I was surprised that you could eat your normal calorie intake on the non-fasting days and that the fasting days themselves give you 500 calories.

Review:Our favorite go-to resource for a fast and healthy meal! "Fast Food, Good Food" is EASILY is easily the best cookbook on our entire shelf. Here is why:
1. The recipes are easy, with clear, numbered instructions.

Review:I have been reading Clay Risen's various articles and blogs about the "brown liquor" for years, and he has been a helpful and reliable guide through the increasingly complex world of American spirits. His new book is sure to build upon an already fine reputation as a critical voice that is able to cut through the marketing and sales talk and to give his reader a straightforward and honest assessment of the various whiskeys, bourbons, and ryes detailed here. Insightful, knowledgeable, and, above ... Read more
