Sample Book Insights:
#1 Fasting is completely different from starvation in that it is voluntary abstention from eating for spiritual, health, or other reasons. Food is readily available, but you choose not to eat it.
#2 Fasting is effective, simple, flexible, practical, and virtually guaranteed to work. However, it is not healthy to fast for prolonged periods of time, and most people can’t tolerate the side effects.
#3 The 1970s was when the typical American ate three meals a day, with no snacks. Today, we actively encourage snacking in both adults and children. The average American eats five or six times per day.
#4 When we eat, we ingest more food energy than we can immediately use. Some of this energy needs to be stored away for later. The key hormone involved in both the storage and use of food energy is insulin, which rises during meals.
