Too many visual references

Revisado: 12-02-22

Several parts of the “book” make reference to images and videos that aren’t made available here. Definitely would have benefitted more from the a/v version of this course.

Had to return book - performance was just awful

Revisado: 05-03-21

I wanted so much to be able to listen to and learn from this book - unfortunately the narration is awkward and robotic and super slow and I tried really hard to listen thinking that the author would find her groove but after 1 hour just had to give up. Such a shame given how engaging she is when I see her talking in online videos. Maybe try the sample before you buy or get the kindle edition and read it for yourself. I wish I had checked the reviews on Amazon UK and Amazon AU before I bought it as they were more helpful than the ones on Amazon.com

production distracting

Revisado: 11-20-20

essential reading to understand the madness of modern social tides. the production is unfortunately distracting with clear transitions even within a single sentence, and I found the narration difficult to get past and focus on the content.

Super patronising

Revisado: 02-10-20

While there was some interesting information in this book it felt like it was often stated with very broad brush strokes and no facts or references to studies to back it up. A lot of the information in the book is also available on line and is nothing new and sometimes contradicts itself - milk is bad but cream is good? It felt like this was overall an advertisement for the carnivore diet and very much biased towards it and other diets such as Atkins and cherry picks facts to support what he eats. I get the eating like your ancestors paleo aspect, but he seems deluded that our ancestors ate primarily meat and limited plants. The dialogue is often patronizing towards the rest of the medical profession and the listener - you either agree 100% with what he says or you are an idiot.
The narration was often robotic.
He talks a lot about weight loss - if you are interested in weight loss and health read the Obesity Code it is brilliant. If you are interested in health and what to eat, listen to How not to Die.

Thank you Gin!

Revisado: 12-26-19

I came across Gin's Facebook group first while I was starting to get curious about intermittent fasting and then decided to listen to her book. Best decision ever - she presents the information she shares so well and provided great references for follow on reading materials. Her narration style is great and this book has started me down a great new health journey.

Game changer

Revisado: 12-26-19

Wow - this book has made me absolutely re-evaluate my approach to health. This was so interesting and easy to follow and I really enjoyed the narration. Thank you Dr Fung - I learned so much in the time it took me to listen to this book especially about insulin resistance. So much suddenly makes sense.

Better books out there

Revisado: 12-26-19

I have recently become really interested in intermittent fasting and have read both Obesity Code and Delay, Don't Deny which were excellent books. I thought this would give me more insight into the science/process or phases of autophagy but it felt like a commercial for other keto books. It felt disjointed and failed to distinguish between ketosis and autophagy and didn't really address some of the points it claimed it was going to.
Narration often felt almost robotic but I don't know if that was because of the narrator or just the way the content is structured - I had to rewind back several times because some sentences just seemed to make no sense.

Insightful and brutally honest

This book is highly recommended for young people approaching adulthood, or young adults who are struggling to get traction in the world.
