Details: Product Description A REVOLUTIONARY ANCIENT SECRET: FASTINGA guide to fasting correctly and safely in order to maintain healthy weight and insulin levels. Thousands of books have been written about the latest and greatest diets that will help people lose weight and improve health. But a key element in any successful nutritional health program is a tried-and-true method that most people haven't thought about - yet it could be revolutionary for taking health to the next level. This ancient secret is fasting. Fasting is not about starving oneself. When done right, it's an incredibly effective therapeutic approach that produces amazing results regardless of diet plan. In fact, Toronto-based nephrologist Dr Jason Fung has used a variety of fasting protocols with more than 1,000 patients, with fantastic success. In THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO FASTING, he has teamed up with international bestselling author and veteran health podcaster Jimmy Moore to explain what fasting is really about, why it's so important, and how to fast in a way that improves health. Together, they make fasting as a therapeutic approach both practical and easy to understand. THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO FASTING explains: why fasting is actually good for health who can benefit from fasting (and who won't) the history of fasting the various ways to fast what to expect when starting to fast how to track progress while fasting the weight loss effects of fasting how to ward off potential negative effects from fasting The book also provides tools to help readers get started and get through their fasts, including a 7-Day Kick-Start Fasting Plan and healing liquid recipes. About the Author Dr Jason Fung earned his medical degree at the University of Toronto, where he also completed his internal medicine residency before heading to UCLA for a fellowship in nephrology (a branch of medicine concerned with the kidneys). He currently practices as a kidney specialist in Toronto. He founded the Intensive Dietary Management program to provide a unique treatment focus for type 2 diabetes and obesity that promotes dietary changes over a focus on medication. Jimmy Moore catapulted onto the health scene in 2004 after a phenomenal 180-pound weight loss success enabled him to come off of prescription drugs for high cholesterol, high blood pressure and respiratory problems. He is the energetic personality behind the popular Livin' La Vida Low-Carb blog and host of one of the top-ranked health podcasts, The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show.
