Intermittent Fasting Cookbook: Fast-Friendly Recipes for Optimal Health, Weight Loss, and Results Fasting Fasting. It’s the word on everybody’s lips at the moment—at the gym, the coffee shop, the school drop-off lane, and the tech company cafeteria. In the past, the word evoked ideas of deprivation and religious customs, but now it triggers thoughts of joy, productivity, healing, and almost limitless possibilities. Fasting, particularly the carefully considered intermittent fasting (IF) balanced with highly nutritive feasting covered in this book, is being hailed as a panacea, a cure-all of sorts, with fresh success stories and anecdotes coming out regularly across mainstream media and social media outlets. We are discussing IF like it’s new, and some even deign to refer to it as a fad diet, but fasting has a long history as a spiritual, religious, and yes, health practice. Read on to learn about the basics and the health benefits of this age-old practice. Feasting “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” —PROVERB The fun part is here at last! It’s important for you to combine the two components, delicious and nutritious, to get the most satisfaction out of every meal. Nourishing your soul with pleasure while you fuel your body with healthy foods will maximize your chances for staying the course and getting the results you want. We’re going to talk about the different kinds of deliciousness you’ll get to enjoy during the feasting part of this journey. The possibilities are endless, the world is your oyster, so let’s get going! Recipes “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” —VIRGINIA WOOLF Let’s get cooking! Every single one of the recipes that follow was crafted with “dining well” in mind. By dining well, I mean dining for wellness, dining to flood your body with micronutrients while causing your taste buds to do a happy dance, dining to fuel your cells and your soul. Healthy and delicious are not meant to be mutually exclusive. So treat yourself—and your friends and family, too—by enjoying all the yumminess in the pages ahead! Baby Spinach, Blueberry, and Goat Cheese Salad with Crispy Tempeh Baby spinach, blueberries, and goat cheese are heavenly on their own, but the addition of slightly crispy, savory tempeh crumbles makes this a full protein-laden vegetarian meal. Thai Beef Salad with Fresh Herbs & Umami-Lime Dressing Did you know that fresh herbs count as dark leafy greens? Cilantro in particular is one of the greatest detoxifiers we can consume. This flavor-packed salad is as good for you as it gets, sky-high in satiating protein and fiber with a little kick of heat that will get your motor running. Turkey-Mushroom Meatloaf Muffins Meatloaf is so much better when it’s fun-sized! These little babies can be enjoyed as a high-protein snack or as part of a larger meal. I often pair them with the Gingery Green Beans from the Miso-Glazed Tofu recipe (page 116). Spinach-Lemon Pesto Zoodles with Half-Roasted Grape Tomatoes and Mozzarella The zucchini noodles provide volume for this filling recipe, as well as a score of vitamins and minerals for minimal calories—our primary goal for eating nutrient-dense foods! You can make this a veggies on-veggies meal or use traditional spaghetti or another kind of noodle, if desired, though that will add to the total cooking time depending on package directions.
