This book challenged a few things I have been lead to believe as being 'truths' for so many years. ie breakfast being essential, grazing being better than just eating 1 or 2 meals a day, etc. As for the fasting aspect, I am intrigued, if not totally sold on it, yet. I am still in the 'research phase' on that. As for the recipes and meal plan suggestions, I like that the author offers vegan options but there are just not enough in this book for vegans to bother with. I have found more by searching online, than looking through this book.
