bailedI have mixed feelings about this book. It‘s a great WWII story. It‘s a great adventure story. It has some interesting points and ideas about exercise that really get you thinking. Unfortunately, this is not a book for someone struggling in their relationship with food or recovering from (or suffering with) an eating disorder.

GingerAntics The book advocates a type diet that has been proven time and again to not have the claimed health benefits and even cause harm to one‘s health. This book even goes as far as to claim Paleo/Keto/Atkins aren‘t diets because you‘re not counting calories or restricting portions. How ridiculous.👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 (edited) 2y
GingerAntics You‘re restricting whole food groups! That is a diet, pure and simple. It doesn‘t matter if the Lakers all started doing it and Kobe Bryant liked it. It‘s madness. Our ancestors knew that bodies came in all different shapes and sizes. Our ancestors knew one‘s best bet is to eat as many varieties of food as possible. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 2y
GingerAntics The ridiculous notion of sugar addiction and it being as addicting as illegal drugs has been debunked so many times, for so many years, it shouldn‘t even have made it into this book. I wanted to love this book the way I loved Born to Run, but I should have taken the hint with the fatphobia in that book and just stayed away from this one. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 2y
GingerAntics This is just far and away scientifically disproven nonsense being touted as health/nutrition advice. Sorry, I didn‘t finish this book because I couldn‘t take anymore. I just couldn‘t do it. It had a cool story and a cool adventure to learn more about that story, but the focus should have stayed in that area as opposed to veering into nutrition myth and legend. 2y
