In this Fasting and
Eating for Health: A Medical Doctor's Program for Conquering Disease by Joel
Fuhrman, Neal
D. Barnard book, he
explains some of the benefits you can gain from fasting, and he explains
exactly why you should not engage in fasting for more than 3-4 days without
going to a medical clinic. Dr. Fuhrman is a medical doctor, and
a former olympic ice skater who overcame an injury that was almost fatal to his
olympic career, via fasting.
This is not
a book to help you plan a fast. This Fasting and Eating for Health is a book that
can help to motivate a fast and to motivate more healthy eating. This book has
a few very critical pieces of information (e.g. never eat between zero and 1200
calories because above 1200 calories you have enough carbohydrates ->
glocose for your brain, and at zero calories your brain converts to ketosis and
has enough glucose, but between 0 and 1200 calories your brain and organs
compete for cabohydrates and you can easily damage your internal organs.)
The Fasting and Eating
for Health book is so motivational that I think many people will try
unsupervised fasting after reading this book. I think the doctor should admit
that his book will be too successful, and he should give a few more tips about
how to run a short unsupervised fast, or what entry criteria / monitoring could
be used for a short and self-supervised fast. That's the only flaw in this
book.
