I was hopeful that this audio book would reveal some new information but I was mostly disappointed. If you’re a reader who really enjoys biochemistry, you will probably get more out of the research findings than I did. That part was just boring and over my head (and I took biochemistry in college and worked in healthcare). Anyway, I think that if this book was in a format other than audio, the reader could read slowly and take notes if so inclined. But the book does have some merit - the author reiterates practical advice for weight loss but nothing really new here. I appreciate his stance on fat-shaming not being OK but he doesn’t believe that any size body can be a healthy body and his research backs this up. The practical advice was a nice refresher for me. I did have a couple of problems with some passages in the book. The first is not the author’s fault but he cited a study that indicated that mothers can cause childhood obesity. How about fathers with unhealthy habits? The study seems biased to me. My second issue is that the author dismissed supplements and detox programs (and I don’t necessarily disagree with this opinion) but then immediately went on to promote one particular detox supplement. Just seemed incongruent to me. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend taking any time on this audiobook.
