Eat Stop Eat: Intermittent Fasting for Health and Weight Loss (English) Kindle Edition

Brad's experience and education in the nutrition field are very persuasive. I am slowly implementing his methods. I do fast overnight between twelve and fourteen hours. I have completed one nineteen hour fast. I have already experienced a reduction of a few pounds which I believe will be maintained. I have also experienced the lack of preoccupation with scheduling meals and the flexibility of eating what I want with no forbidden foods. Great job!

I did not realize that depending on your age is determined by how you fast. Now that I know and follow the things I have learned, I have lost pounds since I implemented them.

My RD recommends doing a 24 hour fast one or two days a week. She emphasizes the overall health benefits of this life style beyond just weight loss. This book gave me a better understanding of the science behind this strategy and increased my motivation to try this approach. The information on weight training and exercise was an added bonus.

After reading Jason Fung's The Complete Guide to Fasting, I purchased Eat Stop Eat, which is mentioned on page 213 of Fungs Fasting book.I love how in-depth Brad Pilon goes into all the research. Where Jason Fung's book leaves off and lacking in some detail, Brad Pilon's book was the perfect follow-up for the details I was craving!Eat Stop Eat is basically divided into two parts. He does not number his chapters so I will give page numbers. I see pages 1 to 112 as being Part 1 and pages 113 to 189 as Part 2. Part 2 is about how to apply a 24 hour fast to your life style and Part 1 is all about the years of research and science behind fasting and how it affects different hormones and parts of the body.In what I call Part 2 of the book, Pilon does not give advice about what to eat, but rather WHEN to eat and WHY.This is a great book to follow Jason Fung's book: The Complete Guide to Fasting. I also recommend other books by Joel Fuhrman, Michael Gregor, Caldwell Esselstyn, T. Colin Campbell and others like them. While I have not eliminated animal products entirely, I do try to eat mostly whole-food, plant-based, nutrient-dense foods with limited animal products ("flexitarian") like green leaves, vegetables, fruits, beans, whole grains, nuts, seeds, mushrooms, onions, berries, "G-BOMBS", and the like.While not as much in-depth research as Brad Pilon's book, I thought The Fast Diet book by Mosely was alright and an interesting approach [mentioned on page 214 of Fung's book]. It does not quite stress "autophagy", but I can see how people would like the 5:2 approach as a way to ease into 24-hour fasting or a sort of "middle ground".Anyway, I am grateful for Brad Pilon's book Eat Stop Eat. I highly recommend it. I hope you have benefited from my review in some way.

This gives too much science info instead of info I can use.

This book has been an eye opener for me. Easy to follow, well documented, understand and put into practice for a lifestyle change that will last for the rest of your life. You have to get this book, read it and try the process of Eat Stop Eat! Fasting has always been a part of life throughout the ages. This book unpacks the way to do it in a very simple and long-lasting approach. This IS NOT a Diet or Fad but rather a lifestyle to get and stay healthy. You WON'T be disappointed! It's all up to you. Thanks, Brad, for all of your research! This truly has changed my life for the positive. No more struggling with Yo-Yo diet mumbo jumbo:)

I am a believer of this book and the method of losing AND MAINTAINING weight! The author uses a ton of facts which is refreshing and points out the errors and common misconceptions in major weight loss programs. I've lost literally 100s of pounds over my lifetime and failed to maintain my weight. I have now used his method for a couple months and LOVE IT! The biggest benefit to me is breaking the addiction cycle of eating all the time. Fasting is easy AND painless once you get the hang of it. I lost 5 pounds the first month...the same month I had 2 weeks of company and full blown holidays. Usually I would have gained 5-7 pounds. BIG WIN for me and I feel great. I started by fasting after a big lunch and found it easy to not eat through dinner. Since I'm not usually a big bfast person it was easy. If youre on the fence...buy it and try it!

Just finished reading Eat Stop Eat and found the information within it very helpful. I can't wait to apply the knowledge learned to my new lifestyle of intermittent fasting. I started with an 18 fast/6 fed approach and only have 8 more #'s to lose. So I'm going to switch to the Eat stop Eat way of a 24 hour fast 2 times a week and add resistance training to take an added approach to losing the last few #'s. Thanks Brad for the motivators and boost towards achieving my goal weight.
