 This Actually Makes Sense
I love this book! After reading it cover to cover I thought, finally a health and diet book that not only makes sense, but isn't a typical unrealistic "diet"! I really appreciated the authors explaining the science behind the concepts so that I can actually understand what my body is thinking and reacting in order to manage my weight and health. There are actually over 800 references. I borrowed the book to my mother and interestingly, one of the first things she asked was where the recipes and grocery lists were. I told her that is exactly what makes the book so great. I think we've all done more than one diet that cleaned out our fridge and cupboards of the foods we've eaten our whole lives, only to quit the diet within 2 weeks, throw the "diet" food away and then re-buy our food. This book taught me how to incorporate my favorite foods into a healthy lifestyle - with timing of meals being most important. Both my mom and I have lost weight and feel better!

 WOW!
I think I finally found the holy grail! I have been studying nutrition topics for more than 15 years, and this book really breaks down the details of the hormones involved in weight loss/ weight gain. They have done a great job gathering all the research together and deciphering it. I like how they show that simple vitamin and amino acid combos can help reset things. What I do not like is that they push their own products. They will say you need one version of a vitamin that is "more bio-available" and they just happen to be one of a few people that carry that product for a really high price. Amazing that. I am still experimenting with the nutritional supplements to see how well their advice works in the practical world. But for the science part of it I am very pleased.

Excellent!
I gave it a four because I'm not finished with it. It is very interesting and I am learning so much.

 Well researched, but more than a bit snobbish ( doevans )
The authors are only willing to help the chosen ones. Mother didn't nurse you when you were born? Hopeless. Took some amphedimines in college while studying for final exams? Hopeless. You get the idea. So, if you're one of those perfect people who lived a Susie-Creamcheese life, this is the book for you. But, if you're so perfect, why would you need it? Gave them 2 stars for research alone; wouldn't recommend this book to any of my friends.

A Must Read
Hi,
The book is as awesome as I expected. This is a must read book for everyone who is living now in present day stressed up times.
The concepts are clearly explained and the possible implications and expectations.
I would like the author be consistent with the supplements suggested in the book and that are advertised on [...] and a link to any outdated information in this edition of the book to the present research.
Otherwise its a amazing book !!!
