How to Win Fasting —
Mentally, Socially, and Physically
by Mehrdad Jamshidi
This isn't another book about intermittent fasting.
This is the book that finally shows you how to live it.
Why Most People Fail at Fasting
Most people fail at fasting not because they're weak — but because no one has ever taught them how to handle the mental, social, and physical sides of the journey.
They get the protocol. They don't get the tools.
Built from real experience — not theory — How to Win Fasting is the practical, straight-talk guide created after coaching thousands of people through life-changing transformation. Inside, you won't find recycled science or complicated rules. You'll find exactly what actually works in the real world.
What You'll Learn Inside
Eight areas most fasting books completely ignore — and why they're the difference between quitting and winning.
The mindset that actually works
Why willpower fails you — and what to build instead. Structure, clarity, and internal strength that makes fasting effortless.
How to eliminate hunger
Not by eating less — by eating the right foods. Learn exactly what to eat to keep hunger low and energy high.
Fasting in your real life
Work deadlines, family dinners, travel, stress. This book teaches you how to fast in your conditions — not ideal ones.
How to handle social pressure
The scripts and strategies to protect your fasting lifestyle from well-meaning people who will try to pull you off track.
Break through plateaus
Why your body stops responding and exactly what to do when progress stalls — without giving up everything you've built.
Your first 10 days
A clear roadmap for what to expect, how to avoid the common mistakes, and how to break your fast the right way.
Cravings and emotional eating
How to identify the triggers behind emotional eating and replace them with patterns that actually serve your goals.
Make fasting something you enjoy
The shift from "I have to do this" to "this is just how I live." Real transformation — not another diet you abandon.
This Book Is for You If…
You've tried intermittent fasting before and couldn't stick to it
You're always hungry and don't know why
Social situations destroy your fasting routine
You've hit a plateau and have no idea what to do
You rely on willpower and keep running out of it
You start over every Monday
Travel, work stress, or family dinners derail you
You want fasting to feel natural — not like a punishment
Why This Book Works
Because the author lived the struggle. Because he made every mistake first. Because he rebuilt his life with fasting — and then helped thousands do the same.
From devastating health issues, weight struggles, emotional pain, and years of confusion… to total transformation, global travel, and becoming a guide to tens of thousands of students.
Every lesson in this book comes from that journey — tested and proven again and again.

Who is this book for?
Anyone who has tried intermittent fasting and struggled to stick to it — or who is starting for the first time and wants to get it right from day one. If you have tried and failed before, this book was written specifically for you.
I've tried fasting before and it didn't work. Will this be different?
Most fasting books give you the protocol but skip the hard part — the mental game, the social pressure, the hunger management, the days when everything falls apart. That's exactly what this book focuses on. The reason fasting hasn't worked before is almost certainly covered inside.
Does it cover specific protocols like 16:8 or OMAD?
Yes — but more importantly it teaches you how to actually live them. Understanding the 16:8 window takes five minutes. Making it stick for months takes the tools in this book.
Is it suitable for complete beginners?
Absolutely. The book includes a clear guide to your first 10 days — what to expect, what to do when you feel awful, and how to build your routine from scratch.
How long is the book?
Short, direct, and real — no filler. You can read it in a single sitting. Every chapter exists because it solves a specific problem real fasters face.
If you're tired of starting over — this is the book.
Short. Direct. Real. No fluff, no recycled science, no theories that don't work in real life. Just the tools, routines, and mindset shifts that help ordinary people win with fasting.
