Review: A refreshing approach

Many diet and exercise books, while initially attractive (of course I'd love to feel amazing, and have all of my health problems disappear!) turn out to be stuffed full of hyperbole, and leave me feeling as though I'd just watched a really long infomercial. The style in which this book is written is refreshing- instead of talking down to the reader and working them up with tons of loaded language, this book cites studies and even EXPLAINS those studies as a way to dispel common diet myths, and to educate the reader on all sorts of health points, such as the lesser known causes of obesity, including insulin resistance and sugar addiction. And, I jumped for joy when I saw this, because this is one of my own dearly-held beliefs- the book discusses why saturated fat is actually GOOD FOR YOU. And the exercise and training regimen is super of-the-moment. I feel as though I have a bunch of new information in my health arsenal now. This book packs a ton of value, and I'm glad I downloaded it.
