The science in the first two sections is fascinating, the last section needs a major content warning for the author's frankly disordered relationship with food/eating/exercise/whatever in the “How I Do It” chapter - apparently she eats 1000 calories a day, stops eating at 3:00 (so no dinner with her kids or anything), and exercises 2 hours a day, all to keep off “that last ten pounds.” Woof. I can't recommend this one, and I actively warn you against reading it if you have a history of disordered eating.
