The podcast If Books Could Kill has a pretty good breakdown of all the bullshit in this book too
Highly recommend that podcast in general. The Jonathon Haight takedown prob my favorite
Dude this looks amazing, thanks for the recommendation!
Glad you liked it, it has offered me many hoursodf fun listening :) If you like Michael Hobbs, one of the two presenters, he has another podcast too, Maintenance Phase. It's very different thematically though, it's about nutrition and our bad understanding of how our bodies work when it comes to weight. Lots of interesting myth busting there too.
That sounds good too! Thanks
