Since reading The Complete Guide To Fasting, I decided to go on a fasting reading kick. Does that even make sense? “Fasting reading…” Anyway, I am a fan of Dr. Fung, so I traversed down to my local library and checked out his newest book from the library. And it was just okay.
A Good Introduction to Fasting
I think this would be a good book for anyone who wants to learn more about fasting in general. The chapters are essentially short anecdotes from the three authors of their experiences with fasting. They offer tips and tricks to deal with sweets in the workplace; they go over some of the science of fasting, and how to prepare and plan for your fast. The authors are Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, and Eve Mayer.

My Biggest Takeaway from Life in the Fasting Lane
Is that we are not alone. Many people fast. Some for religious reasons, and some for health reasons. In a society of chronic metabolic diseases, it’s great to see a passionate community of like-minded individuals who want to take control of their health without counting calories (which doesn’t even really work). I appreciate what these three individuals have done for the fasting and the health-conscious and longevity community at large.
How Many Stars?
3.5 😐
I just did not love this book, like I loved The Complete Guide to Fasting. Maybe it was because The Complete Guide to Fasting goes into much more depth and detail, and I’m a nerd for this kind of stuff. But it just seemed like it lacked substance for me. It is good for people who know nothing about fasting, or who are beginners or who are on the fence and just want some general information on fasting. The chapters were just individual stories about their experiences in fasting, not in depth explanations which I would have preferred. I respect their work and appreciate them all, but I just didn’t click with this book as much as I did with some of the other books written by Dr. Fung.
