As someone who has done Intermittent fasting before, this book appealed to me as a refresher and added bonus of it also being a cookbook! However, the recipes were not exactly things I would eat personally, and the information contained was basically all beginner information that I remembered.

This is a great book to start with if you're new to intermittent fasting. The recipes are helpful as well. Overall, the information seems solid and up to date. I did not learn anything new though, but the recipe and diet suggestions were helpful.

I don’t do intermittent fasting, but after reading this book, I have a new opinion of it. It’s something that I actually feel like I could try! This cookbook is great for someone who doesn’t know much about the lifestyle and wants to know more. It includes information about how to do it, and different styles of it. The recipes are also easy to follow, and there are a good mix of them! As someone who doesn’t practice intermittent fasting, I would actually still buy this book for the recipes alone. It would also be a great gift for someone who is health conscious or practices fasting.

I've briefly tried intermittent fasting before, and saw some results. However, I still didn't eat well and then life got in the way and I lost my focus. I loved Dr. Becky's book as she gave great information to help me get back on track. She has personal anecdotes and scientific information to explain the effectiveness of intermittent fasting. I really liked how she wrote this book for the everyday person and it is easy to understand.

Great guide with helpful understanding. It really helps to read a book about dieting and/or eating when you trust the author is giving you accurate information. Becky Gillaspy is that author . . . Loved the book and love the author!!

4.5 stars

Intermittent Fasting Diet Guide and Cookbook has so much good information -PLUS- a whole extra section of a cookbook!

This is a seriously great resource for anyone looking into intermittent fasting!!! I have been doing intermittent fasting for over 3 years now and I still learned some things from this book. (I may have gotten a bit lax with my morning coffee and my *slash* of creamer). Plus, I just started a weight lifting routine again and wanted to know the author's take on muscle gain during a fasted vs. nonfasted state.

I do with the author gave a bit more about how women who find themselves to be fairly hormonally sensitive may need to very slowly integrate into the intermittent fasting lifestyle but... that's just me.

I seriously think intermittent fasting is one of the easiest and best lifestyle changes you can make with such vast rewards to your health, weight, and overall wellness. I love how the author also provided meal examples and RECIPES!

I absolutely recommend this for anyone looking at investing a small amount of food lifestyle changes for massive health gains.

This book had me curious. I have heard about fasting and was curious on how to go about it. It was very helpful and it explained so much. The recipes with pictures were very easy and I may even try a few. This book would be very good for someone who wants to go on the fasting journey.

It’s never too early to think about your New Year’s resolutions! If you have, like me, avoided intermittent fasting as a diet method because of long days at the office with extreme commute times, fasting is the perfect way to benefit from working from home (wfh). The Intermittent Fasting Diet Guide and Cookbook makes it easy to begin.

For most of us, the 19 in COVID-19 is not just the year, it is also the minimum weight gained during the pandemic. In fact, personally, I’m embarrassed to admit, it has been more like COVID-39 for me.

The Intermittent Fasting Diet Guide and Cookbook contains all you need to know to start your fasting diet journey. There is a great explanation of how fasting works, the different fasting methods, and how to select the method that will work the best for you. Next up, are meal plans and recipes.

Who doesn’t want to be more healthy, have higher energy, lose some weight and get better rest? Following your personal plan created within the Intermittent Fasting Diet Guide and Cookbook can provide you all those benefits. 2020 is horrible. But I vow to improve in 2021! I personally am going to start out slowly by just shrinking my eating period (16:8) first with no change in diet other than skipping breakfast. Then, when I plateau, I’ll start one of diets explained in the book. There are four diets: low-carb, keto, dairy-free, and vegetarian. Selecting which one works for you is part of the fun of reading the book.

Overall, if you want to feel healthier, have more energy, and, most importantly, fit into your work clothes when wfh ends, read this book! 5 stars!

Thanks to DK and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Author Becky Gillaspy has written the most easy-to-understand and implement book yet for anyone interested in Intermittent Fasting. I have reviewed quite a few and they range in tone and content from the seriously scientific Jason Fung to the less-so Eve Mayer, but INTERMITTENT FASTING DIET GUIDE AND COOKBOOK manages to bring everything together in an easily understood manner for readers whose interests transcend single issues. Many readers are eager to improve their health, avert diabetes and lose weight but aren’t certain how to start this process and whether it belongs with/without a balanced eating plan. Or if a reader already adheres to a keto plan, or low carb eating, does intermittent fasting offer anything of value to them? Gillaspy addresses these issues in detail and offers options on seeing how IF might fit into anyone’s lifestyle. I wish I had read this book 6 months ago when I was searching for my own answers. It is extraordinarily helpful. I strongly recommend it. I received my copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

My thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is yet another excellent guide on how to commit to intermitent fasting. What I liked about this book: intermittent fasting is not for everyone. Pregnant women, growing children and people with health issues should not be attempting this diet.

