Fasting is not about starving oneself. When done right, its an incredibly effective therapeutic approach that produces amazing results regardless of diet plan. In fact, Toronto-based nephrologist Dr. Jason Fung has used a variety of fasting protocols with more than 1,000 patients, with fantastic success. In Dr. Fungs Complete Guide to Fasting, he has teamed up with international bestselling author and veteran health podcaster Jimmy Moore to explain what fasting is really about, why its so important, and how to fast in a way that improves health. Together, they make fasting as a therapeutic approach both practical and easy to understand.
