The Complete Guide to Fasting: Heal Your Body Through Intermittent, Alternate-Day, and Extended Fasting pdf

Jason Fung, MD, è nato nel 1973 e si è formato a Los Angeles e Toronto come specialista in reni. Ha fondato The Fasting Method (TheFastingMethod.com) per fornire consigli basati sull'evidenza per la perdita di peso e la gestione degli zuccheri nel sangue, concentrandosi su diete a basso contenuto di carboidrati e digiuno intermittente. È diventato ovvio che i trattamenti medici convenzionali stanno fallendo i pazienti. Molti dei problemi medici cronici di oggi sono legati alla dieta e all'obesità, ma i trattamenti si concentrano su farmaci e interventi chirurgici. Se non affronti la causa principale, il problema non migliora mai. Un problema dietetico richiede una soluzione dietetica. Il Dr. Fung è l'autore di The Obesity Code, The Complete Guide to Fasting e The Diabetes Code. È anche editore scientifico del Journal of Insulin Resistance e amministratore delegato dell'organizzazione no-profit Public Health Collaboration (Canada), un gruppo internazionale dedito alla promozione di solide informazioni nutrizionali.

The Complete Guide to Fasting: Heal Your Body Through Intermittent, Alternate-Day, and Extended Fasting pdf da Jason Fung

Thousands of books have been written about the latest and greatest diets that will help people lose weight and improve health. But a key element in any successful nutritional health program is a tried-and-true method that most people haven’t thought about—yet it could be revolutionary for taking health to the next level. This ancient secret is fasting. Fasting is not about starving oneself. When done right, it’s an incredibly effective therapeutic approach that produces amazing results regardless of diet plan. In fact, Toronto-based nephrologist Dr. Jason Fung has used a variety of fasting protocols with more than 1,000 patients, with fantastic success. In The Complete Guide to Fasting, he has teamed up with international bestselling author and veteran health podcaster Jimmy Moore to explain what fasting is really about, why it’s so important, and how to fast in a way that improves health. Together, they make fasting as a therapeutic approach both practical and easy to understand. The Complete Guide to Fasting explains: • why fasting is actually good for health • who can benefit from fasting (and who won’t) • the history of fasting • the various ways to fast: intermittent, alternate-day, and extended fasting • what to expect when starting to fast • how to track progress while fasting • the weight loss effects of fasting • how to ward off potential negative effects from fasting The book also provides tools to help readers get started and get through their fasts, including a 7-Day Kick-Start Fasting Plan and healing liquid recipes.
