I’ve read so much about intermittent fasting so I thought I would give it a try but was having a hard time getting through all of the information, sometimes contradicting, that was available on the internet. This book tells you everything, breaks down why to do it, why it works, and how to start. I found it easy to get started and exactly what to avoid so it would actually work for me. This is a great guide to get going and get results.

This book is a very accessible guide to intermittent fasting, and gives the reader useful and easy ways to make fasting a part of life. Anyone who has thought they might like to try this dieting style would be able to successfully do so after reading this book. Excellent resource!!

Intermittent Fasting Made Easy by Thomas DeLauer

A very good title for anyone about to enter the world of intermittent fasting or for those who need further guidance. Great tips and ideas to get you back on track.

A Thorough Guide to Best Practices........

There have been lots of popular articles about intermittent fasting; certainly enough to give an interested person a basic sense of the practice. This book does an excellent job of going that extra further mile, laying out the science behind intermittent fasting and providing guidance on how best to approach and engage with fasting.


After a congenial and upbeat, (and remarkably nonjudgmental), introduction the heart of the book addresses the key stages of intermittent fasting - the fasting window (length), prefast eating, breaking the fast, and the eating window. Everything is very straightforward and eminently sensible.


There are very helpful suggestions about what to eat just before and immediately after fasting, but the book doesn't have eating plans or recipes or the sorts of food chapters you usually find in a diet book. This is not, practically speaking, a diet book; it's an eating schedule book with tips about how to stay on schedule.


There is a lot of information and advice about supplements, which I skimmed over since I'm not a supplement fan. If you are, the discussion of which supplements aid and which supplements obstruct progress may be very helpful. There's also an attempt to frame fasting within the bounds of some other diet the reader may be on while eating, (keto, paleo, Mediterranean, and so on). That was a helpful and unexpected angle. (For example fasting and a keto diet are two distinct approaches to a similar end, and melding them is an interesting idea.)


So, bottom line? An excellent introduction and probably all you would need to start a successful fasting practice. The hacks and "supercharging" tips might be a bridge too far for some, but are certainly worth thinking about. A nice and thoughtfully, (and cheerfully), presented guide.


(Please note that I received a free advance ecopy of this book without a review requirement, or any influence regarding review content should I choose to post a review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)

I've been doing intermittent fasting for a while and found it works really well for me. This book has all the questions/answers your going to need starting your journey and throughout. Many other intermittent fasting books I have found focus of recipes however this is like the A to Z guide I can just refer to when I have questions or want to mix it up. I wish I had of found this at the start of my journey, it would of saved lots of Google searches looking for answers but so glad I have it now. I will definitely be purchasing a physical copy for easy referencing.

N.B Thank you to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to review this book.

As someone who does intermittent fasting daily, this book is such a breath of fresh air! This book was a reminder that you have to do what’s best for you and have such good advice and insights to any one at any stage of their intermittent fasting journey! I will definitely recommend this book to everyone who is interested in intermittent fasting!

This book explains so much about intermittent fasting, it makes it seem easy (which it is), and it made a lot of sense to me. It was interesting reading the author’s back story, from when he started, how he adjusted, and seeing where he is now. Some great strategies, lots of mindfulness, and always practical. You do what fits you. You know your body and mind. No one else, per Thomas DeLauer. I’ve been doing my own version of intermittent fasting for over a year now, and I’ve been unclear about certain aspects, I’m happy to say this book has answered all my questions and more. All the information you need about Intermittent Fasting in one neat book.
I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest review.

Intermittent Fasting Made Easy is an accessible practice based overview on intermittent fasting for weight loss, energy and muscle building by Thomas DeLauer. Due out 12th Apr 2022 from Quarto on their Fair Winds Press imprint, it's 256 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats.

There has never been a dearth of diet and weight loss books. It's a huge booming industry. What has changed radically is the science-based understanding of physiology and metabolism which has led to more specific targeted practice and plan for working *with* our bodies' and metabolism instead of against them.

The author speaks well and convincingly (and enthusiastically) about intermittent fasting and provides quite a lot of benefits of eating on a schedule: saving time (by not sitting in your car in a fast food drive through), regulating sleep patterns, gaining energy, losing weight, correcting insulin resistance, and more. The introduction covers what intermittent fasting is, and the benefits both physical and mental. The following sections cover how to get started, how to optimize results (weight loss, reducing inflammation, sleep quality, hormonal balance), and maintenance.

Although this is very much a layperson accessible book, and I found the information easy to understand, the book is annotated throughout and the source material (bibliography included in the back) comes from high quality sources.

There are no specific meal plans or food lists included here. The author presents the information and allows readers to formulate their own plans (with guidance) rather than presenting a rigid set of inflexible rules. I also liked that he says to expect unsolicited advice. Throughout the book small bullet lists of important points are given in highlighted text boxes give readers short, concise info in easy-to-remember bits.

New vocabulary and concepts are defined in the text. The book does include a comprehensive chapter annotations list and cross referenced index.

Four stars. There's a lot of good information here. Sometimes it reads a bit like an infomercial, but I enjoyed the author's enthusiasm and I also liked that he backs up his information with practice based scientific sources.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

I've been wanting to learn about intermittent fasting, and this book is a great resource on the subject! It tells you all that you need to know to get started and information about the benefits. I can't wait to try out what I learned!

Fantastic insightful read. Definitely one of the best books I’ve read on intermittent fasting and I’ve read a few! Just wish it was downloadable to kindle too!

The title of this book really says it all - it is a comprehensive, yet easy to follow guide to intermittent fasting, and even though I have considered myself to follow this eating pattern for a number of years I still learned more than one thing from this book and have changed some of my eating practices on this basis.

I have read other book on intermittent fasting and this is by far the best quality with the strongest evidence base.

I'd wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone considering this lifestyle, in addition it is a lifestyle that I would highly recommend.

My thanks to NetGalley, author and publisher for opportunity to review this book in exchange for an advance copy. .
