I got this as a free book through BookBub, and despite the horrible title and bad cover, I picked it up because I am a sucker for self-help books, especially self-help books for problems I don't have. I also love non-fiction books about science, and anything about food.
I'm not a dieter. I may possibly be the only woman in the western hemisphere who hasn't dieted at least once. I avoid low-fat, sugar-free, low calorie, zero carb, and all the health fads that come by. I don't drink smoothies with acai berries in them, I didn't drink Dr. Braggs vinegar, add flax seed to my protein shakes and I roll my eyes when people talk about something as being a miracle food. Believe in diets? I barely believe in vitamins. But this book isn't a diet book. Not exactly.
The basic premise of this book is that your body develops fat as a way to store toxins it can't process, and that food you can't digest properly is counted as toxic. Here's the part that hooked me: he offers a series of tests you can do (mostly ph analysis of body fluids) to find out what your imbalances are. To a hypochondriac who loves science, this is like crack cocaine.
I've done some research on some of the things he's talked about since I read this book. It's like falling down the rabbit hole. This is one of my first forays into this branch of alternative medicine. I had no idea how deep this went. Hale emphasizes that he has no medical credentials. He's a comedian, he says, not a doctor. This is a little like a politician bragging about how they have no political experience: I know it appeals to some people, but I'm not one of them. Still, by the authority with which he talks about alternative medicine, it's clear he's been at this a long time. Maybe he's even good at it. I know that his comedic skills didn't manifest well. I found his asides distracting rather than amusing most of the time. That often happens when stand-up comedians write books http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/... so I don't hold it against him.
I'm of mixed minds about this book. On one hand, doctors generally aren't very good at curing people of obesity. "Eat less, exercise more" is generally useless advice. One, everyone knows it. Two, most people can't do it, and three even people who manage to do it don't keep the weight off. There's a moral judgement about fat people that it's all about laziness, which frankly, I don't believe. I'm willing to entertain other theories as to why people keep piling on the pounds even when they are spending billions of dollars on diet an exercise tips.
Some of Hale's points make intuitive advice. Fat is a repository for toxin, so you can have trouble if you lose the fat without reducing the toxin buildup. Salt is not bad for you, and you can suffer from too little of it. Low-fat and sugar-free are not better than real food. He's got some points about organics which make intuitive sense (plants grown in non-nutritious soil are not nutritious) that have, frankly, not been proven or disproven. The most fascinating idea to me is that people have trouble digesting because their stomach makes insufficient acid, so you can digest food better if you have acid tablet supplements. He explains digestion in a way that not only sounds logical, but makes me nod in agreement, like "hey, he's right! Maybe we shouldn't go around cutting out gall bladders and tossing them away willy-nilly!"
But there are a lot of places where Hale's science is, frankly, sketchy. He says we can't digest carbs without sufficient "minerals" but then he neglects to say what these minerals are. He says to use sea salt rather than refined salt, but white sea salt is pretty damn pure, unless you're deliberatly seeking out the pink or grey stuff with magnesium or clay or algae. (Yes, I've read a book on salt.) He also says that coconut oil is better than olive oil because olive oil becomes "toxic" when heated. Well, um, the book I read about olive oil said nothing of the sort. He also says that organic plants defend better against pests because they have more "minerals" from the soil. Again with the minerals, and again, not quite true. (Organic plants are bred to produce their own pesticides-that's what disease resistance means--plants make their own bug-repelling chemicals.) He says with one breath that all sugar subsitutes are bad (I agree) and with the other, he says he uses stevia, because it comes from a plant and is "all natural". Nicotine comes from a plant and is also "all natural," that doesn't make it good for you. In my mind, stevia=fake sugar. If it tastes like a fake sugar and it quacks like a fake sugar, it's a fake sugar.
Hale also veers way into woo-woo territory when he starts talking about the things you should eliminate from your life if you want to avoid toxins. I'm willing to believe that you can inhale chlorine from your tapwater shower, and that maybe it's better to get a filter. I'm also onboard with fluoride being not-so-good for your body (except the teeth). But microwaving makes food bad for you? Microwaving alters the chemistry of water? (Besides just heating it?) That's somewhere between homeopathy and Masaro Emoto. He also, when mentioning toxins you should remove from your life, ignores the blindingly obvious one: alcohol. He also doesn't quite get how birth control works, and his blase advice to "use other methods" is kind of facile and insulting. (I live in a first world country, and I have health insurance, and I still wasn't able to get the non-hormonal birth control I wanted.)
Do I think this is interesting? absolutely. Do I believe him enough to start popping supplements (supplements=unregulated chemicals touting unproven benefits)? Not without additional research. I know, I know, supplements are "all natural." Anyone dumb enough to think that natural=healthy can sweeten their organic oleander tea with the naturally sweet mineral beryllium. Does this mean I think that everything Hale says is bull? No. Doctors don't have a monopoly on health information. And that's the thing. I think half of what traditional medicine tells us is true, and half of it is false, but the question is, which half? Alternative medicine is the same way. Some things that this underground of althealth people are researching are ahead of their time. Some of it is useless and/or harmful. Plenty of people have come up with unconventional ideas. It's hard to separate the good advice eg. "wash your hands before surgery" from the bad eg. "drink radium water!"
I think this book is fascinating to someone like me, who hasn't ventured into this alternative health/nutrition territory before. It's entertaining, if nothing else, and unlike many e-books, it has a table of contents with links, so if you wanted to re-read sections, you can go back.

