you're already inclined to skip breakfast and want tips on how to make that work as a weight-loss strategy. If you need to start your day with something a little more substantial than a cup of coffee, this diet isn't for you. You might enjoy some of the recipes though.

Interesting approach to weight loss. Contains extensive "scientific" basis for the concept of controlled fasting. Seems adaptable to many other diet plans. I did lose 6 pounds in 2 weeks; will continue to see how it works. The "eat what you want and as much as you want" quick ads for this don't do it justice; the heart of the diet is about eating healthy foods; exercising; but all within the context of an 8 hour window.

holy cow. it saddens me tremendously that although i consider myself a well-read, intelligent individual, i found myself nodding profusely, chapter by chapter, wondering why the hell i myself didn't put 2 and 2 together with regards to how the body works in reaction to the fuel we partake daily. every man, woman, and teenager who's ever taken both anatomy and physiology I and II shouldve been able to put this together after completion of those courses. shows how much "application" and "synthesis" we are really taught in school... however, i digress. biologically sound using science we've known for decades, this book will leave you undoubtedly with your mouth open in shock at the simplicity of the so-called "smart" choices we make daily which have led unfortunately to the decline if not outright destruction of the human body as a system. blinded by fad diets, bombarded with the smokescreen of profit mongers, and the changing face of our culture these days, it isn't any wonder our children are obese and the middle aged are suffering from everything from gastrointestinal diseases to neurodeficiences. what a damn eye opener. it'll make you appreciate the wonders of the human body, if not reclaim any once held belief that a higher presence does in fact know better as to how a human body should function. leave it to an "advanced" culture to fuck it up.

Backed up with testimonials and scientific studies, this book proposes the theory that it is not what one eats that matters, but rather when one eats. Also known as intermittent fasting, the author maintains it is best to eat whatever you please but only in an eight hour period during the day – e.g. noon to 8pm, 10am to 6pm, etc. There are eight specific power food groups that should be included in the diet, though as a vegan, I automatically eliminate meat and dairy anyway. The author also maintains that this diet can help one lose and/or maintain an optimal weight by only following the plan for three days per week.
As a life-long fan of breakfast I was initially resistant to this plan but find it has not been difficult to wait until later in the day to eat the same meal if I prefer having breakfast foods then. Recommended to fans of diet books and those looking for a different approach to eating.

I am working on a book challenge, and one of the requirements is to read a book I abandoned at a previous time. This was it. I read a lot of health and diet books because the information interests me. I bought this one when it first came out because it was getting a lot of buzz, and I have read other books by the author. There is some good information in here, but there is also quite a bit that reads like an infomercial.
As far as the program itself, I have followed it for a week, and without any effort, I have lost 1.8 pounds. I have been eating like crazy and am far from starving. And I honestly do feel pretty good. If you don't want to to diet but want to lose weight, this might be a good place to start.

September 30, 2013I didn't read this book so much a browse it for a few hours at the library. There are some really funny phrases in this book that made me smile while reading what could be a boring topic. Diabetes as the zombie apocalypse, inhuman screams from slapped cantaloupes, crying in your cottage cheese, it's the little things that make a book more enjoyable.
The concepts in this book were laid out pretty simply and there were helpful charts to distill some ideas (making browsing much easier). The recipes looked quick and yummy, the 100 tips to cut calories/curb cravings were good ideas, and the exercises with pictures helped make them easier to understand.

This had some solid principles, but the style of writing wasn't to my liking. It was written in this buzzy style that seemed to carry over from the magazines where the author worked. It seemed to really try to sound hip and in-your-face on a topic that doesn't need that treatment.

Interesting concept and had cited studies with regards to the data. Eight still seems like a gimmick though - eight foods "I ate my eight!", eight minutes of exercise, eight hours of eating (which still means 16 hours of fasting--not so easy--I'm surprised he didn't say to do this "eight days a week..." but instead states that even with a minimum of three days results can be had. I looked but did not see if the data showed a benefit with a 9 hour diet instead of 8 hours.
Other data (not discussed in this book) shows that the most successful long-term weight maintainers are those who eat a breakfast--with an eight hour diet, you do break the fast, but it feels unbalanced to me, to have a period of eating anything, as long as you get your eight superfoods, then have 16 hours of fasting. The fasting is not easy and I had headaches in the week I tried it and felt like I couldn't concentrate on my driving so well. I slept about the same, had a slight increase in weight, then went back to my usual weight. I didn't feel any difference in my level of energy. I did like the routine of sitting down with a cup of decaf coffee every morning, but I missed the social aspect of eating with my kids before they headed off to school. I felt like cramming in food at in the last hour of the feeding period because I found the last two hours of the fasting period so difficult. I felt out of kilter in my GI system most of the time because of the intermittent feeding/starvation cycles.
I liked the author's writing though as it had a dose of humor and it did have recent scientific studies quoted. I am just more skeptical of science when it comes to nutrition research and I'd want to read the original studies before recommending this alteration of meal timing to any of my clients longterm. The recipes looked good, but I did not try any. The super 8 foods are a great foundation or addition to any diet. I thought his examination of how the timing of the meals can fit in with other "diet plans" was interesting.

I can't say this miracle diet worked the wonders promised. I tried it for 3 weeks and got exactly nowhere, and though the author claims you need to follow it only 3 days a week, I was following it 6-7 days a week with no results. However, that said, the book includes some very good tips for healthy eating, curbing cravings, and general principles. I find that my weight-loss efforts are helped by compressing my eating into about 9 hours a day, but that's not all it takes for me. Granted, I'm 48 years old, so younger people might find it works better.
Here's what I've learned about weight loss, which is also true about mental health techniques: Nothing works for everyone. NOTHING. Metabolism, body type, habits, etc. all play a role, and you have to find the system that works for you and that you can maintain long term.

