Have you tried every diet under the sun without success? Are you fed up of counting every last calorie and planning each meal with military precision?


With the intermittent fasting methods you'll find in this book, those problems will become a thing of the past – as will those extra pounds you've been trying to lose.


Dieting is difficult and the odds are stacked against you. Your body has all manner of ways to encourage you to eat at its disposal, because it's hard wired to prevent you from starving. But with intermittent fasting, you won't need to worry about these problems any more.


Every serial dieter reaches a point where they believe nothing is ever going to work, but can't work out why. Fortunately, science has done the work for you and figured out what mechanisms are making it so tough to shed the pounds – and how, with intermittent fasting, to get past the hurdles.


Choose your own diet routine


One of the biggest problems for dieters is the constant presence of temptation, from the plate of cookies at work to family meals that smell too delicious to ignore. With intermittent fasting, you can build your diet around those temptations by selecting the right fasting periods for your own lifestyle.


Sidestep the starvation conundrum


Your body doesn't want you to starve, so there are certain mechanisms that kick in the second you cut down on your food intake. Intermittent fasting avoids these methods better than almost any other diet out there because it mimics the way your ancestors used to live – which is still the way your body is designed to eat.


Take the first step – find out more


This book contains information about the science behind intermittent fasting and the reasons it works so well. Discover:

  • How your body becomes dependent on insulin – and how fasting can help

  • The ways your body tries to avoid starvation – and why they make dieting so hard

  • How intermittent fasting can boost your health while it helps you lose weight.


    Figure out the best fasting method for you


    There's more than one way to skin a cat, as they say, and one of intermittent fasting's biggest benefits is that it allows you to set your own routine. Find out how to design your diet for your own needs, such as:

  • Daily periods of fasting that fit around your family meals and work commitments

  • Day-long periods without food and normal eating inbetween

  • Skipping meals when it feels appropriate.


    Start a diet that lets you eat every single food you love


    What most people love best about intermittent fasting is that there's no need to change your eating patterns between your periods without eating. You won't crave your favorite treats because you can eat as many of them as always and still lose weight. How much you change your eating patterns between fasts is entirely up to you – cutting back or choosing healthier options will help, but you'll still lose weight either way.


    Take charge of your future – lose those pesky pounds


    Still not convinced? In this book, you'll find out all the many advantages of choosing intermittent fasting as your diet plan, including:

  • No extra money for special foods

  • Less risk of piling the weight back on once it's lost

  • No need to worry about your diet clashing with your commitments

  • An end to the daily hunger that makes so many diets fail.
