Truth is inspiring

Revisado: 08-26-23

But I have little faith in either party ever truly representing the working class. Will Bernie run 2024? if not, then this is all just a good story

Good for keto newbies

Revisado: 05-02-22

Good for someone new to keto or trying to find variations of keto eating. I like the emphasis on "metabolic flexibility". But overall there is nothing new in this book, despite the authors claims, that others haven't been writing about for years in the keto and paleo world.

Turns everything into Wonderful story

Revisado: 03-10-20

And although authors narrating their own books usually don't do well, she does fabulous and is so pleasant to listen which helps given the gloom of what's happening. (should consider narrating more!)

Some things too generalized

Revisado: 06-01-19

Some things were very detailed, but some too generalized. Anytime high fat diet was discussed it was associated with processed foods and sugar. Very unfair and not helpful to those in a keto-like diet with lots of fat including both animal fat and non-animal. Also l, like me, all the animal fat is grass fed, organic etc. and that is world's away from the generalized mention of meat and animal fat focused on in the book which was processed, fast food, etc. In that regard it offered no help to me... Also, praise for some things that had no evidence were clearly author preference, like Mediterranean diet. Sure, olive oil from 800 year old trees is great for you, like those studied, but we don't live in the Mediterranean and the olive oil of the shelves or other obvious differences, can't be spouted as good for you because it seems to replicate Mediterranean eating.

When the author discussed hunter gatherers that still exist today, he pointed out some that reinforced his low animal based diet, but conveniently left out others like the Maasai and Samburu tribes that live primarily meat, milk and animal blood. Or the Inuit who eat fish, meat and whale fat.

Too many authors pick and choose examples to support their preference, for some books it's appropriate but for this book he should have kept it to evident based science and remember, even it was in support of his preferences, that correlation does not equal causation.

Put all that aside, most the information is fascinating and opens the door to a new and fully perspective on health and wellbeing.

Great exploration of fermented foods

Revisado: 05-20-19

The narrator is one of the best!

So many good for out there I didn't know about, exited to try them or make.

I was a little irritated with the generalizations made about meet fats based on mice studies, should have stayed off that topic as it was unfair and hardly informative enough to draw conclusions.

Too much repeat from other books

Revisado: 05-11-19

I get frustrated when authors but out different books with so much of the material being repeated information. If you have read other Sisson books much of this is the same info, slightly tweaked perhaps but otherwise 90% of repeat material.

if you haven't read other Sisson books, go for it is good and answers many questions if you are new to keto.

I found the most helpful is the references to other sources, that has turned me ok to other great books or info.

Same well known facts, but...

Revisado: 03-30-19

presented from a whole new perspective. Great book but ends with ideas that are finally becoming more mainstream.

I don't like how the author generalizes readers and assumes we all drink coke and tweet all day- don't write for the lowest common denominator... most interested in this book aren't that stereotypical reader you assume we are- gets annoying

Good stuff, but mostly repeats

Revisado: 09-13-18

I loved Sapiens and Dues, recommended to many friends and family. I was really excited for this book but was disappointed as so much of it was repeat from earlier books, it felt like the Cliff Notes for Dues. If I hadn't read the other books this would be 5* all the way, but I did...

Should be mandatory!

Revisado: 08-02-18

Fabulous book and so informative so many things I've thought were other problems really were just one, and a few things leading up to it, a lack of sleep. I only wish knew these things earlier in life.
