Fast. Feast. Repeat. What a great read! I’ve read Gin’s first book, Delay Don’t Deny, and enjoyed it as well! It wasn’t terribly science filled, but was based on good info; I just really get a lot from the sciencey bits. Then I rolled into Dr. Jason Fung’s The Obesity Code, The Diabetes Code, and The Complete Guide To Fasting.I was a happy camper and fully armed with my arsenal of fasting info! I’m an RN and I love the science. I haven’t felt compelled to read much more outside of online research articles. I have been successfully IFing for almost 2 years. But we were coming up on our beach vacation and I love a good book for beach reading.I can’t say how much I love this book. It really took a lot of Dr. Fung’s science into account and broke it down to layman’s understanding. Its straightforward and thorough. All the basic questions are here and answered. The harder questions down the road are even answered or at least addressed. It is so well written, fun, and personable. Who else feels like Gin is a friend? 🙋🏼♀️I will always still heavy push reading Dr. Fung’s books and not to mention his online info; totally free because he’s a saint of a doctor that really cares about helping people. But I can’t say how invaluable Gin’s books have been.I don’t want to fly through a book, but when its about self improvement, I want to get through it pretty briskly! I read on this off and on for about 3-5 days. If you read really steadily, you could do it in 1 or 2 easily! It’s a good resource to look back on. It is wonderful for those starting out and it’s a good source of info/refresher for the veteran IFer! I didn’t need encouragement that I COULD fast, but if I did, this book gives it to you!Delay Don’t Deny is an even quicker read, I believe I knocked it out in a day; and if you want super fast and to dive right in, it might be a good starting place. But Fast, Feast, Repeat is just phenomenal. Everything is well sourced and the other book recommendations are great and super helpful! I think I’ll get Mindset next!I have been stalling with my 105 lb total weight loss for about a year now, bouncing up and down in a 10 lb range; this gave me some insight and remotivated me to continue my efforts and that despite stalls, I am still doing my body good.Some feel Delay Don’t Deny is encouraging a free for all food wise. While I think the first book could be seen that way by some, like Dr. Fung, I think it’s more about encouraging compliance. Dr. Fung even says that fasting can be coupled with ANY diet and that fasting is as simple as not eating; not having specific dietary restrictions or goals can be very helpful for some. It’s me! I’m some! Chronic middle child syndrome of, “You can’t tell me what to do!” Having more freedom in my food choices, helps keep me on track with better eating and I do try for more low carb because of my insulin resistance from PCOS.Fast, Feast, Repeat does NOT encourage an eating free for all or permission to eat whatever you want. It encourages the reader to eat whatever diet is best for them and if what you’re doing isn’t working, that adjusting it can be a big help; whether that’s keto, paleo, whole foods, etc.Also I would love to read a book collaborated by these two! I love their humor and writing styles!

The Best Book on Fasting I Have Ever Read
Gin Stephens’ latest book, Fast Feat Repeat is hands down the best book I have ever read on the subject of fasting. Ms. Stephens is a retired teacher with multiple degrees including a doctorate in Gifted & Talented Education. She is the first person to tell you that she is not a medical doctor.Even so, her work is meticulously researched and documented. Should you care to read the papers and studies in their entirety, links are provided. Gin has the heart and soul of an educator. She knows precisely how to present this information to everyone from people just learning about Intermittent Fasting to skeptics to the most seasoned faster. I’m quite certain everyone will learn something valuable from this book. The “Ins & Outs” of Intermittent Fasting are covered extensively throughout with gentle reminders along the way as to how later chapters relate to material covered in earlier chapters.The manner in which she writes is funny, engaging, accessible and easy to understand. If you are familiar with her podcasts, Intermittent Fasting Stories (interviews with other fasters) and The Intermittent Fast Podcast (with co-host Melanie Avalon), you can hear her voice and humor as you read.Some well researched works are merely compilations of facts and figures. Pretty dry and boring.By continually presenting the facts along with personal experiences, the experiences of others and her own brand of humor and heart, you can’t help but enthusiastically read page after page and find yourself more excited with every passing chapter.Between the information provided and her most thorough Question & Answer Section, no stone is left unturned and no question left unanswered. This teacher makes sure no one need stay after class. Highly recommended. Five Stars. Did you buy it? You should buy it. Available in print, Kindle and Audible editions.

Das Buch ist ein Do-it-yourself-Ratgeber zum Thema Intervallfasten und erklärt alle bekannten Fastenansätze (16:8, 5:2, OMAD und ADF). Die Autorin selbst hat jahrzehntelang erfolglos mit Diäten gegen ihr Übergewicht gekämpft und 2014 dank IF 80 Pfund verloren. Diesen Gewichtsverlust hält sie bis zum heutigen Tag, wie man ihrem Podcast, den Fasting Stories, sowie zahlreichen Interviews und Fotos entnehmen kann. Als ehemalige Grundschullehrerin besitzt Gin Stephens die Gabe komplexe Vorgänge gut verständlich rüber zu bringen und auch einen gewißen Entertainment-Faktor nicht zu vernachlässigen – so ist der Ratgeber eine kurzweilige Lektüre, die sich flott liest. Sie hat davor bereits andere Bücher zum Thema Fasten geschrieben, ich persönlich kenne nur ihren Bestseller und finde ihn völlig ausreichend, um sich zu informieren.Für mich war das Buch eine große Motivationshilfe, besonders in der körperlichen „adjustment-phase“, in der man verstärkt mit Hunger zu kämpfen hat. Mittlerweile habe ich eine gut funktionierende Fasten-Routine etabliert und betrachte fasten nicht mehr als Diät-Maßnahme, um Gewicht zu verlieren, sondern als langfristige Lebensstiländerung. Das habe ich auch Gin Stephens, ihrem Know-How und der Fasten-Community zu verdanken, die sie maßgeblich mit aufgebaut hat und bis heute prägt.So absurd es klingt, Fasten erlaubt mir endlich Freiheit im Umgang mit Essen. Es gibt keine verbotenen Lebensmittel mehr und ich zähle weder Kalorien, noch Makronährstoffe. Ich praktiziere überwiegend OMAD (21:3), da mein Körper sehr gut darauf klar kommt. Das Schöne am fasten ist aber auch, dass man es jederzeit flexibel an wechselnde Lebensumstände und Ziele anpassen kann. Gin nennt hier gute Beispiele, wie man unterschiedliche Fastenprotokolle als Tools einsetzen kann. Hauptsache man bleibt am Ball, denn consistency is key.

I loved this book. I read a comment about someone saying that everything in this book is “simply obvious”, but honestly, for me it wasn’t. It was really an eye opener, I learnt about the science behind Intermitent Fasting so I could understand better what happens in my body when I fast, I changed some of my habits, there is also a chapter about how IF helps with apetite correction and how you can make most of it. This isn’t something you should follow as she says, she encourages you to choose your own program and what feels best for you. I’m in love with this book, right now I’m reading it for the second time this month and still learning new things. I know this sounds like a paid ad but it isn’t lol, i’m just happy about my results.
