- a very quick read (took me less than two hours)
- does not try to convince you it's the ONLY worthwhile weight loss method in existence
- advocates a healthy *lifestyle*, including exercise, rather than pushing toward any type of diet whatsoever
- aims for flexibility, and achieves it more successfully than any other plan I've tried, read or heard of
- uses common sense, not popular "sense"
- recommends NOT stressing over food as the #1 most important thing you can do for your overall health (boy, we should all know that!)The bad:
- spends at least 10 pages on the exordium ("just a regular concerned guy = this is why you should believe me" section), which is not what I paid $40 for. Had to expect it, but I still skipped over much of Pilon's Life of a Subversive Health Nut story. Actually, the fact he collected Muscle and Fitness issues at age ten kind of creeped me out.
- one part near the end where he seems to contradict his own earlier declarations about the metabolic results of fasting
- a 'reassuringly long' reference section, which nobody will actually read and which probably allowed him to charge more for the ebook (adding 25 pages or so)
- quite a bit of discussion on exercise, even though he is careful to admit that it's not his area of expertise. A bit confusing there. The ugly:
- dismal grammar and punctuation at times. Not that I expect anything else from the genre.
- why the hell does he keep capitalizing 'Calories'?! For effect? Eye-catchiness? Loser.
All this said, I'd recommend this to others and I'm not sorry I bought it. The approach is something of a breath of fresh air: a theory of health that explicitly tells you NOT to focus on what you eat. If you've been looking beyond the glittery magazines and billboard adverts for Miracle Weight Loss / what-and-what-not-to-eat plans for any length of time (which I have), you'll be able to appreciate the simplicity and pragmatism backed by more than corporately-sponsored "studies." I think in many ways Eat. Stop. Eat complements John Robbins' Healthy at 100: The Scientifically Proven Secrets of the World's Healthiest and Longest-Lived Peoples. Now there's a fascinating nutritional and cultural voyage. A grammatically-correct one. Double bonus! I knew there was something else to which I was subconsciously comparing this ....
...moreAnd for those who say "fasting is bad," it puts your body in starvation mode... that only applies for extended fasting. And for people who say they get "cranky" or "low blood sugar" when they fast... more than likely it's just your psychological addiction to food/sugar/eating at a certain time, etc. causing these feelings ("5-10% of the population actually has a malfunction in their ability to regulate thier blood sugar levels").
Also, exercising while fasting is perfectly fine, too. I exercised at the very end my first 24-hour fast, and I was not anymore tired than I usually am doing a strenuous workout at 6am.
...moreI endorse the fasting regime not just because I tried it out (Alertness and weight loss was at an all-time high) but cos it's damn sustainable.

Next time someone tells you "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" or "bodybuilders should eat 6-8 small meals a day to gain muscles" or "not eating will crash your metabolism", please feel free to shave this book into his mouth.Brad Pilon did a great job laying the scientific foundation of intermittent fasting, busting all kindz of myths surrounding this subject and exploiting the massive amount of brainwashing the market is pumping, from turning hunger into a learned response in the masses, to financing cherry picking researches to cover up on IF, just because they can't put fasting in a pill and sell it.
And I really liked the way he summarizes every chapter..

Eat Stop Eat refers to a 24 hour cycle of fasting. Straightforward advice about nutrition and a lot of myth-busting about diets. Not a lot of rules about what one can and cannot eat.

