I read that book several years ago.

This is what I remember most from the book:

1. It was the only book on fasting I ever came across that pointed to conventional medical citations.

2. Furnham emphasised that fasting was not to be used as a weight control technique. He wouldn't let someone fast under his guidance unless they proved they could eat healthily and noncompulsively on their own.

3. Furnham only used fasting as a serious intervention for diet related degenerative diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease etc.
