Eat Smarter: Use the Power of Food to Reboot Your Metabolism, Upgrade Your Brain, and Transform Your Life

An excellent guide that contains a lot of information on the human body, nutrition and what foods actually do for us, physically, mentally and socialy. There is also a detailed section about intermittent fasting which seems to be supported by some evidence and refuted by other studies. One of the most important things he emphasises is that the best meal and excersise plans are the ones that you will actually stick to, rather than attempt an overly-ambitious plan and stop it after a short time.

I can't get through this book. I know metaphors are his thing, and all, but the pop culture references are just too much They're an unnecrssary distraction from what I'm sure is otherwise a thoroughly researched treatise on healthy eating. I'm always so impressed with his knowledge, but this delivery style is just not for me.

Jam packed with so much compelling, interesting information and legitimate studies to support that info. It's clear that a lot of time was invested in researching and personally testing things. Nutritional science is one of the least understood fields of science by the general public. Disturbingly enough, that's not by accident. For decades, huge food companies have had unchecked control over what "scientific" information regarding nutrition reaches your eyes and ears. It also doesn't help that our own government is complicit and aids in the deception. Even higher education nutrition courses are filled with information that simply can't all be trusted. Now that the internet exists and is widely used, that's all being exposed by people who genuinely want to help others; people who ACTUALLY care about finding the truth. If you're not sure about what to believe anymore when it comes to food, then this book is for you. One con: The info is, at times, not well organized.
