Book Review

There are a lot of books about how to lose weight. But losing weight is not a reason you might want to read this book. The things I like about this book is that it talks about ?WHY? we get fat. It?s not all about how much we eat and not about how much we exercise. Obesity is caused by fat regulation disorders. And, the cause of the disorder is carbohydrate we consume over time. ?This book takes you down the the deeper level of what carbohydrate do to our fat and muscle cells.

It sounds too technical for most people, isn?t it? But it?s not. The authors, for most parts, use common medical terms that we heard when we do annual check-up such as cholesterol or triglyceride. By the way, if you?d like to know why ?triglyceride? is call ?triglyceride?, you have to read this book.?

I really like the narrator of this book too. His voice an tone keep my engaged throughout the book.

Takeaways

• You don?t have to be hungry or exhaust yourself to be lean. You just have to resist the temptation of carbohydrate (e.g., bread, sugar) consumption.?
• Sugar is like drug. It?s bad for your body, yet you enjoy consuming it. The more you consume, the more your body need it and the worse your body becomes. Despite this knowledge, it?s hard to give up on sugar.?

Quotes

?Common sense can be an effective guide. But common sense isn?t that common even among scientists. And, often what science tells us is that the things that appears to be common sense aren?t common?

?What set science and the Law apart from religion is that nothing is expected to be taken on faith.?

?Gaining weight is good for business.???

?If undereating is not a cure, overeating would not be a cause.?

?You don?t get fat because of your metabolism slows. Your metabolism slows because you?re getting fat.???

?You don?t lose fat because you cut calories. You lose fat because you cut out the food that make you fat, Carbohydrate.??

?There are very good reasons to be physically active. But weight lose does not appear to be one of them.?

Book or Audiobooks?

There is one more reason that may encourage you to go for the audiobook version. You can?get it?now for FREE. Audible offers you a free trial for 14 days. Even if you get the book and cancel the subscription right away (so that you don't have to pay), you can keep the book. And, don't worry if you lost the audiobook file. Just log into audible.com. You can keep downloading the over and over again.About the summary: It takes time to finish up a book. And, when you do, sometimes, you want to review what you learn from the book. If you do not make? notes as you read, you might have to go through the book once again. This can be time-consuming when you are dealing with a book. But you can still flip through the book and locate what you are looking for.

However, when the material is an audiobook, it is extremely hard to locate a specific part of content. Most likely you will have to listen to the entire audiobook once again.

This book summary will help solve the pain of having to go through the book all over again.

I am leaving out the details of the books. Most books have interesting examples and case studies, not included here. Reading the original book would be much more entertaining and enlightening. If you like the summary, you may want to get the original from the source below.
