Intermittent Fasting: How to Restore Your Body, Lose Weight, and Boost Your Brain (pocket)

Why would you deliberately starve yourself? How can you even think that voluntary fasting is useful? Surely many people who pick up Dr. Fung's book for the first time think about this. Skepticism is inherent in human nature. But, firstly, intermittent fasting has nothing to do with a long-term refusal to eat (that is, hunger pangs are not expected), and secondly, if you turn to physiology - to understand how the human body works in a given situation - the system will turn out to be not just viable, but the only correct one - if, of course, you want to live long and happily in a state of full health. Our body needs to have "breaks" in food at the hormonal level. Frequent snacks disrupt the functioning of the entire body: consciousness becomes clouded, cognitive skills decrease, weight increases, immunity falls. During periods of "hunger", attention and memory are sharpened, all metabolic processes are improved, organs, tissues and systems are restored. Fasting does not require financial costs, does not force you to give up your favorite food the rest of the time and helps to bring the body to a state of full health and ideal weight in the shortest possible time. Dr. Fang's simple and understandable system, which has variations for different psychotypes, will allow everyone to find the optimal ratio of fasting and feasting. And... it is as old as the world. But, like everything new, it has been well forgotten until now.
