"The indispensable companion to the #1 New York Times bestselling diet book the FastDiet became an instant international bestseller with a powerful, life-changing message: it's possible to lose weight and reduce your risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, all while eating what you would normally eat five days a week. You simply cut your caloric intake two days a week--to 500 calories for women, 600 for men. But as FastDiet author Dr. Michael Mosley says, "It's not really fasting. It's just a break from your normal routine." This fabulous new cookbook offers 150 carefully crafted, nutritious, low-calorie recipes to enable you to incorporate the FastDiet into your daily life. Ranging from simple breakfasts to leisurely suppers, the recipes are all expertly balanced and calorie-counted by FastDiet coauthor Mimi Spencer (a devotee of the diet herself!) and nutritionist Dr. Sarah Schenker. From soups to meat dishes to delicious fish-based meals, the recipes are designed to fill you up and stave off hunger--even though none is over 500 calories. There are also detailed menu plans and plenty of encouraging tips, including kitchen-cupboard essentials, the latest nutritional advice, and a whole section of speedy meals for busy days. With an introduction to the diet itself-- detailing its many scientifically backed health benefits and the transformative results achieved by hundreds of thousands of readers--this book is an essential follow-up companion guide to the FastDiet.

Review's text:
The FastDiet Cookbook: 150 Delicious, Calorie-Controlled Meals to Make Your Fasting Days Easy

by Mimi Spencer, Sarah Schenker, Michael Mosley (Foreword)





Before I get into the review of this book, I just wanted to state that I won this book via a goodreads giveaway. I want to thank whatever powers that be that allowed me to chosen to receive this book. On a semi-more serious note, I want to state that my experience with cookbooks is highly limited. (Seriously, I don’t think I have even looked through one to any great extent… Let alone review one…) Anyway, I just wanted to apologize in case anyone finds this review in poor taste (ha – see what I did there?)

I also have no interest in fasting. I know, sounds like I joined a meaningless giveaway on my part, right? Wrong. I have wanted to become healthier and saw this as an additional piece of motivation.

I have yet to actually try any of the recipes, but wanted to review the overall book within itself. (So I apologize (again) is you were looking for some good dinner ideas via a review blog post…)



The images within this book are amazingly vivid. Seriously – I was drooling over many of the salmon-filled images. The bright and colorful pictures are reflected by the vivid descriptions of not only what goes into the meal but also why parts of the meal are considered healthy, etc.



The first few chapters of this book go through some of the basic ideas of the diet itself. I was pleasantly surprised that the authors took into consideration the fact that not everyone is able to follow the same routines/diets/etc. From what I have learned from diets (I’ve never been on one personally) is that the diets themselves are very strict. This book’s opening chapters create a very warming and welcoming atmosphere and I found that I actually felt more relaxed about looking through the recipes – I definitely had a more open mind after reading how understanding the authors are.



I will admit that I did not read over each recipe in great detail. (Go ahead, ask me about what recipe was on page 53 – I have no idea.) BUT what I did notice was that each recipe had a section that sort of explained what was healthy about the meal, etc. and I tended to look at those more than the recipe themselves. If (and when) I try some of these I will definitely be interested in the recipes’ “stories” (or “reasoning’s”) that go along with them.



Overall, I give the book 4/5 stars. Good book overall! I think it could help a lot of people who are trying to eat healthier (even if they do not plan on fasting).



Thanks for reading!



Sincerely,

Taylor