I was hoping that the author would offer alternatives for those of us who have nut and dairy sensitivities, but once again I find that this, as well as several other intermittent fasting diet books that I have recently read and reviewed, are targetted at people who are otherwise healthy and who can avail themselves of all the food groups. However, I persevered and can highly recommend this very detailed and informative guide.
The writing is clear and uncluttered, and the few complex medical terms used here and there are immediately explained or defined. Dr. Becky offers four versions of intermittent fasting techniques, and explains how each version works, even going so far as to providing a "worksheet" for each technique.

Intermittent fasting is not for me, alas, but it is definitely possible if you follow the many guidelines, worksheets, and suggestions in this very well written, easy to read book. Highly recommended.

Easy to follow guide to Intermittent Fasting (IF). I was intrigued by IF for awhile now and this is a very good book to start you on the right path. The author explains things in a very easy to comprehend way. There are even meal plans and recipes to help get you started on whichever plan you choose. After reading through the book (some sections more than once) I was able to jump in and start very quickly. I really liked the testimonials throughout the book as well.

Dr. Becky Gillaspy introduces the readers to the science of fasting and how to incorporate diets into the lifestyle such as dairy free, vegetarian, keto or low carb. It's a great book to help transition into fasting easily.

Lots of great information and recipes for people who would like to try intermittent fasting. I will definitely use some of the recipes myself.

This is probably the best book to get if you are new to intermittent fasting. Now, I have tried intermittent fasting before, but read this book before I started it up this time around and learned a whole lot more about it. I realized what I was doing wrong the last time I tried this diet where I had not gotten the results that I have gotten now. I decided to use the 16:8 fasting plan for my diet on a daily basis. I start eating around 11 am and stop eating around 7 pm. I am currently breastfeeding so I didn't want to go too long without getting calories to help feed my baby, and this was the best plan to go with. I do it every day, including weekends and I think that's the key. I think the only thing I wished to see more in this book was pictures with recipes, and more recipes in general! Otherwise, I learned quite a lot reading this book.

This is one of the best books on the science behind intermittent fasting. It is especially useful for the sections explaining the physical effect of fasting, for example explaining both what cholesterol is and how it is used in the body, as well as how IF impacts cholesterol production and use in the body. It is especially good for visual learning, as the graphs, tables, and other graphics are simple, clear, and easy to comprehend.

I got this book because I was interested in reading more about intermittent fasting after reading about this in a fertility app. There are a lot of nice information and then there are recipes at the end. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

This is an excellent guide on intermittent fasting. I like the breakdowns of the different types of fasting. Fasting isn't just a one size fits all option and there are many different routes to fit into your lifestyle.I also liked that the meal plan included various diets (low carb, keto, dairy free, vegetarian) making it easy for most people to get started without feeling overwhelmed. Most of the recipes sounded like meals I would eat so I think the author did a great job at varying the options available and making healthy food sound appealing. Intermittent Fasting Diet Guide + Cookbook is a great place to start on your intermittent fasting journey.

I’ve done a little fasting while on Keto and this book caught my interest. What one person calls fasting may be different than what another person considers fasting, and that’s because there are different ways types of fasting that vary by the length of time you fast.

If you are interested in fasting, or exploring different means of fasting, this is a great book to get you started or move you along. Meal plans and recipes included, though that has never been a problem for me.

I have been curious about this lifestyle as I have a few friends whose lives and bodies have been utterly transformed by IF.

This book offered very clear explanations, supported by research, for why intermittent fasting is a healthy way to eat and and an effective way to shed pounds if needed.

I learned quite a bit about the way my metabolism works and would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a lifestyle change.

Thank you to the publisher for providing me with an Advanced Review Copy. It was my pleasure to write an honest review.

Thank you to the publisher for an advance copy of this book!

Anybody interested in IF should definitely read this book! It is very fulsome for you to make the right decision about which iF to undertake and very thoroughly explains how to go about it. It even gives you different meal plans for whichever diet you might be pursuing (vegetarian, keto, etc). Love that part. This makes this book appealing to everyone. And the recipes at looks so yummy! Great advice!
