Worth reading, a must read

I’ve been on a number of diets and seen doctors and nutritionists. Susan addresses the issue most others ignore, will power. Her dietary advice isn’t profoundly new with the caveat that she does promote you give up sugar and flour, period. She doesn’t just tell you the magic formula to weight loss, she tells you why to do it using science. And not the science of how we lose weight which I’ve heard about for years, but the science of the brain. BLE is the first method that not only convinced me for the first time in my life to permanently give up sugar and flour and not feel bad or like I’m missing out. I have loved sugar and flour my whole life. I’m fairly fit currently, but I did not like the power sugar had over me and the way it was prematurely aging me. So even though I’m just a few days into the process, I feel freer than I have in years.

Frustrated Listener

Revisado: 04-09-21

I was hoping to be inspired and grow. I was significantly distracted by the content in the chapter, "All is pure." At some point I was outright offended when the author spoke of an affair between a college professor and his student in which most of the blame seem to fall on the student. I think my anger arose when the word "harlot" was used. The situation implied that the professor was merely a victim who was seduced by the student. I was also caught off guard when the author said most angry men have a pornography addiction. Unless there is factual data to back up this outlandish claim, I don't see the benefit of sharing such a harmful judgment.

What drove me to write this review was his polar description of the woman's body as being heavenly (via heteronormative marital sex, giving birth and breast feeding) versus being a source of evil temptation via pornography. I find this narrow objective view of a woman's body to be offensive. Not to mention all the blame is placed on the woman's body as if it does not belong to a person with a soul and very little is placed on the person who chooses to objectify a woman's body. I do think the author has wisdom to offer in the book, but I would love for him to reconsider his language use and his views on women.

Must read!

I have never felt compelled to write a review before, but this book is excellent in plot, character, narrative, pace, and descriptions. It’s very well written and worth reading. It has a good mystery at its base. The actors who narrate are also excellent!!
