ZFast A Simple Proven Intermittent Fasting Method Audible Audio Edition John Zehren Matthew Posener Books Reviews

• I am a 44 yo physician/M.D. who let himself go a little too much since I turned 41 and had my first son. My story is nearly identicle to the author’s in the sense that I am 5’10” tall and basically need to stay under 185 pounds to not look and feel overweight.
  I have done some crash course fasting/starving myself in the past to lose weight fast when i needed to (e.g. about two months before my wedding and, inadvertently, during residency).
  that was tough but my vanity got me through it.
  after the wedding i got up to 205 pounds a couple years later. i like to have a cocktail or two just like the author and enjoy life. The bottom line is another M.D. buddy of mine told me about the Z-Fast method. i got the digital version of the book and tried it out. what i love about the book is that it lays out a fairly simple method of when to fast. a template for success if you will. The author makes it idiot-proof. lays out your cheat sheet for fasting.
  Everybody is different but the bottom line is energy in versus energy out is what matters. you cannot deny the laws of thermodynamics. i’d much rather suck it up and eat very little a few days here and there and then allow myself on my “on days” to not worry about how much i consume. in the end my calories “in” are less than my calories “out” and keeping my physical activity constant (energy burned) i end up losing weight and easily keeping it off.
  I also believe, and it is backed up biochemically speaking in the book, that periodic fasting is good for the body. it promotes glycolysis in the liver and essentially causes the body to enagage in both catabolic (breaking down) and anabolic (later building up) activity within your body. i liken it to “keeping the pipes clean” similar to starting and driving and old car every week rather than letting it sit and rust and all the tubes erode and eventually break down. if you haven’t tried it you should. it is a small amount of pain and sacrifice to not eat as much as usual on designated days in order to enjoy the finer culinary delights the rest of the week.
  If you are not used to fasting, the first few times are difficult but you get used to it after that. my residency training was essentially an involuntary fasting primer so for me it was not a big deal.
  
  Again, the bottom line is the Z-Fast works and really is not difficult to implement into your daily routine. you feel great, lose weight, and keep your body running smoothly internally. If you’re reading this review it must have peaked your interest. Give it a try. You will not be disappointed. Good Luck!
• …busy executives and professionals who have had marginal success with diets, while experiencing that middle-age weight creep. Johnny Z’s book is an informative and entertaining read, as he takes us through his own struggles with weight gain and diets and shares his approach for how he maintains his weight by intermittent fasting.
  
  He presents three intermittent fasting methods that he calls Z-Fast. Johnny Z gave me a peek at his manuscript a few months ago and I read it in one sitting. Since then, I’ve put his advice into action, creating a new fasting routine, now doing one weekly 36-hour fast, supplemented by one weekly 24-hour fast, a few days later. I skip 5 meals a week this way and it’s not hard at all. The weight is coming off, but what I like best is the energy boost!
  
  If you want to be healthier, more energetic and vibrant, buy and read Johnny Z’s book and do the Z-Fast intermittent fast he describes. I wish I had this book 10 years ago! Two thumbs for Johnny Z’s Z-Fast!
• I am a 56 yo physician and have known the author professionally for more than 10 years. I’ve been interested in fasting mostly for the health benefits although I did have a few pounds that I wanted to lose.
  
  In our modern, “advanced” society food and calories are ubiquitous and constantly flooding our system. Not surprisingly this has led to a tidal wave of overweight and obese people so that it now has become the new normal. The CDC estimates that one-third of american adults have prediabetes, while another 10% of the population has diabetes, most of which is related to excess weight and poor diet.
  
  In a light and conversational tone that belies the seriousness of the content, Mr. Zehren describes the Z Fast system for weight loss that is surprisingly simple and easy to follow. You can see his strong background as an effective business professional shining through as he lays out his method for long term weight loss. This book excels at providing, clear, practical, and actionable rules to make this something most people can do. Impressively, the author has used this system for more than eight years to lose weight and keep it off.
  
  A key insight that I learned from this book is that we have been conditioned to respond to feelings of hunger by eating. You don’t need to do that and you can break the hand-to-mouth cycle. It is not difficult, and is good for your health.
  
  If you are taking medication, or suffer from an eating disorder, you probably should check with your physician before starting this program to get a green light. It is also a good opportunity to get baseline blood tests, so you can document any change in your blood chemistries as well as your weight.
  
  What this book is
  A concise and practical guide to lose weight quickly and successfully.
  An introduction to some of the health and metabolic benefits from fasting.
  What this book is not
  An in-depth dive into the metabolism of fasting. It is not meant to be a textbook, but a practical guide
  A guide to what you should eat. While most people will reap further benefits by paying attention to diet quality on their non-fasting days, it is not required for the Z-fast to be successful. In fact, that is one of the core insights in this book you can concentrate your dieting efforts on the days that you are fasting and don’t need to be dieting all the time.
  
  My suggestion is to purchase a simple bathroom scale with Bluetooth connection to your phone as this facilitates tracking your weight (and body fat). And anything to increase compliance is good.
  
  Mr Zehren has spent his entire working life bringing advanced medical devices to market. I think this gem of a book has the potential to have an even larger impact on the health of many people.
• Think of all the different types of diets are floating around, all of them telling you what to eat, how much to eat, ...
  If you want to lose weight try NOT eating. It's so simple.
  
  I grabbed this book to see if I could find any other ways to do Intermitent Fasting.
  My goal was ketosis not weight loss.
  BUT by following similar IF routines I have lost 15 pounds in 6 weeks-- a pretty nice side benefit.
  I also did kind-of/sort-of ketogenic approach by cutting down carbs and trying to eat good fats.
  
  This book will help you shed the pounds by Not-doing and gives a workable approach that everyone can follow because it
  gives a structure to and rationale for the IF process.
  
  Non Appétit!
