If you've ever been confused with all the back and fourth between high carb, low carb, high fat, low fat, etc., then this book will clearly explain why all the various diet fads can fall short in the long run.  John explains the pros and cons of each macro-nutrient, and helps you realize that in the end it's all about balance.The best part of the book however is where he goes into details about habits.  He breaks down the science of habits and how you can finally free yourself from old addicting unhealthy habits and instill healthier habits.  This is absolutely key for making sure your diet success is sustainable over the rest of your life.  It also means that even if you think you have no willpower, you can still succeed when you know how to work with your brain to create changes from the inside out.The food recommendations are all good and you shouldn't find yourself feeling deprived with all the options.As a fitness enthusiast, I can recommend the Freedom Diet because it's simple, effective, and prioritizes maintaining good health as being equal to weight loss.
