This book pretty much reads like one long advertisement for Don Colbert's OTHER books. On literally every single page, Don touches very lightly on a topic, and then directs you to read another book he's written on the subject if you'd like to learn more. There were a *few* fasting facts, but nothing new if you've ever read ANY other book about fasting. I urge you to save yourself the eight bucks, and instead possibly check out The Fasting Path by Stephen Harrod Buhner, which is a much more interesting and helpful fasting book.

The first thing to kinow that this is a book about juice fasting; he does address other forms of fasting briefly, he also mentions the difference bethween water fasting and juice fasting. If you are interested in water fasting, or a more in depth overview of fasting in general, then the book "Fasting and Eating for Health" by Dr Joel Furhrman is a better book, also in the January 2012 issue of Scientific American there is an excellent article about the mechanism of fasting at the cellular level called "A new path to longevity". And as another reviewer mentioned, Dr Colbert uses this book as an advertisement for his other books instead of offering in depth explanations. But overall it is a pretty good book.

I have read several of Dr. Colbert's books and enjoy them. I wanted to get the fasting book because I have never fasted but would like to give it a try to see if it would help with some health issues I am experiencing. I like this book because it is not recommending extreme fasting and offers a couple approaches, one that can transition you into fasting. I would recommend the book for beginners, such as myself. It is a quick read and gives enough facts to support the possibility fasting may be a benefit on several levels.

This is an easy read book with great information it in. Great seller too. Thanks so much. Vickie

Good book and easy reading. Was expecting something a little different, not sure what. Will probably read it again.
