Thank you to NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group, and Nicole Poirier for the ARC of Intermittent Fasting Cookbook in return for my honey review.

I am currently into my second year of intermittent fasting and have read many books on the subject. This is so much more than a cookbook,.The author gives a perfect overview of all the details about the process and levels of fasting which is a perfect review for the seasoned faster as well as great information for a new faster. While there are many books available about fasting, some can be very dense with medical details that can intimidate the reader who may just be researching the subject/considering the fasting lifestyle. Nicole Poirier gives the perfect outline of fasting benefits and she reviews all fasting views/opinions which is perfect for new faster since there is so much varied information on this subject.

Fasting is a lifestyle, not a diet so there is not a specific diet to follow. Many people that have spent their lives jumping from one diet to another that provided exactly what you can eat per day, the exact amount of calories, carbs, etc can find it hard to understand that fasting is not a diet to follow and may feel unsure how to begin and what to eat. This book is the perfect answer to help you guide you in the right direction on foods that will be best for your body on the fasting journey.

I highly recommend this book for all intermittent fasters---but especially for all new intermittent fasters, this book is a great starting point!

I have been looking for a book on Intermittent Fasting for a while after coming across the principle in a health session. This is the book I have been looking for! It has clear explanations on the different types of IF and explains which may be better to start with and what can then be moved on to. Includes a worksheet to provide your baseline and goal setting.
The Feasting stage is also covered as what you put into your body post fast is also important, I am also aiming to follow a low carb way of eating and this section provides useful information.
The recipes look amazing and cover snacks, breakfast, vegan, meat and sweet options. I am always looking for tips and good recipes for snacks and this had some fabulous options. Another plus point for me is the detailed nutrient details with each recipe, particularly the carb count which helps with my menu planning.
When available I will be purchasing - a great book for anyone looking to start IF.

I know this book is labeled as a cookbook, but honestly the recipes are just a bonus! The author did a great job at explaining all forms of fasting and an even better job at explaining how to fuel yourself once the fast ends. There are so many helpful guides and food list in this book that make it the the ultimate Intermittent Fasting resource.

Chef Nicole has written a well-informed book about intermittent fasting. This book contains over 70 delicious, superfood-based recipes. She has used her 20+ years of experience to create an insightful and informative read.
Wherever your health journey takes you, I found this book to be easy, and adaptable. The Intermittent Fasting Cookbook is book to keep in the kitchen. I have used some of the recipes with success. I look forward to getting this book when it is published.

**I received and voluntarily read an e-ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.**

A great starting guide to Intermittent Fasting, the different types/lengths, and how to make it work best for you. While there's not a ton of new information that I hadn't heard before, it was compiled in a nice, neat, easy to read guide that any health nut would appreciate.

The photography was good, made most of the recipes look delicious, and even made some of the less appetizing recipes look appealing, which is always a plus for a healthy cookbook.

The Vietnamese Chicken and Cabbage Salad, the Crispy Turnip Hasbrowns and the Barbecue Chicken and charred Onion Personal pizzas were all stand out recipes for me.

Overall, while I would have liked some more recipes, there are more than enough to get you started on making some healthy, filling dishes until you know what works best for you.

Great run through of what IF is and the science behind it. Also fantastic to heave some IF friendly recipes along side the tips.

i really enjoyed this book. The first section explained why IF works, the concepts behind it and tips to go alongside as well, really important. First cookbook I've reviewed in a while with enough photos to satisfy me, most recipes came with a photo that was easily identifiable and looked delicious!

Are some of the recipes a bit weird? Yes but this is a diet cookbook, and it's to be excited. Adventurous is a better phrase and I look forward to trying some out.

Looking at the title I thought this book could have been written with me in mind, consequently I immediately requested it from NetGalley before publication. But unfortunately I was disappointed. Fasting is something I have done a lot of research on. It isn't something I do continuously, but during various points of my life I have fasted using the 5:2 pattern and even over 2 - 3 days. I have read and shown medical professionals research from some of the author's recommended sources, frustrated that doctors are not trained in, and therefore don't promote diet as part of our recovery. I also know people who have combatted debilitating illnesses by making IF a regular part of their lives.

Whenever there have been articles in the newspaper about IF I have read them closely and been impressed with the proposed recipes to either break the fast or provide the 500 calories allowed over the fasting day, I hoped this book would provide more of those small, light meals. Instead, the last part of the book seemed to have large recipes, sometimes for 6 servings, of quite complicated recipes with substantial fat content, The last thing you want to do when fasting is start cooking large quantities of food. Having said that, the snack and the soups are a great idea. And the heavier recipes can be used to heat healthily 24/7.

The book does have a lot of useful information. The questionnaire to find out which fasting method to use, would be really helpful to the reader. There are lots of reasons given as to why IF is good for you, and it really isn't all about weight loss. Check out the ten benefits for inspiration and the fasting / eating ratios you can try.

