The 8-Hour Diet

In The 8-Hour Diet, bestselling authors David Zinczenko and Peter Moore present a paradigm-shifting plan that allows readers to eat anything they want, as much as they want-and still strip away 20, 40, 60 pounds, or more.

After visits to world-renowned researchers at the Salk Institute, in La Jolla, California, and the National Institute on Aging, in Baltimore, and completing interviews with a dozen other clinical experts-plus poring over the copious amounts of new research in the fascinating field of intermittent fasting, Zinczenko and Moore came up with a plan that they themselves tried, and they engaged 2,000 people for a test panel. Based on their interviews, research, and test panel results, they determined that readers can lose remarkable amounts of weight eating the foods they like best-as long as they eat within a set 8-hour time period. Fasting is, of course, an ancient spiritual and health practice, but it's also a way to sidestep many of the ills of the modern world-including diabetes, heart disease, and cognitive impairment.

Zinczenko and Moore demonstrate how simply observing this timed-eating strategy, even just three days a week, will reset a dieter's metabolism so that he or she can enter fat-burning mode first thing in the morning-and stay there all day long. And by focusing on eight critical, nutrient-rich Powerfoods, readers build in a second layer of protection against Alzheimer's, heart disease, and even the common cold.

In the book, readers will find motivating strategies, delicious recipes, and an 8-minute workout routine to maximize calorie burn. The 8-Hour Diet promises to strip away unwanted pounds and give readers the focus and willpower they need to reach their goals for weight loss and life.
