Life in the Fasting Lane

This book changed my life. While I had grown up with the belief that you can burn what you eat with exercise, the book clearly brings out the difference between food intake and exercise, and the hormonal processes involved when eat. The basics are simple - we are eating far more and far more frequently than what the human body is designed for. Hunger is just a signal to the brain, and does not mean we are starving. Proteins, Fats and Fibre are essential to give a sense of fullness, which a carb-only diet does not give. We have enough reserves in the body to last for a long time. It explains some very practical methods to introduce fasting into our daily life. Based on the book, I adopted a number of lifestyle changes. I stopped snacking, and learned to live with hunger much longer, made changes to my food composition, skipping lunch - all without any impact to my daily productivity at work. As a benefit, I am 6 kg lighter, and my latest medical reports indicated better cholesterol levels. The format is also innovative - with each chapter having 3 distinct sections - each with a different author bringing a unique perspective - a doctor, a researcher and a patient. Overall, the book brings clarity in a confusing space.

I could not find anything new in this book. The format didn't work for me.

It is a very good book. It is very informative. I am enjoying reading it a lot. It is a good purchase.

I loved this book and I sure highly recommend it to anyone who wants to choose the Fasting Lifestyle. I found it very useful and inspirational for me. Thank you for all the tips and the advice you can get reading it.

A book that explains the benefits, science and process of fasting in laymen's terms. It explains how fasting is beneficial for your body not only to lose weight but also to cure conditions such as type 2 diabetes, PCOS, fatty liver disease etc but also to prevent conditions and diseases such as Alzheimer's and Cancer. Eve, Megan and Dr. Fung have written a book that is easy too read and understand and helps you step by step to get into this way of life and thrive. I LOVE fasting! I've lost weight, I feel great and my relationship with food is so much healthier and doesn't rule my life any more. If you have already read Dr. Fung's "The Obesity Code", still get this book. Eve and Megan do a great job of bringing it back to real life situations that you can identify with. If you haven't read "The Obesity Code", buy both! This will change your life. I promise.

Life in the Fasting Lane is a super approachable and motivating book for anyone curious about intermittent fasting. The authors break down different fasting methods, answer common questions, and share real-life tips to help you find what works for you. It’s flexible, supportive, and packed with both expert advice and personal stories—perfect if you want to make fasting a sustainable part of your routine.

This book is very informative and explains Intermittent Fasting very well. As with other books by Dr. Fung, it very clearly explains the material so that the reader does not need to have a science background to understand the concepts. I have been practicing the 8 - 16 schedule of Intermittent Fasting for quite a while and feel that this schedule, along with good choices as to what I eat, has helped me maintain good blood sugar and insulin levels while never experiencing extreme hunger and while maintaining good energy levels. The concept works for me.

A good and interesting read.
