The Minimalist's Guide to Fitness: IF, HIT, and Much More

Book Review


The Minimalist's Guide to Fitness: Intermittent Fasting, High Intensity Training, and Much More
By Thomas Hilmersen


The author has done his research. I have read most of the material presented here in other books and some of the books referenced in this book and it is all accurate. Save yourself some time and just read this book to learn the most effective way to workout and to eat healthy.

I have been doing high intensity workouts for the past three months while following a slightly different version of the slow carb diet (mine does not include cheat days and alcohol) and I have gotten great results. I have been looking for somebody that explains IF (intermittent fasting) and HIT (High Intensity Training) and this is it.

The book even has a chapters about optimizing sleep and how to dress well. These chapters are short, but do not underestimate the power of the advice given there.

I have been able to double my strength in 13 twenty minute workouts following the advice on this book and have lost almost 4 inches from my waist eating in a similar way. I cant wait to see the results in another 3 months now that i will be adding IF.

I am very thankful to the author for taking the time to write this book.
