i am a orthomolecular- nutritionist, and generaly my system is not exactly in the direction of fasting,but the only rule is that there are no rules. sometimes i do recommand to my patients a few days fast,( especialy to my very severe allergic patients). eventhough i admit that i didn't ordered toany of my patients to fast more than 5 days, i am convinced that some cases can benefit from this book.the actualy 2 books combined together explains the mechanisms of fasting, and teach the reader what really happens in the body systems while you are on fasting for 3 days,a week, 2 weeks, and 3 weeks,andwhen and how to understand what and when it became a starvation, and when it is just a cleansing fast. the exact way of introducing yourself back to foods are discovered with great details, and what kinds of illness and diseases are not alowed to do the fast.this is why i said in the begining that this is a responsable book. it is very recommanded!
The most indepth book on fasting that I've ever found! July 28, 2007

I purchased this book upon the recommendation of a reviewer of another book on fasting, and I'm so glad I did!! It contains the MOST comprehensive information on fasting that I've ever found!! Now this book on fasting is based on fasting in the TRUEST sense of the word - just drinking water!! Not too many people advocate that anymore, and I think it's a lost art. Real fasting (as opposed to a modified fast of having fruit juices) is from biblical times, and prior to biblical times too. I find it very powerful (not in a "magical" kind of way) but powerful in that you're cleansed when you fast, and your senses are keener, you're able to think clearer than you ever have, and you have time for other things - besides eating!!
Fasting is not for the faint hearted, or people who are NOT under their doctor's supervision - kinda difficult sometimes though because so many people in the medicall community view fasting as an archaic practice that is also dangerous. Sure it could be dangerous if you jump into it without making sure that you're able to do it, and if you ignore your body's warning signs should there be any.
This book has taken me beyond the fasting that I was capable of doing in the past - juice fasting, right through to water fasting. I know I will treasure this book and refer to it many, many times in the future.
Note: This edition contains 2 books on fasting, by the same author!!
Great for the first fast! October 7, 1999

I was totally skeptical of fasting, but reading this book helped me overcome my reluctance. I now fast 2-3 times a year or whenever I feel out of control with eating. I find fasting much easier than dieting, and this book showed me the way, for which I am grateful.
Fasting- made interesting! April 15, 1999

This book by far the most interesting book I have ever read. It not only explains the hows and whys of fasting but how it can become a joyous part of your life. It helped me to lose 10 pounds and keep it off. I eat whatever I want, whenever I want on the days I eat and for one or two days a week I fast, I eat noting and drink only water and is easier than you may think. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to lose weight or just to experience something new and exciting.
Great for the beginner as well as experienced faster November 1, 1998

This book covered everything I had been searching for in the last year on fasting. Though the cover focuses on weight loss, the book includes many other benefits. It also went into the misconceptions and resulting fears about going without food (with funny, but disturbing examples of paranoia). It can shed some serious light on the current media craze to quickly finger someone as "anorexic". It confirmed ideas in my personal experiences with fasting-including why water fasting is easier and better than juice fasting. It has a chapter with many personal accounts of the fasting experience. The print is easy to read and it's not at all wordy (boring). My longest fast was an 11-day juice fast. I am starting again, with much more information to make this a way of life.