What I found from reading this book include the following thoughts…mostly direct quotes from the book.
"The theory of 'starvation mode' is something that fuels obsessive compulsive eating in North America and throughout the world.
The theory of starvation mode is challenging to dispute because the definition continually changes. As each definition is proven to be junk science, a new definition pops up in it's place, and some definitions are more correct and scientifically feasible than others, so it becomes increasingly difficult for the average person to tell hype from fact. And while some aspects of starvation mode are a concern, others are simply a marketing technique designed to create fear… fear that without a special diet or special advice you could diet wrong and hurt yourself.
So for the sake of clarity, the definition I am referring to when I say 'starvation mode' is as follows:
Starvation mode is when metabolism supposedly slows down when you don't eat every couple of hours... to the point where you are actually gaining weight while in a caloric deficit.
More often than not you will see this definition supporting very complex diet programs. (What??) They take the common sense idea of eating less, and make it sound like a bad idea… of course then you need their advice on how to lose weight if eating less is no longer an option (clever).
This is just another example of fear mongering and confusion created by the food, diet, and supplement industry that ultimately leads to obsessive compulsive eating.
DO NOT fall for this fear mongering!
It only ads to the confusion people have about how much food or how little food they can eat without slowing their metabolism.
If "fasting" doesn't sound much fun to you, there are other methods that you might consider.
I really liked this print book, "The Complete Ketogenic Diet for Beginners: Your Essential Guide to Living the Keto Lifestyle" >>> http://amzn.to/2sfa7IC <<< this book is the guide to staying in Ketosis.
Another highly successful e-book is "Lean Belly Breakthrough" >>> https://tinyurl.com/y9chagf8 <<< I found this to be a great method for myself and managed to drop nearly 30 pounds using the methodology.
Finally, for a real economical solution I liked the approach of "Old School New Body". >>>https://tinyurl.com/y7var4sc <<< It includes a metabolism factor that really jump starts your body for leanness.
Still, according to <<<<- Eat Stop Eat ->>>> https://tinyurl.com/y9y8jzjd
The truth is that a large body of scientific research shows that you can eat lower amounts of calories for extended periods of time without large changes in your metabolism and without a significant decrease in muscle mass as long as you do some form of resistance training, and if you are not already exceptionally lean.
In fact, most of the fear of "starvation mode" tends to come from bodybuilders and people in the fitness industry – men and women who are dieting to the point where they temporarily get to dangerously low levels of body fat, and have caused major metabolic complications with their prolonged severe dieting, severe training, and severely low levels of body fat. It's the people in the extremes, warning about the extremes.
But the goal isn't zero percent body fat, and for the vast majority of us who are trying to lose fat, build muscle, and get lean and healthy this is not an issue.
Yes, spending extended periods of time eating very little amounts of food and taking part in high levels of exercise can cause metabolic complications, but this doesn't mean that eating less and exercising ALWAYS causes these types of problems.
In fact, you can lose significant amounts of weight without losing muscle mass or damaging your metabolism as long as you are using resistance training as part of your weight loss plan.
In a study just published in the Journal of Obesity, researchers examined the effects of losing 25 pounds on 94 women who either:
A) Followed a resistance training workout program
B) Followed an aerobic training program
C) Did not workout at all
These women were asked to follow a diet consisting of 800 Calories until they reduced their BMI down to less than 25. (The average was 25 pounds of weight loss.)
The women continued this diet for as long as 5 months straight (not something I would personally recommend without being medically monitored). The researchers found that the women who were following the resistance training workout program maintained their fat free mass during the time they were on the diet.
This means that even though they lost 25 pounds they were able to preserve their muscle mass. Therefore all 25 pounds that these women lost were from fat! (So much for those fat burning enzymes decreasing!)
They also found that the group of women who were following the resistance training workout program preserved their metabolic rate. In other words they did not see any metabolic "slowdown" as a result of losing 25 pounds, or from being on a 800 Calorie per day diet for 5 months (way lower and way longer than I would ever recommend)!
Interestingly, the researchers found decreases in fat free mass in the women who did not workout AND in the women who performed aerobic training.
More evidence that resistance training while following a weight reducing diet program can preserve lean mass and metabolic rate.
Sometimes it's not the diet, but what you do along with the diet that counts the most. "
In a way this read like a prolonged high school research paper. That said, the science is well founded and the book is well researched. However, I hope he hires an editor to deal with the numerous typos and syntax errors for the next edition.

It really is a great book. It's written in clear, unpretentious language. Its chapters Brad's website looks like a giant internet ad. The sort of thing you only really notice if you forgot to install an ad-blocker extension on your browser. Stock photos everywhere, big bellies right next to chiselled abs, giant text headlines with bold claims.

It really is a great book. It's written in clear, unpretentious language. Its chapters are varied and well organized.
Fasting sounds right from an evolutionary viewpoint and it's supported anecdotally by years of religion tradition. These are all things the author mentions, but then backs by old and new scientific studies made on the matter. There are over 300 citations here, methodically scattered through the various chapters , carefully disassembling years of common wisdom and industry-pushed concepts that were fed to the general public.
Take the next step, like I did, and start doing what he advocates and you'll see your weight lowed, your health markers improve and you'll even have extra time from not having to buy and prepare food in those fasting periods.
In the end, maybe the Eat. Stop. Eat website should be viewed as a trojan horse of sorts. A disruptive idea disguised as spam. An ironic twist on all those «Lose fat, build muscle!» internet ads that have desensitized us.
Perhaps losing weight really is easy with this one simple trick. ...more
Some points he argues-

-Hunger pangs every three/four hours is just conditioning. Even if it's not, hunger is something to be felt for the incoming feast.
-Metabolism does not shift around if fasting isn't chronic. Body uses ketone bodies when in a fast- resulting in fat loss, and replenish glycogen storage when in feast state..among other things.
-Fasting results in normalizing of blood glucose level and blood pressure. (hide spoiler)]
He prescribes two 24 hour fasts/week..and if that's not possible- 18 hour fasts followed by normal/ +calories above maintenance eating. I think that's not doable. I think intermittent fasting advocated by the BBC documentary Eat, fast and live longer is much more practical, with two fasting days consisting of 600 cals/ day (for women- 500 cals) and five days of normal/ above normal eating..even pig out during a meal or two.
...moreEat, Stop, Eat is a great book if your new to fasting, interested in it, are already doing it, or if you're interested in fat-loss in general. You're guaranteed to learn something new and Brad's writing is easy to understand and the information provided can be implemented into your life right away, so that you can immediately start living a more healthy and balanced life.

I have nothing against intermittent fasting and practice it myself from time to time, but I just could not get behind this book. The guy is super excited, but as a result, the research felt incomplete (although this is probably more a reflection of the nutrition field).Also, women, please remember that some women respond differently to intermittent fasting as described here (http://www.marksdailyapple.com/women-... and related links, particularly by Stefani Ruper who notes, "Many women find that with intermittent fasting comes sleeplessness, anxiety, and irregular periods, among a myriad of other symptoms hormone dysregulations." )
