A practical overview of fasting plans

Jason Fung’s guide surveys several approaches to fasting, from daily schedules such as 16:8 and 20:4 to alternate-day and extended fasts. It organizes practical topics around starting and managing a fast, including hunger, fluids, possible negative effects, and combining fasting with eating patterns such as keto or low-carbohydrate diets. A seven-day introductory plan and 20 recipes give the book a hands-on component alongside its explanations of fasting and the health outcomes the book discusses. The description presents fasting as a health strategy; those claims are the book’s subject, not a substitute for individualized medical guidance.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking an introduction to intermittent fasting and different fasting schedules
  • People comparing fasting protocols or considering how fasting relates to keto or low-carbohydrate eating
  • Readers looking for a guide that includes a starter plan and recipes
