Amazing!

Revisado: 04-21-22

I highly recommend this book to anyone with metabolic or weight problems, and anyone curious about fasting or intermittent fasting. Do you want to be healthy? This book is for you!

I had been curious for a while, and read/listened to several books and articles about fasting, but none of them were as comprehensive or sensible as this book. I don't have any serious health problems, but I'm in my mid-50s so they are lurking around every corner and ready to pounce. My biggest concern is obesity and all the problems it can bring on.

I put on a significant amount of weight during perimenopause and menooause, and tried several things to lose the excess weight including adjusting calories, macros, food types, meal sizes & timing among other things. I do CrossFit, ride a bike, and jog, so all the experts insisted I needed to eat more. Sure, that works for a lot of people, but not me. Turns out I needed a quick fast to reset and do some insulin correction, then a reduction in daily caloric intake. I took a week off from working out so my body could adjust, then went back to my normal fitness routine, but now I have two peices of low calorie, keto friendly toast and a little bit of fruit before working out. I haven't lost any speed or strength. In fact, I move a lot easier now that I've lost some weight! I will go for a jog or do other cardio while fasted, but I get some carbs before weightlifting. This book refers to a couole of power lifters and their fasting routines, so I'll check those out next. I've lost 20 lbs in the last 45 days and I feel great! My bloodwork from a few days ago shows everything not just within normal ranges, but at optimal levels.

I do intermittent fasting, and have cut my calories to what my body needs, not what the average (or young, physically fit & active) person needs. I am also eating more whole, natural foods. Yes, I was hungry the first couple of weeks, but that is subsiding. I sit at a desk all day long, so I don't need to eat a lot, especially since I still have a lot of stored fuel. I will adjust as I get to my goal weight/body fat percentage, but I am confident I can maintain a healthy weight now. I know what I need to do if I start puffing up again. I finally found what works for me!!!

I have a paper copy of this book, but never found the time to read it. I am so glad I checked Audible!!! I'm like a walking billboard for this book and audio book now!

Great Lesson in Equal Rights

Revisado: 01-25-22

I loved the movie, but the book is so much more. I was recently in college, and was surprised by how bad the young students thought racism and sexism were in America. The perspective they have is very different from mine, because they haven't seen the dramatic strides toward equality that I have seen in my lifetime. Sure, people are still racist and sexist, but now anyone can go to school and get a job. Things can always get better, but people need to know things have been getting better over the years.

Clever, entertaining story

Revisado: 07-28-21

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It provided me with hours of entertainment and mental escape from tedious tasks. The story is clever, and the main character adds humor and optimism even in the most dangerous moments. The narrator does a fantastic job portraying the different personalities. Loved it!

Brilliant!

Revisado: 06-12-21

Great story! The author weaved a couple of clever tales, both part of the same story. I was able to guess the supporting story, but the main mystery didn't reveal itself until the end. Very well done. The narrator was superb, and did the book justice.

Cute and entertaining story

Revisado: 06-04-21

A cute little murder mystery made absolutely delightful by the narrator. The likeable, good-natured characters provided a fun little escape. I look forward to listening to more.

Action packed and horoughly enjoyable!

Revisado: 05-27-21

I really enjoyed this book and found it difficult to stop listening. I am a fan of the Gray Man series and the Mitch Rapp series, so I thought I'd try this to see if it was as entertaining - I was pleasantly surprised. Good job!

Good History of String Theory

Revisado: 04-11-21

This book is full of grest information, but it gets a bit complicated for people with no physics education. I picked up good info, the examples and analagies were fantastic, but the later chapters were over my head. I may listen again after reading something like "Physics for Dummies".

Hysterical!

Revisado: 04-06-21

I love the Tom Stranger stories, they're very entertaining! I love the humor, and the way it pokes fun at namby pamby liberals who can't take a joke.

Fun Book, Very Entertaining!

Revisado: 04-04-21

This is a really fun book telling the story of Chad in the Monster Hunter books. I'm a fan of monster hunting stories - Night Stalker in the 70s, then X Flies when they hunted monsters, Fringe, Supernatural when they hunted monsters (I'm a girl, of course I kept watching even through the terrible angel/demon drama, hot guys beat bad screenwriters). Anyway, the book is well written and entertaining from start to finish. As a retired Marine, I loved Chad's story, and all of the Marine references. Somebody did serious research.

John Ringo and Larry Correia developed witty and likeable charactera, and kept my interest. Oliver Wyman is a superb narrator, perfect for this book. Well done!
