Story
Appetite Correction (AC) is a revolutionary new focus in weight loss based on years of user experience with Dr. Bert’s ground-breaking guide to daily intermittent fasting, The Fast-5 Diet and the Fast-5 Lifestyle. AC means getting your body’s appetite center working again, so not only do you lose excess fat, you lose it without being hungry, and once you’ve lost the weight, it stays off if you maintain the flexible, low-effort AC lifestyle. When the appetite center is working properly, you don’t want to eat more than you need.

In this highly enjoyable and provocative book, Dr Jason Fung sets out a groundbreaking new theory: that obesity is caused by our hormones, rather than a lack of self-control.

Ryan and Kim Smith struggled with dysfunctional eating throughout their lives. They had been on the hamster wheel of diets long before they met.

First, Ryan began a weight-loss effort, then Kim followed suit, eventually leading them both to intermittent fasting. The journey transformed not only their relationship with food but with themselves and with each other.

Is it possible to eat well, drink wine, and still lose weight? Melanie Avalon is living proof that, heck yeah, it's not only possible, it's unbelievably simple and straightforward. It's all about the what (mostly paleo, but she's not a monster about it), the when (believe it or not, brief fasting can mean freedom rather than restriction), and the wine (red wine can be a secret bullet for weight loss). It's a combination that Avalon discovered after years of self-experimentation and intense research on the mechanics of body fat regulation.

I really enjoyed this book and loved that it was narrated by the author. I have been listening to the podcasts Gin co-hosts with Melanie Avalon (The Intermittant Fasting Podcast), and this made me want to get Gin's book. Gin is a real down to earth lady and I found the information in this book to be very beneficial and it has really helped me on my OMAD intermittant fasting journey.

Have a print copy, STILL bought Audible version!
Two doctors and a nutritionist recommended Intermittent Fasting for me. It sounded kooky and restrictive and impossible for a long while and then I Googled around and found Gin's podcast which led me to her books (Delay, Don't Deny and Feast without Fear). Gin's clear explanations made it seem a lot less kooky, a lot less restrictive, and a lot more manageable for someone who wants a normal life that involves sharing meals and social events with family and friends. DDD is a perfect introduction and also provides lots of background reading for those who want to dig deeper into the medical studies and science. I've shared her chapter describing insulin resistance a few times already to explain why I'm doing IF. Gin also has a delightful Georgia accent and genuine laugh that makes listening enjoyable. This is a great book to get started. If you want to keep it simple, you can just dive right in. If you want to learn more, she provides the annotated bibliography.

Skip and read Obesity Code by Dr Jung. Seriously.
You may notice that this author cites Dr Jung ad nausaum. However, Dr Jung NEVER cites this author and there's a reason for that. This is simply HER own success story. Gin is a teacher, not a scientist, nutritionist, dietitian or physician and is monumentally unqualified to write about anything other than her own experience. SO, this is actually a memoir, not so much a guide. The narration is unfortunate, but tolerable. But I truly think authors shouldn't narrate their own books. There are professionals for that. Her Facebook groups and podcasts are riddled with horrible misinformation, dangerously so. The podcasts peddle MLMs, subscription boxes and woo. When challenged, Gin simply shuts down commenting, deletes other comments, or simply deletes the entire post. Each post is reviewed by her personally before it can even be asked. This lacks transparency and authenticity. Fat does NOT "turn into muscle." Muscle does NOT WEIGH more than fat. Himalayan salt is just SALT. It isn't a cure all. It is NOT okay to binge on fast food, cupcakes, milkshakes, and coffee creamer during a window. This book is a guide to a binge eating disorder. Proceed with extreme caution.

Sanity at last
The concepts described in this book are simple and sane. The author explains the benefits of intermittent fasting thoroughly and in easy to understand language. She also describes various ways to fast, how to get started, and helpful hints for the journey. Additional resources are provided for readers who want to read more of the science behind IF. The author's personal story is very relatable and will sound familiar to many of us who have yo-yo dieted. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in IF.

This is the last 'diet' you will need to try
As a 'questioner' in the Gretchen Rubin "The Four Tendencies" framework I usually only listen to experts with credentials, or other credible sources like WireCutter or Consumer Reports -- People and organizations that are reliably credible. And while Gin isn't a doctor and doesn't have a degree in nutritional science and is not a registered dietitian, she has gained my respect because of her relentless review of research and the fact that she has personally tried about 25 diets. So with that caveat, I am about 8 weeks in with this intermittent fasting routine, and it has become a lifestyle for me. The research is abundant and incredibly persuasive - intermittent fasting improves health from the cellular level, and some of the side effects are healing 'leaky gut', improved cognition, less sensitivity in terms of what you can eat, more energy, and weight loss. Gin Stephens didn't invent intermittent fasting but she has perfected the strategy and the details of what 'clean' fasting is and it really does work. If you have been struggling with not being able to lose weight, you have a tire around your belly, you can't eat a lot of foods because they are inflammatory, you feel fatigued all the time, you feel like you are not thinking as clearly as you should... then this book is worth the read!

