Synopsis

The Fast-5 Diet and the Fast-5 Lifestyle is a book about integrating intermittent fasting into a daily routine that gets appetite working like it should -- reducing intake if you have excess fat and maintaining a healthy weight if you don't. The Fast-5 rule is simple -- eat within five consecutive hours. The book is about how to get started, what to expect, and how to deal with the challenges of eating in a way that's not the social norm, but saves time, saves money, and is one of the most easily sustained choices for getting to and maintaining a healthy weight.

From the Inside Flap

Imagine a diet that lets you eat what you want, with no food or food group off limits. Imagine a diet that works without drugs even if you don't exercise. Can you imagine a diet that lets you eat until you are full? One that doesn't require keeping track of points? How about a diet that's so easy to keep that you stick with it after you've lost the weight you wanted to lose, so the pounds stay off? Imagine that all this comes in a single diet, one that may even prolong your life. It's too good to be true...isn't it? It's all in this little book. As soon as you begin the Fast-5 diet plan, you'll discover how much our culture encourages overeating. Escape from the cultural rut. Take control.
