Fasting has its roots in the past, when it was a popular practice to do so in order to aid in physical healing. It also has religious origins since it is said to strengthen religious ties. The theory behind intermittent fasting is that by limiting our intake, our bodies will use our fat reserves for energy more rapidly and effectively. Although the most immediate source of fuel for us is glucose from carbs, when glucose isn't available, we turn to fat for energy. This book explains the advantages, restrictions, methodology, effects of fasting on our health, as well as the difficulties that some medical problems present during fasting.
