It’s the one that makes you feel in control and the one that you can follow long-term as a lifestyle. I was hungry at times (though nothing unmanageable, I was just not used to it), my stomach acted up and I kept "over eating" (= ate what I used to eat but it was too much somehow) and found myself literally ASLEEP in less than an hour later (lucky my big meal is dinner at home). I have read this book at least three times and each time I uncover something else that I need to apply to my life.

This is a most reassuring, easy reading and informative book to browse through if you ever worried about the fact that you just cannot face breakfast in the early morning, are ravenous by midday and then not hungry again until the evening meal. On the other hand, satiety is a good sign, telling you that your body is happy with what you are doing.It wasn’t the author’s recommendations that threw me off - I’ve been fasting for health reasons for some time now, and have read most of what is available on the science of how and why it works. The author explains the benefits of intermittent fasting thoroughly and in easy to understand language. I hope to be able to share the gift of this book with many friends and family as the year progresses. Gin is also a mother to two adult sons (and she is thankful every day for the intermittent fasting lifestyle that makes her life easier).

I aim at 19 hours fasting a day, but some days I do 17-18 hours if I get home later than I planned and/or I still need to make dinner, and some days I do 20-21 hours (like the weekends as I eat one BIG meal so I just drink coffee with a snack later on). There are just basic guidelines about the "clean fast" and the different patterns people can chose from - a daily eating window (14-23 hours) or full day fasts (a few of those a week). In this book, you will learn the science behind intermittent fasting, and also understand how to adjust the various intermittent fasting plans to work for your unique lifestyle. Fasting for two consecutive days will impact your energy levels and can slow your metabolism, making it difficult for you to lose weight. This is the goal: to be in a place where you are listening to satiety signals and you are not fasting through sheer willpower alone.Dr Jason Fung's book was about the science and far less about what "Living an Intermittent Lifestyle" means which is EXACTLY what you get in this book (after all, it's in the title.

Jason Fung's book, The Obesity Code, but Gin's book, Delay, Don't Deny, serves as the missing puzzle piece, taking the complex science and distilling it down to what works and what doesn't.Not once throughout the book does she mention all the other, more important things IF can help with.

Gin Stephens presents an easy-to-follow, and extremely flexible plan, that we can adjust to our own schedule. but getting this book was certainly a TREAT as it covers almost ANYTHING and EVERYTHING anyone needs to know about actually DOING Intermittent Fasting. This involves only eating between certain hours each day, so you maintain a fast outside that window. As a 'questioner' in the Gretchen Rubin "The Four Tendencies" framework I usually only listen to experts with credentials, or other credible sources like WireCutter or Consumer Reports -- People and organizations that are reliably credible.

I am new to intermittent fasting and have spent the last couple of weeks reading The Obesity Code by Dr Jason Fung - invaluable but also quite handwork for a non-scientist to read. The “ rip off the band-aid” is the most drastic approach to intermittent fasting that throws you right in at the deep end. I wanted to enjoy the benefits of fasting but also eat normal healthy food with a few indulgences so it fits with my family / social life.
