Fast for Faith and Fat Loss

あらすじ
The church has been prescribing this practice for two thousand years. The science finally caught up. Every Lent, millions of Christians fast. Most of them do not know what happens to their body when they do, and the tradition that gave them the practice never needed to explain it. Now the explanation exists, and it turns out the desert fathers were right about almost everything. Fast for Faith and Fat Loss holds both accounts together without reducing either one. The biology of time-restricted eating, the theology of voluntary hunger, the contemplative practices of the monastic tradition, the metabolic science of autophagy and insulin sensitivity: these are not separate subjects dressed up as a single book. They are the same subject, approached from two directions that arrive at the same place. This is not a Lenten devotional with a diet attached. It is not a fasting protocol with scripture verses in the margins. It is a serious, liveable guide to one of Christianity's most ancient practices, written for the reader who wants to understand what they are actually doing when they fast and who is willing to do it well. The forty days are the container. What forms inside them is the point. Kindly scroll up and and click the buy button!
