Eat Stop Eat Review
I have added an affiliate linked image to the ebook Eat Stop Eat in the right hand column here. While I don’t agree with every detail in this ebook, I think it is a good introduction to intermittent fasting. Of course, the author’s goal is weight-loss, so his program is intermittent fasting with calorie restriction. I think anyone who is more than slightly overweight can benefit from beginning such a regime, then relax the eating restrictions when you achieve your ideal weight.
Also, the author of this ebook (Brad Pilon) recommends an unbalanced eating schedule — you get more calories some days than others. As you know if you have followed this blog, we recommend a balanced schedule because it is much easier to follow. If you have the will-power to put up with an unbalanced schedule for a while, I’m sure it is a great way to lose weight more rapidly than our slow-but-sure method. So if you have a lot of weight to lose, it may be best to start with such a diet, before adopting a balanced 23 hours fasting followed by 25 hours eating lifestyle. Remember, this diet is not just (or even primarily) for weight-loss. You will be healthier, and probably will live longer, due to the beneficial effects of an intermittent fasting regime.
So if you are looking to lose weight, get the ebook. Remember that at some point, you will attain your ideal weight, and then you should switch to a maintenance schedule that will still provide the health benefits of calorically unrestricted alternate day fasting — such as our intermittent fasting schedule.
