Publisher's Summary

Break the rules, not the fast with world-renowned biohacker and New York Times best-selling author Dave Asprey.

For more than a decade, the Bulletproof founder Dave Asprey has shared his unique point of view and expertise to help fans become the best versions of themselves. From living longer to getting smarter, maximising performance to practising mindfulness, Dave’s followers look to him for his take on the most effective techniques to become healthier and more powerful than most doctors think is possible.

Asprey has been fasting for years, long before it gained widespread popularity, and if you’re a fan of The Bulletproof Diet, you have been enjoying some of the benefits of intermittent fasting too.

In Fast This Way, Dave asks listeners to forget everything they think they know about the ancient practice and takes them on a journey through cutting-edge science to examine the ways novice fasters and intermittent fasting loyalists can up-end their relationship with food and upgrade their fasting game beyond calorie restriction.  

  • What if eating the right foods at the right time can actually enhance your fast?  
  • What if how you work out and sleep could trick your body into thinking you are fasting? 
  • What if it were easy to skip a meal, or two, or three?  
  • What if fasting is different for women, can be personalised to your genes and can impact your mental health?
  • What if all fasts could be created equal?

Fast This Way is a compelling listen through the latest thinking on fasting and gives listeners the manual and toolkit to make the most of their fasts and their personal biology.

Used this book as a coach

This book coached me through my first steps into fasting. It’s not always easy to talk about with friends, to have this book handy and listen to (even in the middle of a fast) was super encouraging.

Thank You Dave Asprey

I have been very vocal on all the socials about the success I am having thanks to your books.

I have lost a little over 30kg (68 pounds) with another 30kg to go. I have dropped 4 dress sizes, reversed Type 2 diabetes (which no longer requires medication) and lowered blood pressure and no longer require medication for that either.

That is just the physical aspects to date. Life is full at the moment and usually my anxiety would have peaked resulting in increased agoraphobia and poor functioning. Your book has taught me that going without is not a bad thing, it has taught me a gentle approach to self discipline and self care and increased my confidence and ability to deal with streasful situations.

It has been life changing, thank you.

He's done better.

Not bad some good tips but I thought there was a little to much on the side or religious and spiritual fasting, not that im against that i meditate everyday its just not what i was hoping it to be about. i Think Super Human was a much better read

Great and informative listen

I really enjoyed this book and the easily digestable information about all sorts of fasting. I also loved that it included specific tips and information for women.

goes above and beyond fasting

I loved every minute of this book, it's informative and entertaining at the same time. the best part about the book for me was the spiritual aspects it touched on, that are associated with fasting. at the end of the day we all want more from our health and that's what the book really talks about . it not only talks about the science and the technical aspects behind fasting but also about who or what we want to be one through fasting. loved it.
