Intermittent Fasting for Women: How to Lose Weight, Boost Metabolism and Get Healthy by Silvia Pala
Not a fan of fasting but I may have read some bad information that you can't drink anything for over 24 hours and to me, we need water.
Starts with table of contents where chapters are broken up into important information about fasting. Recipes are broken up into meals. There is so much more information about this diet so be sure to read it all and talk to your doctor as well.
What I like about this book is that it can also help with inflammatory disease. We eat all the foods on this diet that we should be - it would just be the matter of our other medical problems that would hold me back from trying. As it is if we finish dinner by 7pm we don't eat again til 12 hours later, unless it's water or a cup of tea.
Like that there are many options for how you fast and why.
So many parts of your body this diet would effect, in a good way and each are discussed.
Like the idea of a journal (app on your tablet/phone) so you can track what it is you are eating and when.
Start of each chapter contains a medium size color photo.
A few chapters use a lot of medical terms that I did not fully understand or follow along.
Love the section on what to eat and not to eat and the tips and tricks to succeed.
Shopping list and foods to buy was very helpful.
Meal plans are also included for the different methods of fasting.
Each recipe starts with a title and brief description of the dish. Prep, cook and total time to make
Nutritional information contains calories, protein, carbs and fat-NOT broken up into good or bad, per serving.
Not sure why sodium could not be listed as that's an important one for us.
List of ingredients are given and watch abbreviations for some of the measurements as they are not always the same in other recipes.
I would also substitute for our healthier dietary needs: low sodium, low fat and low sugar products and fresh vs. canned.
Directions are given. There are NO pictures for recipes.
Like also that all meals are for only 2, but sometimes 4.
Recipes do NOT always start at the top of a new page.
Helpful information also about sleep and exercising on this diet are discussed.
Love FAQ section because of the questions and answers to ones I had myself.
Conclusion ends with links to the author's other works and social media links along with living life in the fast lane.
Glad to find out that you can still drink water and tea while fasting.
I received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
