In this audiobook, you will learn how to use intermittent fasting effectively in order to lose weight while continuing to eat food you enjoy.

We all have tried different diets and supplements that either a friend recommended to us or that we saw on TV, with those pretty ads stating this and that, but it seems that nothing ever works. Well, one day I decided to try intermittent fasting. The results came in but it still wasn't what I was looking for and I wasn't feeling as good as I should... So I developed a different approach.

If you are sick and tired of complicated diets, calorie-counting, menu-planning, and tasteless food without achieving your desired goals, then there is an alternative for you. You can stop dieting and just follow the time-tested and very trendy intermittent fasting (IF). People are using that eating pattern to burn fat, improve their health, and simplify their lifestyles.

Getting into the intermittent fasting lifestyle doesn’t require you to give up the foods you love or even eating fewer calories per meal. In fact, the most commonly used type of intermittent fasting makes it possible for those who practice it to skip breakfast before eating two meals later in the day. This type of lifestyle change is ideal for those who find themselves having trouble sticking with a stricter diet plan, as it doesn’t take much of a change to start seeing serious results, as opposed to being forced to change everything all at once.

When Molly Wizenberg married Brandon Pettit, he was a trained composer with a handful of offbeat interests: Espresso machines, wooden boats, violin-building, and ice cream-making. So when Brandon decided to open a pizza restaurant, Molly was supportive—not because she wanted him to do it but because the idea was so far-fetched she didn't think he would. Before she knew it, he'd signed a lease on a space. The restaurant, Delancey, was going to be a reality, and all of Molly's assumptions about her marriage were about to change.

Culinary queen Angie Amalfi has put aside her gourmet utensils to concentrate on planning her upcoming wedding to San Francisco homicide detective Paavo Smith. What could possibly go wrong? Instead of the answer to her heart's dreams, she scrambles to deal with wedding planners with bizarre ideas, wedding dresses that don't flatter, squabbling relatives with hurt feelings, a long-suffering groom, and worries over where she and Paavo will live after the wedding. But all of that pales when Angie finds the perfect house for them, except for one little problem - the house may be haunted.
