The Complete Guide to Intermittent Fasting provides the tools to help you feel confident, prepared and excited to start your intermittent fasting journey. What if you could follow an eating plan (not a diet) that helps you lose weight and burn body fat, improve your overall health—including cardiovascular, metabolic, insulin and blood sugar, brain function and anti-aging—while allowing you to eat your favorite foods most of the time? Intermittent fasting does all of that, which is why it’s now the fastest-growing eating lifestyle. Finally, we offer inspiration: stories of both “regular folks” and celebrities who swear by fasting, and an exploration of the way it can change your relationship with food and eating, and most importantly, let you look and feel your best.
