I came across information on intermittent fasting recently and the idea intrigued me.  I’ve been in the direct response industry for 20+ years and I’ve seen just about every weight loss plan on the market.I liked this book as it actually explains how intermittent fasting works and why it causes weight loss.I followed the plan the author proposes in this book and found out that I eat way more than I realized and I was eating most often out of habit than true hunger.  This was definitely a huge reality check for me.The author also explains the benefits of exercising during fasting.  I’m far from an exercise fiend but I do have an elliptical machine and added 30 minutes a day on it when I decided to implement intermittent fasting.The idea of this plan is 5:2.  So 5 days eating normal and 2 days fasting.  What is interesting is that after the 2 day fasting period (this does not mean that you do not eat two days in a row) I found I was eating way less on the other 5 days and my food choices were much better.  This is not a starve two days, binge for five days program.This program does bring results though as I dropped a full pants size in about a week and a half (actually closer to a week but as we know everyone is different so I don't want to sound like you'll experience miracle results).  I also feel that I have an increase in energy. I wake up a full hour earlier in the morning and don’t feel tired and exhausted at night.If what I’ve said sounds interesting to you, I think you may like this book as it is truly a 101 type of read and answers a lot of questions one may have about the program in a factual manner.Excellent read.