Changed my life!
I found this book on a recommendation from a friend. After 20+ years of yo-yo dieting and gaining and losing weight and feeling like a failure, this book has changed my life forever. I read the book in record time and began implementing IF immediately. The lifestyle was easy to implement, made so much sense, and I lost 20 pounds in the first 6 weeks. Was able to stay on the lifestyle while on vacation recently, and even lost 2 more pounds! I no longer have the defeating mentality that I've had for so long, I feel healthier, and I'm enjoying life. IF is so worth it, and this book allowed me to make this life change. I recommend it to anyone and everyone!

If you are looking for "HOW" to do Intermittent fasting, this is the book for you. Gin has done so much research and it is all in one place. I read Dr. Fung’s Obesity Code first and loved how he explained how the human body works to lose weight. Gin put everything together into a step by step guide on how to do it so you are successful. It is pretty much like she is sitting at your kitchen table telling you all you need to know. Now, with the audio book version, literally……..she’s in your kitchen. Plus, she has an adorable Southern accent. I couldn’t recommend it more.

Life Changing!
This is a fabulous introduction to the idea of intermittent fasting! The author explains everything so clearly and adds a lot of humor to the topic. Delay, Don't Deny has really changed the way I think about food, weight loss, and overall health. I have found freedom after years and years of failed diets. Intermittent fasting makes so much sense to me and it's something I will be able to adopt for the long term. I'm so happy to have found this book!

Amazing Book
I have read both of Gins books twice. They are an incredibly easy read, and have changed my life. I have tried every diet, read every diet book, joined nearly every diet club.....all to lose some, and then put it back on again. This time was different....it became more about getting off the roundabout and improving health rather than losing weight. Weight loss became a welcome side effect! I have lost 47lbs since January, as has my husband. Gin also has several Facebook pages, which have been a lifesaver. They provide a fantastic network of co-fasters all willing to share their experiences and help with any issues. I have been impatiently waiting for the audio version so that I can listen whilst on my morning walk/run......something I hadn’t done for years, but now do 3-4 mornings a week. Thanks again to Gin. Anyone who thinks they are too old/fat/sick to improve their health....think again.....this book will completely change your mindset. Anybody can do intermittent fasting, there’s no special foods, you literally can eat what you want, no special clubs to join, no extra money to spend! Delay Don’t Deny has set me free from the diet mentality that the commercial system wants us all to buy into....I feel liberated! Thanks Gin for helping me to get my health, and my life, back.

Such clarity gained from this book!
I have read/listened lots of “diet books” and none of them have got through to me like this one. Firstly, it’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle and it is so simple. I had already read the Obesity Code before this and although I thought it was interesting, I didn’t put it into practice. However this book is written (and read) from the experience of Gin who has and is living the lifestyle just made so much more sense. Once you have read this book, get yourself on the FB groups. It’s life changing.

Life changing!
I've had weight, pain, insulin and blood glucose issues for 12 years, starting in my first pregnancy. I have been low carb most of that time, which helped to a degree, but I came to learn that fasting was the fast track to endocrine healing. By complete fluke I stumbled across Gin's podcast on Spotify "Intermittent Fasting Stories". It was incredibly motivating and inspiring, so I downloaded Gin's book. I was already well familiar with fasting, Fung, Taubes, Mosley, Longo, McDonald etc. I had tried all the fasts! But Gin's advice is a game changer!!! Not only does she present the information in a way that just makes you believe that you can fast, but clean fasting is the difference between hardship and ease! She isn't pretentious or try hard, she's selling something, she just presents the way she tried and failed and then finally found something that worked, and that can probably work for anyone. I have already lost 16lbs in one month and have never lost weight so easily or felt so good! I don't feel deprived and have amazing energy all day. Clean fasting is easy once you adapt and feel like I can do this forever. It's a lifestyle and Gin converted me to that!

Great to listen to
Loved it, Gin is very funny and she has inspired me to do this. There are many sciencey books out there, however, sometimes you just need an honest practical approach with some science of cause! I recommend you listen to this book even if you have read/listened too many other books on intermittent fasting.

Fantastic explanation about IF
I have been doing IF on and off for the past 6 months. Read few books about it. But this one made it so clear many topics which i wasnt sure if i was doing right.... or if it was the right thing to do it on my journey of losing weight and feel good about myself. Inspired and motived me even more to not give up on IF process.
