Balanced & realistic approach
Many—too many—books about weight loss are based on subjective reports of worth, ignoring potential health risks and objective, reliable scientific research. In contrast, this book is balanced and realistic, never saying “this is the only way to health” and including known risks of the varous intermittent fasting methods. The writer does not try to convert us; he simply adds to our ability to make an informed choices about our health.
This is an excellent overview, though it does not go into depth. For that, we need to consider our individual health situation and do more research on the issues the writer describes that may affect us.
5 stars ⭐️ for noting—repeatedly—the importance of our health, health disorders, and medical provider’s counsel in deciding if intermittent fasting is an option and if so, which method would be best. Though citations are not given, the writer does note applicable research findings. He honestly cites the creator of the Warrior method, who openly states its worth is subjectively based on his own military experience, that no objective research has been done. I especially appreciate the writer pointing out the health risks of ketoacidosis when he discusses the keto diet.
The writer describes the science-based theories intermittent fasting is based on in clear layman’s terms. It’s a great introduction. For those who want to know more, the medical terms he does use can be easily researched at nih.gov or other reliable medical sites.
The only weakness here is that no one book that I know of contains a complete summary of all the peer-reviewed, validated research on weight loss and building muscle. What is discussed here is only one piece of the human metabolic story.
The writer touches on, but does not clearly state, what I haved learned from my own review of the research on weight loss and metabolic systems: To lose weight and/or gain muscle, it is *not* solely a matter of what we eat (input) or how we exercise (output). There is also what I nickname “atput:” everything that happens within—“at”—our body. I suspect the impact of atput quite likely equals the combined impact of input and output. As intermittent fasting proposes positive changes to our “atput,” it is worth respectful consideration, when not contraindicated by an existing health condition. ~Jane H., RN, MSC
