Bosnian born Swedish expert Mirsad Hasic is one of the most grounded health and fitness guides publishing fitness books today. The reason is simple; he was overweight, overcame that dangerous state through following his own conceptions and useful information he picked up along the way, and now is fit and healthy and happy and obviously loves to share his philosophy and `recipes' with us. No fancy dancing or repetitive and boring dialogue here - just down to earth encouragement and pointers on how to leave that fat carcass in the death wait line and instead jump into a healthy habit of becoming fit.In this new book he also emphasizes his terrific sense of humor: `I have a confession to make: when it comes to the intersection of science and health, I am a total geek...When I really want to know a topic, I dig in...Well, I wanted to tackle intermittent fasting...and I came across the 5:2 diet.' And from this very human starting point, Mirsad Hasic takes us through the positive aspects and the negative aspects of the intermittent fasting diet (fast 2 days, eat normally 5 days). He discusses the many misconceptions about the intermittent fasting diet (it is not dangerous, and no, it doesn't promote aging, it indeed RETARDS aging), the controversy about whether or not it is a successful way to lose weight, the significant importance of fluid intake during the diet, and the importance of getting medical approval before you start. He then emphasizes the need to track yourself on the diet (for both women and men) and the metabolic considerations to understand, the fascinating information about muscle loss questions when on this diet, how the diet influences sleep and appetite control, and the all important discussion and training on what to eat when on this diet.As Mirsad states it in his own words, `I will provide you with 40 of the most recurring mistakes people unwittingly stumble upon when they are on a 5:2 diet. You won't find these details in any of the generic 5:2 books available on the market. I know, because I've been through them all! Once you become aware of these common blunders, you can simply eliminate them from your regime. So are you now ready to observe as your success with the 5:2 diet skyrockets? Follow my directions and you WILL get to reap the rewards of this very workable diet.In no time at all, you too can enjoy telling your own weight loss success story to others. If you're genuinely ready to lose those unwanted extra pounds, then I can assure you the answers to your prayers are revealed in my book. Discover how to eliminate all those 5:2 diet mistakes today, and get to experience the joys of being lighter, fitter, and healthier than you can remember. It's now time to end the frustration, the anger, and constant disillusionment of weight gain.There are few health coaches out there who immediately make you feel as comfortable about all aspects of health and weight control, and one of the major reasons his books are so excellent is his style of talking/writing to us. Climb on board with Mirsad Hasic - he makes good health fun! Grady Harp, August 13
