Fast. Feast. Repeat.: The Comprehensive Guide to Delay, Don't Deny Intermittent Fasting--Including the 28-Day Fast Start

Product Information

Stephens explains that ultra-processed foods contribute to overeating and obesity, and she recommends eating them infrequently, if at all. Instead, eat mainly foods from the first three categories, shop in the produce and deli sections of the grocery store, and avoid eating things that your great-great-grandparents wouldn’t recognize as food. Like many of you, I spent most of my adult life obsessed with food, dieting, and my weight. After watching my mother struggle with her own weight for most of my childhood and teen years, I internalized that this is just what we do: we go on diets, we criticize our bodies, and we are either being good or being bad with every bite we take (or don’t take). Of course, it’s not my mother’s fault, because this obsession is everywhere we turn. You can’t scroll through your newsfeed without seeing ads for AMAZING! weight-loss products. You can’t go to the grocery store without seeing the tabloids proclaiming: DROP 3 DRESS SIZES BY NEXT TUESDAY WITH THIS SECRET HERB FROM THE RAIN FOREST! You can’t get together with friends without discussing the latest MIRACLE DIET! that your most enthusiastic friend is on, where he eats nothing but foods harvested by the light of the moon. Yep. We are bombarded by amazing and miracle diets from every angle. If we could just find that magical plan or supplement or herb, the struggle would be over, once and for all. But we never do, so we keep bouncing from diet to diet and plan to plan. And we have a junk drawer full of those expensive products that we can’t bear to throw away, because one day we might want to try them again, and maybe they will work this time.

According to Stephens, bitter flavors from coffee or tea don’t activate the insulin response. Nor do non-flavored beverages, salt, or medications. Considering the conflicting research, it’s probable that whether TRE works for weight loss depends on additional factors—such as what you eat and how much. While Stephens decries dieting, it’s unlikely that intermittent fasting works independently of a good diet.

Something cannot break your fasting if it has zero calories, right? Incorrect, really. To tell the truth, your body has an insulin response to particular tastes even if they are calorie-free! Insulin is a significant hormone; it works together with glucagon to balance your blood sugar levels the times you eat. However, it stops your body against to break of your reserves of fat too. While Stephens gives plenty of information about fasting, she doesn’t dive into how you can successfully change your behavior. In Tiny Habits, BJ Fogg explains that successful behavioral change occurs when you have sufficient motivation, ability, and a prompt that gets you started. He explains this as Behavior = MAP.

We have a great deal of scientific research that explains how this happens in the body. Some of the earliest research on this phenomenon began in 1944. As World War II came to an end, a scientist named Ancel Keys wanted to take a close look at how the human body responded to extreme deprivation and the subsequent reintroduction of food. He and his colleagues from the University of Minnesota conducted a famous study now known as the Minnesota Starvation Experiment. ² The topic was of immense interest because they knew that war-torn Europe faced the huge task of refeeding a population who had undergone a period of extreme deprivation due to the war. Prior to this experiment, little was known about the physiological and psychological effects of starvation. So, the purpose of this study was to gain insight into the physical and emotional effects of semistarvation and to see what would happen when food once again became available. Gin’s 28-day FAST start is the perfect way to ease into and adjust the fast/feast pattern—letting your body begin to heal and become good at tapping into its fat stores.
