Living an Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle - Delay - Don't Deny

Quck, very relate-able book about one woman's weight loss journey and how she finally found long-term success when she discovered intermittent fasting and the "one meal a day" lifestyle. What I like most about the book is that it's very inspirational and enables you to realize just how easy it is for ANYONE (even you) to be successful. There are plenty of instruction manual type fasting books out there, but this one is fun to read and empowering. It's like chatting with an old friend.

I have been an Intermittent faster for almost 10 years and honestly didn't expect to get anything out of this book. I was wrong. Gin has a way of explaining complicated scientific information so that the reader is not put off by never ending studies. She tells it how it is and directs you to the resources to "do your own research" She stresses the fact that "calories in/calories out" does not work! Insulin is and always will be the key to a healthy weight. This is a lifestyle, not a diet and as the title implies there is no denying of any type of food. Period. You are merely postponing your meal and allowing your body to repair and renew when you are fasting. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the benefits of Intermittent fasting and OMAD.

Interesting approach to weight loss. I'll follow some of her advice for a while and see what happens...especially that on quitting artificial sweeteners. Only eating one meal a day? I can do that. But doing it forever? Not likely.
I would say this is an interesting view into the author's personal experience with all kinds of diets, focusing on intermittent fasting. But, if I had it to do over, I'd just buy The Obesity Code, which explains the medical and physiological aspects in so much more detail, and is about the same price as this book. I liked this book, but a little overpriced for the content.

This is an introduction to the Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle. It doesn't go into the science but gives links to research on your own further. The author promotes OMAD (One Meal a Day) eating and gives her own story and many other testimonies after explaining what IF is. I think this is a great book to get to start learning about Intermittent Fasting but keep in mind it is just an intro.

Enjoyable reading . Familiar diet experience for most of us - always a failure and rebound with diets. This make sense - stop eating so frequently and spiking insulin leading to weight gain . Just cutting to 3 normal meals a day instead of following the grazing advice (snacks 3 times a day) already feels better. Recommended reading

Informative, approachable, accessible. Really clear and really inspiring. Great book for explaining the science, offering lots of other resources to read up on. Got me started, I'm down 6 pounds in one week doing a five hour window and nothing but water & unsweetened tea plain green or black tea in the fasting window.

I liked her humorous relaxed writing style. It made the book a pleasure to read. It is also a great book for general information about the subject. I liked the way she used her own life experience to illustrate how she came to a fasting lifestyle as well as information on websites and books for more in depth information if desired. I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking about Intermittent Fasting as a weight loss program.

DDD was a great read. Very real and informative. Gin tells you what she knows and how she knows it. She gives you the basics and tells you everyone is different- find what works for YOU!
She also moderates two FB groups and interacts with her members - amazing! She's not just selling her book(s) to make money, she truly wants people to find what works for them and SUCCEED!! Thanks Gin, for all you do!!! ❤️

Excellent, excellent, read! Down to earth, relatable, and appeals to my common sense. I'm so excited to enhance my current LCHF way of eating with IF. I am 47 but confident I will have excellent results. I also like her references to Dr. Fung among other doctors I've researched and respect. She's presented not a diet, but an attainable lifestyle with a freedom and benefits far beyond weight loss. I recommend this book for anyone frustrated with convential diets that are unstainable and haven't worked. Thank you Gin!

I’ve now purchased both the Kindle version and the Audible version of Delay Don’t Deny, as it is slowly changing my life. I constantly go back to reference different sections. Gin just makes sense and puts things in layman’s terms so as to not tax my brain too much ? I am well on my way to better overall heath, weight loss and pretty substantial savings on grocery store bills, after stumbling upon this.

This book is a life-changer! The author is knowledgeable and writes the book in a way that anyone can understand. Thanks, Gin, for helping me to get my life back! I finally found a lifestyle that I can sustain and reap all the benefits (losing weight and healing my body from the inside out).

