The Complete Guide to Fasting
7 hrs. 31 min.
Description
Obesity and type 2 diabetes are directly linked to insulin levels and susceptibility to it. Any food raises insulin levels—but it does so differently. Carbohydrates cause sharp spikes upward and a prolonged drop back to normal. Fats raise levels more gradually and then lower them quickly. That’s why calorie counting by itself is ineffective if you want to lose weight or improve your health. You have to change your habits.
But dietary preferences that have grown out of a certain lifestyle pace aren’t easy to change. Instead of trying to cook “special” meals and spending crazy money on expensive “healthy” foods, you can take a much simpler route—go “back to basics,” specifically to fasting, meaning intermittent fasting.
The new book by Dr. Fung explains the therapeutic use of fasting and clears up all the skeptical questions that typically arise for those who hear about this method for the first time. No suffering, apathy, or weakness. No emotional distress or loss of the meaning of life. Intermittent fasting isn’t a diet, which means it has none of the drawbacks of “restricted” living. Only ease, beauty, and health—natural companions of Dr. Fung’s system.
