Break the rules, not the fast with world-renowned biohacker and New York Times bestselling author Dave Asprey.
For more than a decade, the Bulletproof founder Dave Asprey has shared his unique point of view and expertise to help fans become the best versions of themselves. From living longer to getting smarter, maximising performance to practising mindfulness, Dave’s followers look to him for his take on the most effective techniques to become healthier and more powerful than most doctors think is possible.

Asprey has been fasting for years, long before it gained widespread popularity, and if you’re a fan of The Bulletproof Diet, you have been enjoying some of the benefits of Intermittent Fasting too.

In Fast This Way, Dave asks readers to forget everything they think they know about the ancient practice and takes them on a journey through cutting-edge science to examine the ways novice fasters and Intermittent Fasting loyalists can up-end their relationship with food and upgrade their fasting game beyond calorie restriction.  

• What IF eating the right foods at the right time can actually enhance your fast?  
• What IF how you work out and sleep could trick your body into thinking you are fasting? 
• What IF it were easy to skip a meal, or two, or three?  
• What IF fasting is different for women, can be personalised to your genes, and can impact your mental health? 
• What IF all fasts could be created equal?

Fast This Way is a compelling read through the latest thinking on fasting and gives readers the manual and toolkit to make the most of their fasts and their personal biology.

Dave Asprey is the "Father of Biohacking" and founder of Bulletproof 360, Inc. He is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, host of the Webby award-winning podcast Bulletproof Radio, and the creator of the global phenomenon Bulletproof Coffee and the Bulletproof Diet.

As an overweight, overworked, and unhealthy Silicon Valley entrepreneur, Dave found himself with a dire decision to make - get a healthy mind, body, and spirit, or live a much shorter life span. Dave chose to not only live but to thrive and share that knowledge with his community. He has spent the past two and a half decades scouring the planet from Tibet to the Andes discovering and engineering ways to fully realize human potential. Transforming himself into a super high-performing human being, the experience and knowledge gained was too valuable not to share.

Through the Bulletproof Diet, countless biological experiments, and simple life "hacks", Dave has maintained a 100-pound weight loss, upgraded his brain, and transformed himself into a happy and gratitude-filled husband, father, writer, executive, and human being. With over 200 million downloads of his Human Upgrade podcast, millions of monthly unique visitors to the Dave Asprey blog, and of course the Bulletproof 360 products in millions of households worldwide, Dave has created a movement that shows us the power of intention and the limitless possibility of the human spirit and incredible capacity of the physical body.

Being Bulletproof is the state of high performance, where you take control of your biology and your environment. Dave shares his journey of self-discovery as an example that can lead you towards unlocking your full birthright potential.

As a cintinuous Intermittent and occasional long term fasting person, I have found the hacks and information in this book confirming what I knew, but adding a multitude of new useful information. Mr. Asprey is also quite the Common Sense Philosopher.
Very informative and amusing read. I highly recommend, and have bought this book for three friends.

So much great information. I've had the book for a while and didn't commit fully to it until I seen him speaking on Lewis Howes YouTube channel and knew I needed to revisit it.
I literally digested the entire book at a rate that I can only hope my metabolism can achieve one day. Fantastic information, easy to read, and very reasonable and sustainable information by someone who genuinely wants you to enjoy the experience above selling another fad diet.
Thank you Dave! True fan.
