AV: I loved how clearly the authors described intermittent fasting and its benefits, and how encouraging they were that any of us can be successful. I am very grateful for the inspiration! I do want to add a word of caution. Please do not take their nutritional advice as gospel. Their advice to abstain from processed foods and added sugars is excellent, but they also make some suggestions for what to eat that may not be best for every reader. They are not nutritionists, which is fine! If you are going to take to heart their nutritional advice, I suggest you balance it out by reading a book like "How Not to Die," which was written by a nutritionist. I also recommend reading the book "FAST. FEAST. REPEAT." It states that every person's body is different and therefore responds differently to the same foods. It also explains that you can find scientific evidence that supports almost any type of diet plan, and it provides guidelines for figuring out how you as an individual (and with your nutritionist/doctor) should determine what to eat. If I followed the guidelines in "Life in the Fasting Lane" to eat plenty of pork and butter and other similar foods, I would feel incredibly sick. So, as...

Timothy Denton: This is good, practical information on fasting. Lots of first-person experiences. You should read this with Dr. Fung's book to get more scientific background. I gained a lot of weight during the lockdowns. I have lost over 40 pounds fasting. I have training in Physiology, have read the original research papers, and know the evidence is very strong that intermittent fasting is very good for health.

Geoff Costello: This is a text dense book, written by three authors from different perspectives which goes into the science and health benefits of fasting.

A good book for someone who wants to deep dive into the detail. But there is a lot of information there and you can tell the authors really want people to go on longer term fasts like 3-5 days for the health benefits.

So it’s was harder for my wife and I to find a starting point from it. Having found a more structured book focused on 16:8 intermittent fasting, we then found it useful to reach back into this for more detail on the science and how fasting can benefit long term health.

As an example the book has a lot of detail on carbohydrates, and talks about low carb diets and fasting and insulin levels. It was clear the authors really felt we all should be on low carb (not necessarily kept) long term diets when not fasting. In amongst that there was information we found useful about the order a meal is eaten. For example eat roast potatoes last, after the protein to reduce the possibility of the carbohydrates on an empty storage triggering insulin stronger hunger.

We are going to treat the book as a reference and...

M.H.Deal: I watch numerous Jason Fung videos because however repetitious some of his remarks are, there are always one or two statements different from other videos, therefore worth the wait to learn something new. Having been through the mill with diabetic advice for a relative from doctors and the American Diabetes Association, I endorse Fung's skepticism about institutionalized advice.
When I received Life In...., I dropped everything to read it. It's certainly different from his other books, less medically focused on the medical problems at hand, more aimed at convincing the doubting to take the plunge. Also, a little bit sloppy as Part IV appears in the Table of Contents as Part VI, an error repeated on page 130. Once again, a close reading yields some specific advice, such as the amount of salt to consume during a water fast and the amount of water to balance coffee consumption. As other reviewers have remarked, the specific medical discussions in the chapters of Fung's previous books, The Obesity Code & The Diabetes Code, are not in Fasting...
Therefore, I propose that Fung's publisher re-issue all four books, that includes The Guide to Fasting and perhaps a fifth book, The...
