This book is exceptionally written. It's accessible to people from all types of backgrounds, non-judgmental, based in science, and provides anecdotal as well as testimonial experiences to help ground the theories discussed. There are a few recipes to help illustrate some of the meals, and there are references if you are interested in the original scientific study being quoted. I would definitely recommend this to anyone considering fasting.

About the author

Dr. Jason Fung earned his medical degree at the University of Toronto, where he also completed his internal medicine residency before heading to UCLA for a fellowship in nephrology (a branch of medicine concerned with the kidneys). He currently practices as a kidney specialist in Toronto. During the course of treating thousands of patients, it became clear to Dr. Fung that the epidemic of type 2 diabetes and obesity was getting worse. The prevailing dietary recommendations for reducing dietary fat and calories were clearly ineffective. In response, he founded the Intensive Dietary Management program (intensivedietarymanagement.com) to provide a unique treatment focus for type 2 diabetes and obesity that promotes simple yet effective dietary changes rather than focusing on medications.
