Intermittent Fasting Cookbook

Learn intermittent fasting (IF) the right way. This unique, flexible, food-focused approach provides everything you need to implement it safely and enjoyably for great results and long-term success. Research shows that intermittent fasting is effective not only for weight loss but also for improving symptoms of diabetes, high cholesterol, inflammation, and more, while improving body composition. However, while research is growing on the benefits of intermittent fasting (eating less is good for us), there hasn't been enough information on timing, nutrition, and meal planning—until now. Abstaining from eating is only part of the problem! Fasting must be balanced with adequate food intake and nutritious, nutrient-dense ingredients. Nicole Poirier, a special diet chef and health advocate, shows you exactly how in her Intermittent Fasting Cookbook. Embark on your intermittent fasting journey with a comprehensive physiological look at fasting and its many benefits. Then explore the most popular intermittent fasting protocols, including 16:8, one meal a day, alternate-day fasting, 5:2, intuitive fasting, and extended fasting. A FAQ section answers all your questions, and tips on food journaling, meal planning, and mindfulness practices help you achieve success. Using the accompanying worksheet, you can customize your plan, set your goals, and measure your starting point. With your personalized intermittent fasting plan, Nicole teaches you how to maximize nutrition in less time using natural, colorful, whole-food ingredients, with an emphasis on anti-inflammatory and appetite-suppressing options.
