Not a Diet Book

by James Smith

This is a good book with a good amount of information which helps debunk a lot of myths that abound about health, fitness, and diet. I already knew most of it though, so it wasn't super new to me and all that I know was gained for free online, so while the book is a great way to get that info in a single place easily without need for researching it yourself - it is available for free and pretty easy to find with a little research. Still, I listened to this via my library, so I didn't have to pay for it, so no loss for me.

One thing I really appreciated is that he took the time to actually discuss menstruation and how the menstrual cycle - and other female stages - can impact hunger, diet, calorie loss/gain, energy levels and the like. Not many people actually look at this even a little bit, they don't even acknowledge that the female body is different to the male body and that the monthly changes we endure have massive impact on so many things. I would like to read a book that goes into that topic as the main focus rather than just a small chapter.

I do recommend this book if you struggle to understand health, diet, and fitness and/or find the vast amount of info out there to be just too much and too confusing.