There is so much information in this book. He discusses PH balance, Carbs, Gluten, diets as well as bringing in the real foods.
The way he writes is humorous and informational. He covers everything about eating, gas, bloating and constipation and loose stools.
Everything he says he explains how the foods that we eat are reacting to the acids in our body. He references his website and a CD often. There is downloadable charts on his website.
The knowledge I gained from this book was impressive. I am going to keep this close and pick up the PH strips he suggests to get my body prepared to be healthier.

Well I am disappointed that Goodreads doesn't have the front cover image on this book because it's just as cute and clever as the inside content. But the content isn't just entertaining (written by a comedian who lost his voice and spent 10 years researching the body chemistry seeking a cure). Anyway, I could say I've spent 50 years trying to lose weight, just 5 lbs, just 10 more lbs. etc etc etc, and if I'd have done the things recommended in this book to begin with I'd have never had such problems. My husband and I are reading it together and adding to the major lifestyle changes we've already done to lose a total of 80 lbs, now we are going to step it up to the next level, simply to understand our own body chemistry and work within those individual needs.
If you're sick and tired of the "calorie in/calorie out" method of weight loss, which does not work take it from me, then try this book. I got it free on Kindle but would gladly pay full price for the print version, which I will probably do since whenever my husband tries reading it from my Kindle he pushes buttons everywhere and makes the page disappear. Now if our fat disappears as readily I'll be very happy.

This is a really great book! If you've been struggling with your "relationship" with food- this is the book for you. If you enjoy a sense of humor while talking about bile and poop- this is the book for you. If you want TRUTH about weightloss and learning how to figure out what YOUR body needs- this is the book for you. If you've read 30-1,000 other "diet" books to only walk away deflated- this is the book for you. This book is filled with great information and is easy to read. It has made me think twice about what I put into my body. Definitely recommend!

Highly informative, enlightening and quite amusing as well.

With a title like this, I'm not sure how I ended up with it in my Kindle Library. Perhaps I bought it in a moment of insanity.
At 28% of the way through, it is still reading like an infomercial. It goes on and on with wonderful claims about itself. I'm continuing to read in the hope that I will eventually come across some meat.
I've finished the book. To me it's an infomercial.

When I started reading this book, I started to think, finally a guy who is actually telling us the truth about diets and weight loss, and I was getting to like some of the information he gave out.....but.....then there we have it.....the kick in the teeth for us people who will try anything to lose weight, he started to talk about buying dietary supplements and other things.
I only got half way through my Kindle edition of this book, as the author is just like all the rest of the so called diet guru's that are only in it to make lots of money, well have you ever seen a person who writes or sells diet items that is still poor....No neither have I

Stopped reading at 23% because the author can't stop shilling supplements and his website. Also, quotes no actual science to back up anecdotal evidence and bypasses the fact that old wives' tales are just as much "conventional wisdom" as allopathic medical advice. There is some good advice in what I read ("Eat real food", sure but everyone has been saying thst for years now), but also the tired old "rotting food in your gut" line used by the high-colonic crowd. There's better info out there supported by actual science.

KICK YOUR FAT in the NUTS
T.C HALE
Review by Author Roy Murry
T. C. Hale takes a boring subject and gives it a little comic relief to keep the reader's attention. Unfortunately, the subject is still dull and complicated, but a person who wants to be healthy should read this Kindle free book.
I agree with him on a few ideas. One: stay away from processed foods and cook your meals when possible. I have been doing this most of my adult life. Two: Work out as best you can. A gym is not needed.
My mother, wife, or maid cooked when we had one for the rest of it. So, life has been good to me. I walk and play golf. You?
If life hasn't been that good, and you stop off at McDonald's four times a week plus others, I recommend the insights in this book. A meal of proper unprocessed food will go a long way to keeping your body healthy. And, a walk a day may keep the doctor away.
T.C. has put this well-written subject into a package some may like - a security blanket. However, if you don't need a blanket, the read will help you know what not to do when eating.

This was a free book and as I am interested in diet and nutrition I thought it was worth giving it a go. Initially I thought it could be ok. It has some good advice "Eat real food" not junk etc etc and he explains how every single one of us is different and so there is no magic formula that will work for everyone. Great, but nothing new there. He does have some stuff regarding chemicals, hormones etc but it is all anecdotal and not backed up by science.
What was the biggest turn off for me was the near constant promotion of his website, and business selling supplements etc. He is actually just another "guru" who is after making his bank balance larger. This book is one big advert for "Tony".
The book is advertised as: "Tony will have you laughing out loud while he reveals the secrets behind weight loss". I am not laughing. Tony is one of those really irritating people who says stupid. inane stuff and thinks he is being really clever and funny. It was just annoying. He is so full of himself.
Don't waste your time and definitely don't spend any money on this book.

