The New York Times bestselling author and senior fellow at the
Discovery Institute blends science and religion in this thoughtful
guide that teaches modern believes how to use the leading wellness
trend today--intermittent fasting--as a means of spiritual
awakening, adopting the traditions our Christians ancestors
practiced for centuries into daily life. Wellness minded people
today are increasingly turning to intermittent fasting to bolster
their health. But we aren't the first people to abstain from eating
for a purpose. This routine was a common part of our spiritual
ancestors' lives for 1,500 years. Jay Richards argues that
Christians should recover the fasting lifestyle, not only to
improve our bodies, but to bolster our spiritual health as well. In
Eat, Fast, Feast, he combines forgotten spiritual wisdom on fasting
and feasting with the burgeoning literature on ketogenic diets and
fasting for improved physical and mental health. Based on his
popular series "Fasting, Body and Soul" in The Stream, Eat, Fast,
Feast explores what it means to substitute our hunger for God for
our hunger for food, and what both modern science and the ancient
monastics can teach us about this practice. Richards argues that
our modern diet--heavy in sugar and refined carbohydrates--locks us
into a metabolic trap that makes fasting unfruitful and our feasts
devoid of meaning. The good news, he reveals, is that we are
beginning to resist the tyranny of processed foods, with millions
of people pursuing low carb, ketogenic, paleo, and primal diets.
This growing body of experts argue that eating natural fat and
fasting is not only safe, but far better than how we eat today.
Richards provides a 40-day plan which combines a long-term
"nutritional ketosis" with spiritual disciplines. The plan can be
used any time of the year or be adapted to a penitential season on
the Christian calendar, such as Advent or Lent. Synthesizing recent
science with ancient wisdom, Eat, Fast, Feast brings together the
physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of intermittent fasting to
help Christians improve their lives and their health, and bring
them closer to God.
