These are good books to begin with when you start your Intermittent Fasting journey

1. Fast. Feast. Repeat by Gin Stephens is the book for beginners on an Intermittent Fasting journey. It’s the book that started it all for me.
2. Why We Get Sick by Benjamin Bikman is a must read if you want to really understand metabolic syndrome origins and what to do about it.
3. The Complete Guide To Fasting by Jason Fung is the book that tells you everything there is to know about fasting. I review it from time to time it to this day.

Now that you’ve read first three books, below come additional three you couldn’t miss

1. Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes tells you why the obesity and diabetes 2 are caused by sugar and starchy food.
2. Fat Chance by Robert Lustig will teach you why we get fat from biological point of view. And fructose is poison.
3. The Intermittent Fasting Revolution by Mark Mattson talks about evolutionary origins of fasting and delves into physiology of fasting. Mark fasts for mor than 30 years himself doing 18:6.

It’s time to delve a little bit into history of why sugar (fructose) is bad for you

1. The Case Against Sugar by Gary Taubes talks about history of sugar usage and why it’s the main cause of diabetes 2 and other diseases.
2. The Case For Keto by Gary Taubes is an opposite of the book above.
3. Metabolical by Robert Lustig looks at the obesity and metabolic syndrome in a systematic way and again highlights that sugar and particularly fructose is poison.

The books below will be helpful in applying practical advice to lose weight by fasting

1. The Every Other Day Diet by Krista Varady is dated, but still has good advice about alternate day fasting. Pay attention, that she is a representative of the flawed and wrong hypothesis of calories in equal calories out.
2. The Obesity Code by Jason Fung will explain you why we get obese and what to do about it.
3. Drop Acid by David Perlmutter explains why fructose is the main culprit behind elevated levels of uric acid which causes gout and what to do about it.
