Fast This Way: Burn Fat, Heal Inflammation, and Eat Like the High-Performing Human You Were Meant to Be

Dave Asprey gives always contemporary advices in all of his books. A must read for anyone who wants to be healthier.

I've been following Dave for years. I've been practicing intermittent fasting up to 18 hours each day for many years. I thought I knew a lot about the benefits of fasting but this book took my knowledge to a whole new level. Since finishing the book, I've already experimented with two 24 hour fasts. The first wasn't great but the second was amazing! Dave talks a lot in the book about how we need to self-experiment to find what works best for us individually. He discusses how we are all unique and that women especially need to proceed cautiously and listen to their bodies. My first 24 your fast was definitely an experiment and I learned that having my one meal a day at dinner isn't great for me. But, having my one meal at lunch was ideal. I slept like a baby and woke up with tight skin and fewer wrinkles! I especially love the way Dave told his own personal story and described his journey in this book. It's one thing to read a practical how-to book that contains useful information, but when you read a very engaging story like this, the information sinks in so much deeper. I now have a very vivid image of Dave in the dark cave with bees swirling around him while he is trying to meditate. And, him hiking 10 miles after 4 days with no food and feeling like he is king of the world. This absolutely could and should be a movie! Not only is the book filled with lots information that is going to stick with me, but it was inspiring. I can honestly say for the first time in my life I would really like to try a 2, 3, or even 4 day fast. Not just for the physical benefits but for the spiritual ones. This was an aspect of the book that surprised me a little. I've always thought of fasting as a way to improve the health of our physical body, but Dave clearly makes a case for extended fasts as a way to rediscover yourself and to allow more of your true inner self to shine. Thank you Dave for writing this!

E' sempre emozionante leggere un libro senza intermediazione della traduzione e in particolare leggere direttamente le parole del padre del bioachking è entusiasmante. Ha un modo di scrivere che è semplice e quindi comprensibile per uno come me che sa l'inglese a un livello intermedio. Poi è troppo bello avventurarsi in un libro che forse non verrà mai tradotto! In generale, è un bel compendio sul tema del digiuno e fornisce una carica extra per affrontare il digiuno e sentirsi quindi a proprio agio anche fuori dalla confort zone del cibo. Dave Asprey sempre grandioso!

I loved this book! I'm an avid Dave Asprey reader and podcast listener and I was really looking forward to this book. It did not disappoint! I loved that he told us about his own journey and backed everything up with science. It was to the point, very clear and entertaining. 100% recommended!

More and more health practitioners are highlighting the health benefits of fasting. It is not a new concept but as more science is uncovered, it has become clear that this is a very beneficial strategy for better health and longevity. The problem is the actual implementation and actually understanding the implications of the approach. There are different types of intermittent fasts and also their effects are different for males and females. It is therefore important to clearly understand this to help identify the best approach. This book is all about helping you understanding the power of fasting and most importantly, strategies that will help make fasting less painful, more pleasurable and enriching. The basic information on fasting is of course well known and you can read it in books such as Dr Jason Fung's The Complete Guide to Fasting: Heal Your Body Through Intermittent, Alternate-Day, and Extended Fasting. This book also covers all types of fasts e.g. 16:8, 5:2, OMAD (One Meal a day), Eat stop eat, Crescendo fast, Alternate-day fast, Water fast, Extended fast, Protein fast, Fasting-mimicking diet, Seasonal eating, Dopamine fast. He also brings into the mix, the Bulletproof Intermittent fasting which introduces bulletproof coffee during the fast to allow extending the fast for longer periods without feeling hunger pangs or other effects. What Dave brings to the mix is anecdotes and then add in some really useful information that may not be known to even those who regularly fast. I like how he has laid out the chapters e.g. fasting for sleep where he talks about the circadian reset fast. He has a specific chapter on what supplements to take to support fasting which I thought was very useful and a specific chapter about fasting for women and considerations for this. I have been intermittent fasting for about 3 years now and I have definitely felt the benefits. Whilst I have mostly done 16:8 with occasional 24 hour fasts and one 36 hour fast, I feel the information in the book can help support me to try out some other variations including longer fasts. What I like is that there are very helpful suggestions on approach and also highlighting what could go wrong and sensible advice to not overdo anything. If you are serious about getting benefits of fasting then this is a great book to help you in that journey.
