While reading it, it read more like Freakanomics than an encyclopedia of "how to lose weight". Its more about heres some cool shit i/we've saw happening, heres what we did, try it out. He never advocates heavy drug use or any of that shit. He even mentions: "Medication = can give you weight loss, but trade off is long term damage to your body"
Now heres one interesting thing... if you think "eat whatever you want and you will lose weight" is bullshit, consider this: I used to love drinking soda. Drank it by the gallons. I stopped due to weight gain. Now I don't crave it, I am mostly repulsed by it, and am quite happy just drinking water, in fact I can drink whatever I want because I want water.
Over time your mindset will change, you simply got used to a lifestyle of excessive eating and thus... "I don't want to give up my donuts in the morning". Just eating fruits daily makes me repulsed by eating processed sweets (donuts and the like) because there is so much more and better flavor out there that is not due to just adding tons of sugar.
- hackerblues 16y ago" I used to love drinking soda. Drank it by the gallons. I stopped due to weight gain. Now I don't crave it, I am mostly repulsed by it" I've had a similar experience. A few months ago I moved overseas and as a result have drastically changed my diet, including large reductions in salt, sugar and caffeine. The results have been mixed: - I get huge sugar cravings at times which I've never had before, - I can't stand the quantities of salt I would have eaten before and it makes me physically sick, - I have no desire to consume more or less caffeine but when I do have it I can't sleep at all. I don't know what any of these particular changes mean but I've been surprised by the strength of my bodies reaction to the changed diet.
