3.5*
As someone who has struggled with being overweight or obese my whole life I find most books on the subject interesting. Prior to starting this book I actually embarked on (yet another healthier eating plan) by severely reducing ultra processed foods and added sugar.
In 2019 I successfully lost around 41kg in weight. Over the next 7 years I have regained and lost at least half of this amount over and over again and one extremely useful part of this book is the insight into the body's weight 'set point' and how yo yo dieting can disrupt our metabolism. Another interesting part of the book is the role of epigenetics in weight, an interest of mine and a perspective I hadn't considered before.
Overall there is nothing earth shattering in here and no new miracle plan (which is what I like about the book). Just sound ideas based on studies and common sense.
My only gripe would be the final section about the 'how' to make changes. Wheat and whole grains are massively discouraged and as a pescetarian I would struggle to cut down on things Iike tofu / tempeh and whole grains which make up a huge part of my diet and large contributor to my fibre intake which is a priority for me (and not covered in the book at all other than citing that there are ongoing studies in to the effect of the gut microbiome on weight).

Der Titel des Buches ist nach beenden des Textes irreführend…wirklich ein bemerkenswerter Text der mit den Mythen der Diätkultur aufräumt. Besonders gefallen hat mir wie Hypothesen sowohl an Fallbeispielen, Statistiken und Studien als auch in der Evolutionsgeschichte verankert wurden.
Jenkinson gelingt es außerdem seine Erkenntnisse klar und auf gewisse Weise auch artistisch zu präsentieren, was das Lesen sehr angenehm macht. Kann ich nur empfehlen. (4 und nicht 5 Sterne weil 1-2 Thesen für mich nicht ganz schlüssig waren.)

For me, this book shows the perspective on food-metabolism relate to obesity and how to control your bodyweight. It is written in accessible language, yet base on medical study(from 1980s-2010s). The author mentions not only energy in-out but also the effect of gut hormone/food type, set point of your bodyweight(in my opinion this keyword 'weight set point' may change your perception about weight loss and weight gain problem in your life) If you want to understand or try to reduce your weight this book will guide you through basic of metabolism and weight control.

Very repetitive. Fell asleep quite a lot while reading. However, there were some interesting elements

[Caroline Croezen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very interesting but perhaps a bit too much science!

[Sarina Rana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very insightful and digestible with insight into metabolic medicine that we don't get taught fully

[Denise · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent. I'm sure it's all true, & I'm trying to cut out the sugar, & eat more real food!
