Eat. Stop. Eat by Tanya Simons, Brad Pilon

3.0

I only gave this 3 stars instead of more because i found myself skimming through it quite a bit. Part I read, part I listened to on audio. I already knew intermittent fasting was good, but I wanted to know why. While the author does a great job of telling you about all of the studies, I just had a hard time getting into it. I also felt like it was weird in the beginning him knocking all the diet books & gurus who tell you the way to lose weight, yet that's what he's doing in his book. I got what he was saying, but it just seemed weird the amount of time he spent knocking them, yet kind of did the same thing himself. But otherwise, it was pretty good. Honestly, Butter Bob Briggs was who referred me to this book. He does a lot of explaining about fasting & how he lost 145 pounds with intermittent fasting & a ketogenic diet (which is what I'm doing) on his YouTube channel & blog. You can find him by searching on YouTube: Butter Bob Briggs Fasting And The Fifty Percent Insulin Problem. And then if you want more specific studies detail, then read this book.