Gin does a great job explains the science and benefits of intermittent fasting, but in a causal enough manner that most people are able to comprehend. She’s funny and seems like someone I’d like to hang out with one day. Highly recommend this book for those interested in learning more about IF. Thanks Gin!

This is really eye opening and I have already started the plan while reading. I know my hormones are out of whack so I am so excited to see this level out, as is my family!? This book is an easy read for explaining this lifestyle. I am not a huge science girl so this was an enjoyable read for me. I am so excited to see where this will take me. I am going to reference some other books she listed for more info for sure.

I devoured this book over the weekend. Wow. Now it all makes sense. This lady had presented this info in a clear, concise, and down-to-earth manner. I now know this is the lifestyle that I will be adopting. I loved her sense of humor & not being overly scientific & putting me to sleep. Lol. I can’t recommend this book enough to those like myself wanting to lose weight & lead a healthier life. Bravo, Mrs Stephens!!

This book changed my life! I've lost 25lbs since January 2017. All I've changed is when I eat. I love not being on a diet and not being discouraged by my "lack of will-power". This book explains it all so well. I am so glad I found it just when I had lost hope of any diet working for me.

I really really enjoyed this book!! Gin has such a relatable style of writing and she really broke down the intermittent fasting lifestyle in a way that I now completely understand. I have been following the OMAD protocol for the last week and can't believe how easy this way of eating is. I can totally do this for life! Thank you Gin!!

This book is very important for the people who want to find a sane and reliable way to finally get the weight off, for good. It helps point you in the direction of permanently healing out of control eating. The end of diets that are impossible to adhere to, the end of endless hours of strenuous excersize that yield no lasting results. The resources are archived here to show you how to learn for yourself that this way of eating can bring your body back into balance, get your appetite back under control all in easy to understand language. Great book , written by someone who has been there.

Soooo informative and easy to read! It reads like a great conversation! Plenty of reference to the science behind fasting but not so deep you need a PhD to understand - explained in simple easy to understand talk!
Goodbye dieting! Hello OMAD!!

A terrific explanation of some of the current intermittent fasting protocols. Its reasonable, well written, explained thoroughly. It was helpful to me in working out some of the kinks in my IF journey. Highly recommended.

As a person who was unintentionally practicing intermittent fasting for years, it was a joy to find a like minded person who happened to write a book that's fun to read and very informative. Gin has a very easy, straightforward way of conveying all the information you need to know about the IF lifestyle which is now becoming more mainstream.

Bought this book in May 2017 and began applying its strategies immediately. After two decades of struggling with restrictive eating plans -and gaining weight after each new scheme - I have found this plan to be life changing. I have freedom around food, revitalized health and nearly effortless weight loss. I have recommended the book to many friends & family, so I'm seeing the ripple effect now. Thank you, Gin Stephens.

I found this book to be very informative and helpful. I've read a lot of the books she mentions reading on her journey and Gin boils things down to a very clear and understandable form. I especially like her emphasis on finding the right fit for you - I've been working with keto and now IF for almost 2 years. Well worth the read!

I have enjoyed learning the ins and outs of fasting. I really enjoyed reading the success stories at the end of the book also.

So far and intermittent fasting has worked for me and I am pleased to say, thanks to this book, I feel like I have some options for when my weight loss slows down that seem very do-able.

Highly recommended to anyone who wants to improve their health, save money, fall better, and look better. Gin is the OMAD guru of them all. Read her books and join her facebook forums if you really want to take control of your health.

I've read all the "science" books from doctors and experts on fasting. Gin has read them too. She covers their findings in a practical, easy format. She explains how and why it worked for her and how and why it can work for you. So glad I found this book.

This book is amazing! I will never go on another diet. I have been following this for about 2 months and I have lost weight. Even if I never lost weight, I will do this forever. I feel so much better, more energy, sleep better. Read this and then read "The Obesity Code" by Fung.

