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.

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.

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.
