SUMMARY: The Complete Guide to Fasting: Heal Your Body Through Intermittent, Alternate-Day, and Extended Fasting: by Dr. Jason Fung | The MW Summary Guide Kindle Edition

I listened to Dr. Fung on Mercola.com, and was interested enough to want to read more. Imagine my surprise when the first words of the book were, “This summary guide is in no way associated with and endorsed by Dr. Jason Fung.” It goes on to explain that this is a summary, and encourages the reader to read the original work.I was surprised at the low price, and at the small size of the book, but the fact that it’s a summary of the work is far beyond disappointing. I will attempt to return it. I hope there’s not more of this lurking within Amazon.

I heard the doctor who wrote the book here summarized tell about it on the Dennis Prager radio show. Prager was obviously impressed with the ideas and, being one of his fans myself, I decided to learn more. This summary is an easy quick route to knowing all Dr. Jason Fung's arguments. He's not the only one arguing for the usage of fasting for weight loss, enhanced longevity, and other benefits. The science ought to be transformational, and I'd suppose it'll be generally known of within the coming century. Although I may not read the Fung book, I endorse purchasing this very adequate summary.

Fortunately my sister bought the full book. When they say this is a summary, they aren't kidding.

I thought this was the book not someones idea of or summary of someone else's book.

I didn't think this was worth anything. I should have bought the original book.

Thorough coverage of various fasts and their effects as they pertain to overall health and wellness including special needs of those with special disease considerations. Likewise, pros and cons are handled in a matter of fact easy to comprehend fashion.

This is well written and is backed by peer reviewed scientific research.

Like a cliffs note, has important points for easy reference. Bought paperback and kindle copy.

This book is headline only. The key concepts are not evident with any kind of explanation. Very poor editing.

Well written f
