About this listen

Fasting is emerging as one of the most exciting medical advancements in recent memory. Its list of benefits extends far beyond weight loss and includes improved cardiovascular health, lower blood pressure, protection against cancer, and better cognitive function.

While many of us may be able to handle the physical effects of fasting, the mental and social challenges are often daunting. There are so many opportunities to eat during the day, and sometimes it's rude not to participate in meals. What do you do with the time you used to spend eating? How do you navigate social situations while fasting? How can a food addict mentally prepare for a fast?

Life in the Fasting Lane fills all of these gaps, and more, by bringing together three leading voices in the fasting community to provide a book written for both the body and the mind, helping people cope with all aspects - physical, social, emotional, medical - of fasting. It blends cutting-edge medical and scientific information about fasting with the perspective of a patient who has battled obesity the majority of her adult life.

I was worried about fasting and this book helped to get me started and through my first fast of 47 hours! Nearly 2 days. I particularly liked the advice on drinking salty water to ensure I had the right nutrients (normal salt is ok but dearer variety is better). I took a multivitamin and coffees (yes with milk!) and some herbal teas and water. I went to the gym on both days. Surprisingly I had more energy and less cravings in the second day so next week I might attempt 72 hours!!
This fast: Sunday 7pm until Tuesday 6pm

Excellent Advice on Fasting

I found this book very informative. having read the obesity code this book was a natural progression for me. Written by people with a vast amount of knowledge and experience, I found it a great source of information.

Fabulous Book

In this book, the why's and how's of intermittent fasting are presented in detail by people who are obviously grounded fully in the knowledge and expertise of the subject, as well as in the experience of actually living it. Both are important. I loved the book.

More than a Lifestyle

Having been dieting for nearly 40 years and finding myself at my heaviest weight ever, it is a revelation to learn that my failure to lose weight is not a failure on my part but of failure of the science behind all the diets I have tried!

A well written book outlining both the science and methods of fasting with the added bonus of personal accounts. I will definitely be re listening and recommending this to everyone!

A revelation!

I'm a big fan of Dr Fung, and I believe I've read everything he's written, at least 3 times. This isn't just because I'm a slow reader, its also because he recycles his work. The only thing new he has in this book is a short discussion on Behaviour Economics (and as a BE, I approve).

Eve and Megan added a lot of perspective to this book. But I didn't like how the story unfolded. I'm reading this book and I have not had weeks to 'flex my fasting muscle' So to narrate it in the "now that you've spent 3 months on IF and are comfortable ..."

I'm an IF'er of about 18 months, and I love it for so many reasons. and I 100% agree that you need to start slow to build the muscle. All in all I found it a little too much 'off the shelf self-help', and not enough personal stories. I understand why, but I felt a little choked.

But if you want to get started on IF, then this is a fantastic start!

Mixed, mostly positive

This is a well structured and well researched book. It gives excellent information and background to Fasting, but leaves the reader free to choose what works best for them. I especially enjoyed the science because it was easy for me to understand without feeling like it had been watered down. Great work, I've already recommended this book - even before I completed it!

Fantastic read!
