About Bert Herring
Bert Herring MD ("Dr. Bert") pioneered daily intermittent fasting, first experimenting with it himself in 1995, then studying it further and sharing it with the world in 2005 with the first guide to starting and reaping the benefits of a daily fasting/eating cycle, "The Fast-5 Diet and the Fast-5 Lifestyle."
Dr. Bert's focus is on real-world solutions: things that work for real people with real lives and real commitments like kids and jobs. He pays attention to what works for people who can't exercise eight hours per day, and he keeps his skepticism high when it comes to results that only concern lab rats, short-duration studies of only a few weeks' duration, and studies in which people are being observed (because, as Heisenberg said, observation changes things).
Dr. Bert also has little interest in temporary solutions. Temporary solutions may work, but if you can't sustain them, they can't become part of your lifestyle. He wants to arm people with the tools necessary to fight culture's drives to overeat and help them build a customized, low-hassle way of living that achieves a healthy balance and works for the long term.
Health goes far beyond diet, so Dr. Bert does too. To see more, look for his TEDx talk, "Did I Enrich Today?" which has over 175,000 views or visit his website, bertherring.com.

The Fast-5 Diet and the Fast-5 Lifestyle is a book about integrating intermittent fasting into a daily routine that gets appetite working like it should -- reducing intake if you have excess fat and maintaining a healthy weight if you don't. The Fast-5 rule is simple -- eat within five consecutive hours. The book is about how to get started, what to expect, and how to deal with the challenges of eating in a way that's not the social norm, but saves time, saves money, and is one of the most easily sustained choices for getting to and maintaining a healthy weight.

Appetite Correction (AC) is a revolutionary new focus in weight loss based on ten years of user experience with Dr. Bert’s ground-breaking guide to daily intermittent fasting, The Fast-5 Diet and the Fast-5 Lifestyle.
AC means getting your body’s appetite center working again, so not only do you lose excess fat, you lose it without being hungry, and once you’ve lost the weight, it stays off if you maintain the flexible, low-effort AC lifestyle. When the appetite center is working properly, you don’t want to eat more than you need.
