Claudia: I'm so happy I decided to get this book! I heard about it in a podcast and decided to give it a try. The book backs every statement with scientific research and the author's personal experience. It has helped me not only lose weight but also change my lifestyle. Thank you Gin Stephens!

Marsha Helmuth: I have been doing 16:8 but unsuccessful. I knew I must read more about it since I don't read much but reading this book on kindle is easy. She's fun author while still serious discussing. I feel I can related to her with my yo-yo weight & many different diets. I'm looking forward to share my success story one day. Now I'm a few hours away for my first time ever 24 hours fast!!

Rosemary: Gin Stephen’s later, revised and more in depth book is infinitely better, so I’d recommend that you avoided this one as she’s amended the fasting rules a bit, and it makes total sense.

Donna Mc: One meal a day. Drink lots of water/black or green tea/black coffee and only eat one meal a day! No counting calories! Eat what you like until you’re pleasantly full and do that every day! Couldn’t be easier! I’m all in and doing well. What a fantastic book that breaks down the myths about eating and weight loss.

L. Baird-Mayeda: First, I have read all of the science-y books: Gary Taubes', Good Calories, Bad Calories and Why We Get Fat, Jason Fung's, The Obesity Code, The Diabetes Code, The Complete Guide to Fasting, Jimmy Moore's and Dr. Eric Westman's, Keto Clarity, Joel Fuhrman's Fasting and Eating for Health and Super Immunity, Jeff Volek's and Stephen Phinney's The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living, David Perlmutter's, Grain Brain, Randi Frederick's, Fasting: An Exceptional Human Experience, Johnny Bowden's, The Great Cholesterol Myth, Valter Longo's, The Longevity Diet, Dan Buettner's, The Blue Zones: Nine Lessons for Living Longer... I also am a member of dietdoctor.com for the last two years, which has a plethora of information on keto and low carb diets, and fasting. Dr. Fung is a regular on this website, along with Gary Taubes and other major and minor luminaries in the weight loss world based on keto and low carb principals, and fasting. My credentials: I am not a scientist, but an elementary school teacher for 21 years. I have a degree in English, and a masters in Educational Administration, so not a ding-dong either. Anyway, the point of the super long intro is that I had read all of...

Gailyn: I love this book. I love the way Gin writes and I love the results following this way of life and eating.
Easy to read and Gin provides backup with Facebook support groups and podcasts.
Ten ways that IF and this book have changed my life:

1. Weight loss of course. I now love my body. I’m right in the middle of the preferred BMI range and the bloat is gone. I’m not at ‘my goal’ but think I may be close to ‘my body’s goal’.

2. Higher self esteem and confidence. I walk into a room and don’t feel I need to shrink into corners. I’m also finding I’m more assertive in giving my opinion.

3. A stream lined wardrobe. No more fat clothes, no more shoes that hurt my feet, no more clothes I buy just because they fit. Now I buy good pieces and I buy them because I love them.

4. Exercise. I don’t go to the gym but I do walk 10 kilometres five mornings a week. I don’t do it for weight loss, I do it for healthy bones and lungs and heart.

5. I love, love, love preprepared meals. I would never have tried them without Gin and DDD and now I can’t imagine living or cooking without them

6. Pantry with just enough. Thanks to my new...

Karen: I ordered this book after reading raving reviews of a plan that allows you to eat whatever you want, provided you do so in OMAD (one meal a day). Since I'd been following a low carb diet over a year, often adhering to OMAD (but not eating anything I wanted) and combining my efforts with IF (intermittent fasting), I had to wonder if I was missing something since this book says you can eat whatever you want during that one meal. Well, okay, after a year or more of NO sugar and few carbs, this book was very enticing, as I'd still like to eat some ice cream or pie now and then!

Though the book can be inspiring as far as a weight loss success story, I quickly found myself pitying a lot of readers that would clearly become frustrated if they've not read Obesity Code by Jason Fung prior to reading this book. While the author references Obesity Code and Jason Fung, as well as his intermittent fasting book, (among several other books/authors) my takeaway was that the author of this book was first able to learn the science behind why we gain weight (via Jason Fung and others) while formulating her own plan to lose the weight she wanted to lose. For the author, this meant she would...