Got a cook-book of an LDS women who is a nurse and married to an ex BYU football player. She tells of her weight-loss journey and she accidentally discovered after 5 years of frustrating weight gain, that what worked for her was pretty much this diet. I read it and am interested and so am trying it. Previously I did a month straight & various random weeks/days of the Fast Metabolism diet - which I do think has improved my metabolism, but is a lot more complicated and expensive to follow.

The information is better than the book. The organization is good and the ideas to stick to the diet is helpful. I thought the benefits were over blown and over sold, I am 8 weeks in and I have more energy and feel amazing and my running and cardio have improved. I recommend the diet to everyone I know. I am currently down 8lbs and 4.5 percent body fat. If you try it stick to it for6 weeks before you decide. First week is rough, but after that is smooth sailing. Good luck!!!

Read the book and do some research before you look down on the book. If you diet healthfully you can and will lose weight. I gained some benefits from this book. I am sleeping better than I have in almost a year. I have more energy in the morning, do not need as much caffeine, I have more energy for my workouts, including cardio.
January 14, 2013
Very informative. Works well with my schedule. I will do a little more research, and watch my body rhythms do determine long-term effectiveness.
February 13, 2013
I like the ideas in this book. Good presentation of plan and evidence. Easy to follow.

The book actually said eat dairy to fight cancer. Read carefully and absorb with large grains of salt. A lot of defunct and discredited science.

I'm holding it hostage at three stars until I see if it works. :-/

Well, this is certainly not your average diet. I don't think it works as well as the author claims it does but I'm a picky eater so the likelihood that I'll ever say "I ate my 8" is slim to none. I also find that you cannot, in fact, only do it 3 days a week and lose weight. I've been doing this diet since, like, January and have only lost 4-5 pounds (depending on how my stomach feels in the morning). It's now May. So that's like...a pound a month. Better than nothing but not what I was expecting either. In all fairness, I'm slow to start, but in equal fairness a work placement for school had be doing A LOT of walking between February and April (i.e. extra exercise).
Anyway, the book itself reads like a tacky late-night infomercial which had me skeptical from day one. Given that this is the weight loss industry I image that might have been done on purpose. I did appreciate the author breaking down a lot of the science-y stuff into plain English though.
All in all, it's worth a try. Don't get over excited as this diet can be hard to fit into your life. Most people can't sit there and snack, or eat, at their desk (I certainly can't!) and shift work makes this diet difficult too. That doesn't mean that it WON'T work.
In summary:
-Get a good amount of sleep
-Skip breakfast (unless you go to bed early)
-Healthy Lunch
-Healthy snack
-Healthy dinner
-No more food until lunch tomorrow.

I have read a lot on the benefits of intermittent fasting and I was hoping this book would give me more scientific data on the topic. It does go into some at the start and I did enjoy the info on the neurological benefits. That is why I am giving it two stars. As for the diet part.....I am not a fan of diet books that contradict themselves. Tell you not to do one thing and then in another section saying its ok. I'm also not a fan of a "diet" book that tells you every few pages that's it's 100% okay to cheat. It almost felt like he encouraged it. Like somehow calories disappear when you only eat them in a window of time. I wish! Also, Zinczenko states that it's ok to have coffee with milk and sugar during fasting. That didn't sit well with me. And the whole 8 hours, 8 power foods, 8 minutes of exercise, and apparently the recipes even take 8 minutes to make! To me, it's trying too hard...
I just think if you are going to promote intermittent fasting and how beneficial it is for the body then you would want people to take advantage of that benefit and eat in a way that is clean, like not encourage eating sugar. But hey....maybe that's just me.

I know it’s a “diet” book but I’ve gotten really interested in this topic. It has many health benefits above losing weight including improved cognitive function lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol and fighting insulin resistance. I’ve been doing it for a week not eating till 1130 am then stopping at 730pm and I’ve lost three pounds this week.
No other things changed just ate lunch dinner and a few snacks. I will be interested to see how my medical stats change as well. Lots of research with Alzheimer’s as well. I will definitely be doing more reading on this.

buen libro que habla sobre el ayuno intermitente. explicaciones científicas bien detalladas, acerca de los beneficios de este tipo de ayuno.
aparte que tiene recetas con los alimentos saludables que citan los autores y una guía de ejercicios para realizar en 8 minutos.
me gustaría que haya más historias acerca de personas que practicaron este tipo de ayuno pero en líneas generales, es un excelente libro para iniciarse en la dieta 16:8 horas.

I liked the concept but not the presentation. This book was a quick and easy read, but it read like a crappy magazine article with lots of bold headlines and not enough actual detailed support. I also dislike the gimmicks of over-utilizing the bummer 8 as in 8 hour diet, 8 super foods, 8 minutes of exercise. I prefer more science and less showboating.

Every diet book shouts that it is amazing and new and the ONE that will work. So I don't expect miracles ;) Still, I picked this up at the library for a little more in-depth knowledge about Intermittent Fasting. Gleaned what I needed by skimming and turned it in a day later. If you aren't familiar with IF, though, it's a good book with solid information.

I am not a big self help reader and try to avoid it at all costs. My sister recommended this book and so I decided to give it a go. I really enjoyed it and the humor kept it light and fun. Learned a thing or two while I was at it!