I absolutley love GIN STEPHENS. This book is amazing and life changing. I already purchased her second book Feast Without Fear, listen to her podcast and am on her facebook group. The book will get you started into this amazing, easy and SUSTAINABLE lifestyle.

Incredible book. A completely new way to eat that doesn't make you feel deprived and it feels sustainable. Weight loss is slow but steady and the book explains all the other health benefits of intermittent fasting as well. As a huge bonus there is a fb support group (same name as the title) in which the author, Gin, herself is very active and answers any questions you may have after reading the book. One of the most positive fb groups I've ever been in.

I recently started the IF lifestyle, but Gin's tips on what to drink and what to avoid during the fast are very helpful. This could be the end of dieting for me and I am really excited to see where it takes me. Thanks Gin for a great book.

This book has led me to successful weight loss. Intermittent fasting is a game changer for me. Gin Stephens explains the process very well.
Be careful who you order from as I received a pirated version, denying the author her royalties. It looks like the store has remedied this problem. Make sure it is sold and shipped by the store.

I've been reading and watching Youtube videos on IF and this had by far the best information on the subject. It was also written in a conversational style that was very easy to read, yet included links to the research.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was very simple to understand, and also, it was very well written. The author draws you in by sharing her own personal story, but helps to explain the science behind why intermittent fasting is a rewarding lifestyle-- not a quick fix.

Love the book & Gin's Facebook group! An easy & quick read. I absolutely hate meal prepping and counting things (calories, points, macros, etc...). I'm slowly learning to stop hating food and not feel guilty after every meal. Buy this book and join the FB group.

The author has provided a real life explanation of intermittent fasting through her own life experience. Easy, down to earth read with humor and excellent source references. I recommend this book for anyone considering IF.

I’ve struggled with diet after diet for YEARS, I accidentally discovered intermittent fasting and Gin Stephens’ Facebook groups, then, this book! This is a MUST READ for someone who is tired of yo-yo dieting and is looking for a REALISTIC lifestyle change! The title speaks for itself; Delay, Don’t Deny! And the beauty of “IF” and this book? Weight loss is just a BONUS! There are MANY health benefits to this lifestyle and this book explains it ALL ❤️ I literally heard a standing ovation in my head after reading this book to the very end! Silly, I know.. but this book will change your life!!

Like so many, I have read about and tried everything under the sun to find the magic formula to weight loss. Gin has written in layman's terms how simple it is to do intermittent fasting. A very easy-to-read book. Highly recommend!

This easy to read book, along with the online support is going to help me adapt to a new life style that will lead me to weight loss and better health. I highly recommend it to anyone who is tired of dieting.

This book has changed my life forever. I've finally lost weight permanently, and know that I will follow this lifestyle forever. It's not a diet. Gin's writing is so easy to read, she lends humor to her subject, and provides backup research to prove the theory.

I absolutely loved this book. The author makes it so easy to understand. She does ALL the research and then breaks it down for the average person to understand. I followed her advice and I feel like this is something I can do for life. You won’t be sorry you purchase this book! It is great.

Gin's book is absolutely amazing! It teaches you how to navigate the world of Intermittent Fasting and leads you freedom from dieting forever. The support you receive with the accompanying FB group is nothing like I've experienced before.

This is a great read for those who are sick of the diet rollercoaster and would like to look your best, feel your best and experience the many health benefits of Intermittent Fasting.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and could not put it down!! Gin's down to earth writing style had me hooked from the first page...Love the concept and have already started the intermittent fasting... If you feel stuck with your weight loss despite exercising, eating clean and restricting foods, I highly recommend reading this and trying it for at least 30 days.

Bought the book just last night and finished reading it today. It is an easy read with tons of information if you want to get started with IF . I like the writing style of the author , just like she's talking to you over coffee ☺️ this book has inspired me even more to continue in this lifestyle .
