    • 2019, Jaime Rose Chambers, 16:8 Intermittent Fasting, Sydney: Macmillan, →ISBN, page 77:
      I suggested easing into some changes very slowly by following the least 'diety' approach, and part-day fasting for just a few days of the week to get a feel for it.
    • 2020, Glenn Mackintosh, Thinsanity[2], Sydney: Hachette, →ISBN:
      Get pre-prepared meals delivered. If you're not up for shopping or cooking yet, allow someone to do it for you! There are plenty of services around. Try to stay away from the big weight-focused ones (or, if they're the only option and you feel you can do them without your mind becoming too diety, do the higher-calorie options so your body doesn't rebel).
