Steve Young ，

Great for a beginner just getting into health and nutrition。 If you have been in the game for a while， this nothing new。 Really just a refresher for me。 Although， valuable for the friend I gifted it to。

Audiobook read by Brad Kearns。 I love Mark Sisson。 I've listened to most of his books。 Lots of good information here。 If you are new to Mark Sisson or Intermittent Fasting or paleo/ low carb etc。 start with Primal Blueprint。 This book is a bit like drinking from a fire hose if you are new to this line of thinking。 Also， Mark Sisson comes from the perspective of a professional athlete， so may not be relevant for everyone。 Yes good information for everyone， but if you've mostly lived a sedentary l Audiobook read by Brad Kearns。 I love Mark Sisson。 I've listened to most of his books。 Lots of good information here。 If you are new to Mark Sisson or Intermittent Fasting or paleo/ low carb etc。 start with Primal Blueprint。 This book is a bit like drinking from a fire hose if you are new to this line of thinking。 Also， Mark Sisson comes from the perspective of a professional athlete， so may not be relevant for everyone。 Yes good information for everyone， but if you've mostly lived a sedentary life and aren't intending to hit the gym， just go read Jason Fung's books。 However， if you are looking for the latest information with the classic Mark Sisson twist - and you know he experimented on himself first， then this is a good book。 There are journal activities and even a "jump start 14 days" that sound intriguing， but the pdf with the audio does not include them so you either need the ebook or have a pen and paper at hand。 If you want a verbatim audio reading with no personality， don't get the audio。 Brad Kearns used to get on my nerves narrating but he's grown on me。 He does crack jokes outside of the text and injects plenty of personality。 。。。more

Kerri ，

Returning because the recipes in this book are a whopping 900-1500 cal each。 Even at two meals a day that’s far beyond what anyone should be eating。 No thanks I’ll stick to a normal calorie intake and intermittent fasting like I’ve done for months。

You can move along folks。 There’s nothing new to see here！Two Meals a Day tries to combine the currently fashionable intermittent fasting with a grain-less， processed sugar-free， and no seed oil diet。 It also throws in aerobic exercise， journalizing， Marie Kondozing， and orange light only before bedtime。 If you were an alien arriving from Europa， this book could catch you up on every major fitness fad。 Unfortunately， most Earthlings have already heard of everything mentioned in this book。 I also You can move along folks。 There’s nothing new to see here！Two Meals a Day tries to combine the currently fashionable intermittent fasting with a grain-less， processed sugar-free， and no seed oil diet。 It also throws in aerobic exercise， journalizing， Marie Kondozing， and orange light only before bedtime。 If you were an alien arriving from Europa， this book could catch you up on every major fitness fad。 Unfortunately， most Earthlings have already heard of everything mentioned in this book。 I also think trying to “fix” all of these things in one twelve-day period is an unachievable goal。While Two Meals a Day may be motivating for some， I need to have at least one original idea per self-help book。 Unfortunately， this book fails on even that simple of a criteria。 2 stars。Thanks to Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

The authors absolutely don’t sugar coat anything in this book。 That’s a good thing。 If you are reading this book most likely you have been contemplating a life style change to get healthy。 This book will help you on that journey but it won’t baby you along。 After walking you through the steps， there’s a 12 day turbocharge to get you started。 It won’t be easy but it’s worth it。

increase energy and focus; minimize your risk of diabetes， cancer， heart disease， and cognitive decline; and enjoy your maximum healthspan …”Here’s my observation:I noticed through the years that many of these diet gurus and “nutrition” experts spend several boring chapters， and sometimes complete books， attempting to convince readers that modern science is wrong， bad， and most often， “ridiculous。” They blame our fat-and-sugar-laden bodies on the evils of marketing and our human stupidity for becoming “brainwashed” by our favorite fast-food fried chicken。It’s not your fault Joe/Jane Reader。 It’s those morons in the nutritional science marketing department。These diet authors appear to be holding the golden ticket to the next modern science breakthrough。If modern nutritional science is so bad， so ridiculous， why is it the global “standard” to begin with？ Why doesn’t the “standard” ever change？ If， after decades and the countless careers of highly-educated， brilliantly-minded scientists dedicated to modern medical and nutritional science， can’t get the nutrition game right， then why do these authors believe they have the secret remedy to humanity’s ridiculous scientific predecessors。 And why aren’t these author’s diets the new “standard？”And， here’s another thing: why are these terrible scientists watching over nutritional standards making so much money？ Should they get a reprimand or a pay cut or something？The only industry I know that argues more among itself is the churches: Catholic， Protestant， Presbyterian， Methodist， Mormon， Jehova。 I think those high-educated people call themselves theologists。 Ug。 Don’t get me started。 Well， despite these authors’ Carnegie sales pitch， I still harbor trepidation about this diet。Here’s this book’s golden nugget pitch。 “I eat only during the hours between 1:00 p。m。 and 7:00 p。m。，” Sisson writes。 “I usually break my fast with my world-famous Sisson Bigass Salad， then enjoy an evening out with my wife， Carrie， at one of the many fabulous restaurants near my home in Miami Beach。”Sisson goes on to say that “many” days he’s too busy to make his centerpiece salad – so he eats “（either a smoothie， a few squares of dark chocolate smothered in nut butter， a healthful meat-and-veggie frozen meal， or a small bowl of leftover steak） before enjoying a celebratory dinner later。”Now， that sounds healthy。This book goes on and on， rewriting our cumulative nutritional foundation and makes a variety of suggestions that I thought were already “standard。”This is an excellent book for readers who want more than 250 pages of text and illustrations outlining Sisson’s plan with a few recipes thrown in at the end。 I truly wish these men – and their publisher – a great run with their diet book。 Some people will likely succeed in their goal to lose weight with this method – and for those folks – this is the book for you。 Congratulations on finding something that works in your situation。But for me？ Not a chance。 I like food too much， and I honestly think that the whole nutritional argument industry is ridiculous。BoutiquePublishingService@hotmail。comBoutiqueBooks@hotmail。comHappy are those who respect the Lord and obey him。 You will enjoy what you work for， and you will be blessed with good things。 Psalm 128: 1-2 。。。more