In conclusion, this is a subject I know quite a lot about already, I did learn new things from this book, and the recipes at the back are great but possibly better for when you are eating normally. It's a recipe book with a twist.

A very informative book on intermittent fasting, and a great place for anyone considering giving it a try. There are variety of options and plans to try, things to be aware of, and a long and convincing list of benefits. My favourite part was the recipes, as there are quite a few I want to try. I have been using IF for a long time as a healthy lifestyle choice but not to lose weight so I think I could improve my diet in the eating window using some of the recipes in this book. Definitely food for thought. Overall a well researched and beautifully written book.

Love love love this cook book. New to intermittent fasting and these recipes were easy to follow and so satisfying after a long fasting period. Also feeling increased energy since using

This book is amazing! I have been interested in Intermittent Fasting for a while and this book has the perfect amount of information along with recipes. I really enjoyed the layout of the book- starting with an definition of what IF is, the various ways/patterns a person can try it, the benefits of IF, FAQs, side effects and incorporating meditation and mindfulness into the equation as well. There are so many benefits to IF and the ones that are of particular interest to me are weight loss, reduced inflammation, improving sleep, super charging your brain and being more in-tune with your body and what it needs. I love the focus on non-scale victories, setting goals and meal planning as well. And the recipes- oh my goodness, so many fantastic sounding ones. The Sunflower Seed Muhammara and Avocado Soup both sound amazing. I can't wait to try out IF and the recipes. Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds for an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

I did not expect this much information in a cookbook! As a person who has been practicing intermittent fasting for almost two months, I found the recipes and modifications in the book extremely helpful. I also really enjoyed the way that the author broke down information and shared it gradually, but made it applicable to everyone. My favorite recipes were the snacks - tasty and filling!

I gave the Intermittent Fasting Cookbook four stars, because I really enjoyed the information and recipes. I felt that it made me feel a little bit "looked down on" because I don't follow all of the book's recommended suggestions. However, this didn't put me off reading the information or trying the recipes! I really liked it.

I’ve read so much about intermittent fasting (IF) and how it helps you lose weight in a healthful way. That’s why I was so excited to find this beautifully designed cookbook filled with delicious recipes and how-tos on doing IF right.

IF can also reduce inflammation and high cholesterol, as well as improve diabetes — major factors leading to premature aging and ill health.

Author Nicole Poirier, special diets chef and wellness guru, gives us the full 411 on IF, with over 70 nutrient-dense recipes, worksheets for planning, and tips on timing, food journaling, mindful eating, and more.

By following this helpful guide, I can’t wait to lose my last 10 unwanted pounds and boost my health the IF way.

Okay, so I have a few thoughts on this book.

I have read a lot of books on intermittent fasting, it is something that works for me when I am feeling motivated and something that I really want to stick to. Personally I am a fan on this way of life.

This book is well written and it is full of great, easy to understand information. The only let down for me personally is the recipe content, there are a few gems in there. The tzatziki is great and the whole family loved it, Also the Zucchini, lasagne roll ups were a hit.

I think this is a great all round beginners book for fasting but the recipes themselves are a little too much for some of them.

A lot of information on IF in this book. Great looking recipes, although some are pretty complex. It has a lot of techniques and offers a meal planning guide as well. For someone interested in learning the benefits of fasting and for those who love to be in the kitchen cooking, this book is definitely for you. I found some recipes to keep and enjoy. Great photos of recipes as well.

As someone who has been doing a 16:8 intermittent fasting protocol for almost a year, I still found all of the information on fasting in this cookbook very useful. It provides a great overview of IF - the benefits, the how-tos, things to watch out for... The recipes included generally sound tasty, but at the same time, I'm unlikely to put the effort into making any of them. That doesn't mean other people won't, obviously, but for my cooking style and preferences, I wouldn't buy this for my personal collection.

This is a really useful guide for those looking to start intermittent fasting. It has all the information you need about how to start intermittent fasting and the different tips and tricks which can make it work for each person and how to make it easier. It also has a wide variety of recipes to suit all different skills and palettes to enjoy during to intermittent fasting.

What a wonderful overview of intermittent fasting! This book gives you many tips as well as recipes to prepare. It has pictures and well organized. I will be using it in the future!

A great introduction into intermittent fasting. The theory and instruction in this book were very informative. I think it was just the right amount of information needed to start fasting. Any questions I felt I had about intermittent fasting were answered in the opening of this book. Although I enjoyed some of the recipes I found some were not the type of thing I would choose to eat every day. A great book for a beginner and then to dip in and out of for recipes and meal ideas.

Oh my word, I love this cookbook! I've been intermittent fasting for over a year and have found great results. This is the first cookbook I've seen geared toward IF. I tried out about a dozen recipes in the last week or so and was thrilled with the results. Our favorite had to be the Thai Beef Salad. And was very keen to see some legumes and complex carbs that were starch resistant. I've missed quinoa and lentils. Oh and the cauliflower hummus and tzaziki sauce were to die for also. Can't wait to get a hard copy of this one.
