About this listen

Do you want to know how fasting can help you live your best life without feeling hungry?

Do you see the word "fasting" and think "why would I want to starve myself?"

There are quite a lot of reasons, and I wouldn’t quite say that you are starving yourself.

Fasting offers many more benefits than just losing weight. It can cure multiple diseases, boost physical performance, and even help you live longer.

You might think you will be hungry, miserable, deprived, and grumpy. This is not the case, and when you find out what fasting can do for your mind, body, and spirit, you will only be mad you didn’t start sooner!

Starting fasting can be daunting, but never fear. Everyone starts somewhere, and you can do it too.

In Why You Should Fast, you will discover:

  • What fasting is, and what it can do for you.
  • Methods of fasting, and the best one to suit your life.
  • A comprehensive list of diseases that fasting can treat.
  • How fasting can sharpen your mind.
  • How fasting can help you perform to the best of your abilities.
  • How fasting can help you get in touch with your spirituality.
  • How anyone can get started with fasting.
  • What to eat when fasting.

And much more!

Humans have been fasting for thousands of years, and anybody can start this wonderful practice, even with no knowledge or experience.

I am not a newbie to fasting but I have not read about why fasting is so good for us for a long time so I wanted to read up on it.
This book does a great job of informing the listener of all the great benefits of fasting. There were even some in there I’d not heard of before such as the diseases it can help to treat.
It’s very interesting and easy to listen to. The author has done a great job of educating people on the many benefits of fasting

Great book

Fasting is a practice that has been embraced by various cultures and religions for centuries, and this guide effectively elucidates the reasons why fasting continues to hold significance in the modern world.

One of the book's notable strengths is its comprehensive approach. It doesn't merely focus on one aspect of fasting but delves into its physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions. This well-rounded exploration is beneficial for readers seeking a holistic understanding of fasting.

It discusses how fasting can aid in weight management, improve metabolic health, and enhance longevity. The inclusion of scientific research and evidence-based information lends credibility to these claims, making it a reliable resource for those interested in the physiological aspects of fasting.

Moreover, the book doesn't overlook the mental and emotional advantages of fasting. It explores how fasting can promote mental clarity, improve focus, and help individuals develop greater discipline and self-control. These insights provide a compelling case for why fasting can be a valuable tool for personal growth and well-being.

The spiritual dimension of fasting is also addressed thoughtfully.

I’ve always believed there was great value in fasting but I never knew the related health benefits associated with fasting. I also didn’t know there were so many types of fasting that can be a part of everyday life. Based on the information I learned from this book, I’ve already determined what type of fasting I’m going to do going forward. While there is some weight-loss benefit and weight management benefits to fasting, that is not my main reason for doing it now. What I learned from this book is that regular and consistent fasting practices actually offer immense value to the health and functioning of our bodies. Through a controlled introduction, we can integrate fasting into our lives without causing ourselves any excessive amount of stress. Fasting for the right reasons is a change of lifestyle so it’s okay to start slowly until you reach the goal for the type fasting you choose to do. I really appreciate the author for putting this book together. It’s amazing how such a simple thing can result in such amazing health benefits to us including natural healing and an overall restoration of our bodies. I highly recommend this book.

Very Enlightening and Informative!
