The subject of intermittent fasting seems to be popping up a lot on the internet these days. While not yet accepted as a mainstream nutritional idea, the process of fasting for both health and mental acuity has been around for thousands of years.In this book, the author explains various types and methods of IF to help you make a decision whether or not IF is right for you. He also expounds on the myths of fasting and compares various popular diets to IF with pros and cons of each diet.While this is a good, basic book that gives an excellent overview, there is much research being done now on IF.  If you decide to try intermittent fasting, be sure to do more research into this subject. More could have been written about the types of food to eat before and after fasting, how to break your fast, various supplements, that while not necessary, make fasting easier and more beneficial. These are subjects that could have been included in this book for a truly comprehensive book on IF.On the whole, this book is well written, and if you are new to IF, a good jumping off point if you are interested in knowing more about this subject.  I personally fast one day a week, and find it really helps me to keep my weight level.  I find it also helps my body feel lighter, my mind sharper, and keeps both mind and body more in tune with each other.I recommend this book for people looking for more information on this subject, and also for anyone who is considering trying IF.
