Gin is also a mother to two adult sons (and she is thankful every day for the intermittent fasting lifestyle that makes her life easier).

This eating window approach is an intermediate version for people that want to get into it faster and reduce their eating window a bit more. After reading this book I am excited to embrace the lifestyle change myself, and already know I will find myself referring back to 'Delay, Don't Deny' to keep myself inspired and and on-track. Sto adesso seguendo questo modo di mangiare e questo libro mi aiuta tantissimo e sopratutto il gruppo di facebook dello stesso nome provvede grande sopporto per chi comincia e non sa ancora come fare.I'm amazed how much energy I had - green tea is key for me to keep my energy levels and hunger at bay for my fasting times. because they interfere with the healthy gut flora that controls weight loss hormones, so overall are pretty much a no-no.

Understand that uncontrollable or constant hunger is a sign that you have made some dietary choices that aren’t working for you. I could never embrace the one meal a day format, which is quite often advocated in this book, but I do tend to naturally want food from midday to 8 or 9 pm each evening .As so many people consider "The Obesity Code" as some sort of a "bible" for the IF lifestyle I started with it, but Gin's book was destined to be next. she also says she's giving info about the different methods (and she does to some extent) but really pushes the method she finds most helpful, to the point that she will kick people out of/not allow entry into her Facebook group if they don't agree. I also started reading the Obesity Code while reading this and I stated fasting the day a friend told me about this book and Gin's story!

However, she says quite readily in her book that if you aren't losing weight on fasting alone, you may need to adjust what you eat.After 20+ years of yo-yo dieting and gaining and losing weight and feeling like a failure, this book has changed my life forever. I have read this book at least three times and each time I uncover something else that I need to apply to my life. I like that the author presents a disclaimer up front that she is not a medical expert and to talk to your doctor before starting this type of health plan. Intermittent fasting makes so much sense to me and it's something I will be able to adopt for the long term.

As you learn how to lower your toxic load through small changes, smart swaps, and simple solutions, you’ll breathe a (clean) sigh of relief and embrace your own personal evolution toward becoming clean(ish). If you have been struggling with not being able to lose weight, you have a tire around your belly, you can't eat a lot of foods because they are inflammatory, you feel fatigued all the time, you feel like you are not thinking as clearly as you should. But as the months passed with very little progress in my weight loss journey, I kept thinking I might need to revisit DDD. In fact, there was an alternate method that also became popular—the “alternate-day fasting protocol” or what we also know as the “up-and-down” approach. I've been curious to learn more about the concept of intermittent fasting, and the book does a very good job of giving a comprehensive overview as well as a good list of resources to go to for more information.

As a 'questioner' in the Gretchen Rubin "The Four Tendencies" framework I usually only listen to experts with credentials, or other credible sources like WireCutter or Consumer Reports -- People and organizations that are reliably credible.
