There's a lot of fluff in the fitness and nutrition industry, but Christine Hronec is the real deal. I discovered her through her YouTube videos and have since purchased several of her meal plans, so I was familiar with the language of macros. If this your first time encountering the concept in depth, it can get very technical but I believe that she does a good job breaking everything down. Even though I've been exposed to much of the subject matter of this book through Christine's free content, this was still well worth the buy. There's no substitute for having everything in one place that's easy to bookmark and reference. And you get a lot more in depth information about the factors behind carb tolerance, as well as her list of sources which you can research on your own if you choose. I have PCOS, and this is one of the few books I've read that addresses hormonal issues in regard to weight loss that was not written specifically about PCOS. It also gave me more information about the effect of low carb/keto diets beyond the surface level "carbs hold more water" and "sugar is bad". For instance- did you know that it's important not to overdo it on protein in a keto diet because your body can break down protein into glucose as well? I sure didn't!

If you're someone who knows they just need to buckle down and reduce junk foods and start working out, this probably isn't the book for you. BUT if you've tried eating right and exercising to no avail, this is for you. If you're low carb/keto curious, this is for you. This would probably also be a good book for professional athletes or bodybuilding competitors who are looking to fine tune their nutrition and want a new perspective.

I'd recommend this book not only for people who are looking to get in shape, but also for those who just want to understand how to eat to feel better.

Christine Hornec put a lot of care and research into this book. She didn't just tell you to follow some protocol based on the quiz results you got, she took care to explain how our bodies process food, and how it affects things like hormones, etc. Which is why I find this book to be a great, informative beginners guide to understanding nutrition. If you don't know where to start your journey to getting healthier, start here!

However, I'd not recommend it to those who have any background in nutrition, or stay on top of the most recent research, because you will not find anything new here. I'd also caution those with pre-existing health conditions that require dietary alterations that are not as simple as adjusting your macros. For example, if you're suffering from SIBO or IBS, this guide won't help you.

I've been following Christine's youtube channel since her early days and I'm glad to see this book make it's way into the world, and reach even wider audience. Everything she has ever spoken about in her youtube videos is now in one place. One stop guide to nutrition and fitness. Backed by research and real life results.

Thank you to Mariner Books for providing an advanced reading copy!
