AC: The Power of Appetite Correction Kindle Edition

If you have paid ANY attention to health and diet info over the years, then you know everything presented in this book except perhaps it's central point: Eat during a 5 hr period each day, fast for the rest. Other than that.. . .. meh. In many ways, this book was a joke. He makes up for literally a lack of subject matter with blank pages for you to write in your thoughts. Ugh .. I have blank paper already thank you. On other pages there are areas of HUGE text and cartoons. He had little to say but wanted to come up with a book. Save your money.

Great book on successfully using fasting and making it fit into your lifestyle. I started at a 16/8 plan and have moved into a 19/5 plan. My major concern at the beginning was being concerned that hunger would make it difficult to complete my usual daily activities. My eventual plan was to make sure food was available in case it was too overwhelming and, admittedly, the first week was a little difficult. I was hungry during the day off and on, but I stuck to the plan and used some of Dr. Herrings tricks for getting past the hunger. I started losing weight immediately. Now, at four weeks in, hunger does occur, but is easily ignored.The best thing about this plan for me is the ability to control my appetite and only eat when I choose (and I do eat!). Hunger is fleeting at other times of the day outside my chosen eating window. Eating multiple meals a day always ended up with feeling hungrier and having trouble sticking to my calorie limit. Now, I don't bother to count, though I do still keep my carbs low as I find I feel better that way. This is a very sustainable way to eat for me.

This book is amazing for anyone looking into an Intermittent Fasting lifestyle. I had been doing a 19:5 regimen for about 5 months when I heard of this book and it solidified the "why" for everything I was doing. It took me about 4 weeks to feel like I had Appetite Correction fully. Now that I have it, it feels physically impossible to overeat. The few times I have pushed through and over eaten, I get physically ill. I love that my body feels "reset" and there is clear communication between my hunger and satiety signals. Living a 19:5 lifestyle has helped me overcome food addiction, feel dietary freedom, balance my blood sugars, helped me feel mental clarity, and helped me release over 60 lbs (and counting). This book is easy to understand and it's simple to follow. I highly recommend Dr. Herring's book, "Fast 5." I can't imagine ever living my life any other way or going back to old habits because I feel so good now! This book is very valuable and insightful!

I highly recommend this book to helps you get a grip on understanding & controlling your appetite for food - and so much more. Dr Herring is one of 3 authors I am reading in learning to lose weight and get healthier at the same time. The others are Jason Fung (MD) and Gin Stephens (PhD). All have excellent books and youtube videos on Intermittent Fasting which is easy to implement in your eating lifestyle resulting in "maintainable" weight loss. The result is looking better, feeling better, and having more energy. This eating lifestyle has no gimmicks, no costs other than books if you choose to purchase them, and buying smaller clothes as you need them - but...your food bill will go down.

I have read A LOT of books on weight loss and management and this is the very first to address the root cause of obesity and how to truly "fix" it. I have been implementing his tools to correct my appetite and it's working well...1 week in and I've already dropped 5 lbs and feeling well fed. I had previously read Gin Stephens book "Delay Don't Deny" (which I loved) and she recommended this book and now I know why, as Dr. Herring really brought it all together in how to truly eat and enjoy life again.

Absolutely fantastic book for anyone.Dr. Herring is changing lives and truly making a difference. Personally, I have lost 60lbs and have kept it off for 5 years now and have never felt better. Best yet, I'm still eating the food I love. However, intermittent fasting has opened me up to enjoy vegetables that once made me gag. A day of fasting makes broccoli taste like a dream.Everyone should read this book and give the advice a solid month (or even longer) a try. It's quite simply the easiest diet to follow, I promise. Stop counting calories and start living your life!

The science behind this approach is very convincing. I have combined it with Dr. Joel Fuhrman's nutritarian recommendations and have lost 70 pounds. No more knee pain. No more back pain. No more seasonal allergies. No more cramps in my hands. I started with Dr. Fuhrman's Eat for Health and fine tuned it with Dr. Herring's Fast-5. I now inform all my patients of both to achieve optimal health.

Loving this book! Eat during a 5 hour window and fast for the rest. Not been doing it long but I'm finding it much easier than I thought it would be!Lovely writing style and very funny in places.Great Facebook Group to support it too! :)

Very good book about intermittent fasting. I’ve been living this lifestyle for 3 months now and will never go back. I feel better than I have in years.

Gave some interesting information and ways to work through 1 thing at a time. Contained information that i had not seen before. However would need an accompanying source of information. Other wise a good read and will definitely be coming back to as required.

Easy to read and it works! Down to earth and practical. I truly can't think of any negatives to say. I am living it now and cannot believe how things have changed.

brilliant diet which does work - doesn't really need to be as long as the book is though