This book has great info, and certainly led me to begin following TC Hale's podcast---which by the way, is not only informative, but hilarious! I highly recommend it.
I am still in the process of being the "proof of the pudding", so I can't really give a definitive "does this work or not" result yet...and there are a couple of reasons why...
1---the self tests are fairly simple, especially if you only stick with the basic ones...but if you find you need to also do the intermediate ones, that can take a little more time. Not too much, but for me, not as quick as I had hoped, and it seems the days that I choose to do the tests just feel a little scattered with the extra stuff I am thinking about doing/having to stop and do. But if it helps, it is worth it, and i have definitely learned some things about myself that make sense for what I was experiencing daily!
2---a word about the coalition website he mentions where you can get help with self-tests: unless you are paying one of the practitioners associated with the site, it is really just a place to input your information and see it regurgitated back to you on a chart. I have not found it very helpful. I actually found that just using the hard copy versions of the data sheets is more helpful. However, membership to the site was only $20 (which is a chunk for me, but I took it out of my monthly health stuff allottment, so I wasn't too bothered). After the fact, I have since found that that site is really only helpful if you are working with one of the practitioners. I might have made a different choice had I known that in advance. I do find that I might like a little more guidance, but there are no practitioners in my area. (when I reached out to the website to ask for one, I found out that my options were to either get some fairly expensive one-on-one time via email with Tony or have them match me up with one of their practitioners for some distance coaching---and as I have a limited budget and have no idea what they would charge---it varies with each coach---I have been hesitant. That said, I do feel like I could use a little extra guidance, if I really want to see if this works).
In the meantime, at least I am aware of the reasons why it has been harder to get up in the morning than it used to be, why a certain way of eating that I used to do worked for me so well in some ways but had some issues in others, and has given me some awareness.
As someone who has been a nutrition geek for over a decade, even with a couple of nutrition certifications as well as fitness certifications, I found the info really enlightening and was astounded that no one has put it all together like this before---the revelations pertaining to me had to do with my low blood pressure, seemingly stuck in anabolic state, and tendency towards being too alkaline...so that awareness is a help!
now, how to get more mineral intake into my body. Working on the digestion stuff, but so far not seeing major difference, even with supplements reccommended---this is why I might need guidance.

New perspective on how to be healthy
In this book, Tony presents a great deal of information in an easily understood fashion. He reinforces that everyone is an individual and solutions to balance digestion must be individualized for optimal health . His premise is that an unbalanced digestive system has the potential to make us very ill. Balancing the digestive process has the potential to make us healthier.

It was fine I guess, it wasn’t exactly what I thought it was going to be that’s all.
It was funny and it gave a recap at the end of each chapter which was nice👌The author did give different kinds of menus to show what he was talking about in different scenarios, but I had trouble trudging through it all. I need a book that will give some down to earth advice with menus of food that I actually eat😩

A tad disappointed….
I tried very hard to get good information from this book. It became difficult, though because there were so many “I’ll tell you more about that in next chapter,” “I go into more detail in my other book,” or “this brand is the best brand (insert link here).” This was pretty much a walking advertisement that requires you to additionally purchase the others in the series in order to complete the puzzle.

Tough call, probably deserves two and a half stars.
Personally I am a skeptic, and I like hard evidence, not anecdotal stories.
But I did learn the importance of digestion, and the author does make quite a few good, common sense points.
The book is advertised as: "Tony have you laughing out loud while he reveals the secrets behind weight loss".
Not one laugh out loud moment.
Sorry Tony.

An info-merchial in book form. Just goes on and on about how it is going to change your life, and all the secrets the author is going to share. If you are looking for real lifestyle change, and sound advise.... look elsewhere.

Kick your fat
Rather like reading a very long Infomercial, lots of information (whether it's true, I don't know). "How to" rid your body of fats, toxins and the like. It was informative if not particularly stimulating.

He is covering a lot of ground. I see why it has so diverse reviews - based on the title, people most probably had different expectations from what is in the book.
He is stressing a lot on digestion, which is key to almost every problem in the body.

Entertaining and informative, even if it gets a bit repetitive. I read for his general perspective on digestion and took a few useful pointers (after all, he has suffered many issues until he figured things out his way, or so he claims if you are cynical.)

Couldn't finish the book due to the hype around coconut oil without giving the studies.

This book is unique as it takes on weight and health from the digestive prospective. It's an interesting read and often humorous.

Didn't finish it because it took too long to get to the point. There may be some good info here, but I skimmed most of it because of over long introductions.

A few good thoughts; a few ideas to consider. Too vague and yet too much jargon; too detailed; overwhelming; depressing; and not very usable. Too long, too repetitious.
