I really didn't mean to buy this book. I was looking for the book by Dr. Mosley after seeing an article on the BBC. That book was not yet available but I saw this one down below. I didn't expect much - probably just some airhead without any professional training or actual experience with the method trying to make a few bucks by capitalizing on the publicity of the BBC program and writing a pile of fluff. But, since I had had great success with a similar type of diet plan some years ago, I though I would just have a look and then, probably, write a scathing review.
Well, I greatly underestimated the author and the quality of this book. She is actually a professional writer, although not usually in this field. You can't believe how much this helps you actually keep on reading the book. She has done a really professional job of giving facts and making them interesting. She intersperses her own experiences (diary notations) and those of others who have also actually used this method with solid descriptions of the method and the science behind it. Towards the end she supplies some recipes for the low calorie days.
Having been through a similar, but not exactly the same, process in the past, I can say that the experiences the author and the others report ring true. Their comments give you a very good idea of what to expect while you are going through this. I lost more than 80 pounds on a very similar plan and kept it all off for about twelve years before I got lazy. This is a plan a body can truly stay on for a very long time. No faddish nonsense here. I still weigh less than I did when I first used this method about 40 years ago but I certainly need to get it back in place again.
I want to start with what people really want to know...will you lose weight with this way of eating? The answer is a resounding YES! I am a 49 year old peri-menopausal woman and my weight had been slowly creeping up over the last year. I started trying all the things that had worked for me in the past to curb the climbing numbers on the scale but this time nothing seemed to be working. Through a series of coincidences, I came across the idea of intermittent fasting and then Kate Harrison's book. That was the first week of March. By the first part of May, I had dropped 20 pounds and I have been maintaining my loss since then with absolutely no difficulty.
Intermittent fasting does take a bit of willpower and dedication, but the longer you stick with it, the easier it becomes. You may experience some headaches and other minor issues when you begin but these will disappear in a relatively short amount of time. It is definitely a mental challenge more than anything and you will learn a lot about yourself and your relationship with food as you go along. For me though, the rewards outweigh any difficulties without question! I know that there isn't another "diet" out there where I could have NOT counted calories or denied myself a treat 5 days out of 7 and still lost an average of 2 pounds a week?!?!
The book itself was well written and I recommend it to all of my friends who see the new, slimmer me and ask "what's your secret?" I have the Kindle version and was pleased with the editing and layout. As others have mentioned, this was written by someone from the UK so you will need to do a little "interpreting" if you live in the U.S. but I really didn't find this to be a big issue.
