There are 2 basic concepts - don’t eat processed foods, and skip breakfast. What makes it interesting is the science about insulin levels and how those affect fat burning. I like the idea of “intermittent fasting” and can see this regime appealing to fans of the 5+2 diet.

The downside is it could do with being a bit more lively - it’s quite dry and academic and you have to go quite a long way through before you get to the point. I would love it to be completely reorganised to have a clearer, fresher structure then I can see it would easily get a higher rating. The science could then support the plan rather than being the main focus.

Currently it’s really aimed at the middle aged overweight bloke who takes no exercise and is a poor cook. It’s s shame that the audience is limited in this way.

This book is simple.amd easy to follow , as far as the science involved is explained. How the diet works and what to do and how to start the diet is all explained in detail. Wether it works or not , is a thing to be seen after trial. It is a good read nonetheless. Food for thought and introspection of our lifestyle. It might get boring after some time though specially as some information is repetitive. I would have liked more visuals and diagrams in the book.
