Excellent information to tweak your way of eating!

I will be re-reading this many times over. It is packed full of information.
I have enjoyed learning the new recipes to tweek my lifelong lifestyle of better food choices for body and brain. I always knew there was a colleration between the body issues like degenerative disc disease being related to incompatible food choices but it wasn't until I heard the research that backed up my own suspicions. Now I am so glad I stumbled upon this book it's definitely appeared at the right time.

Typical popular misleading nutritional advice

From the first couple of chapters it seemed like this book had a promise of something original. However it became evident rather quickly that the author simply preaches the same beat up concept of the fiber's importance in our diet as most everybody else. The latest anthropological data as well as the observations of the Hadza hunter-gatherers tribe do not confirm the presence of fiber on our ancestral diet. On top of that, the author appears to be completely unaware of the hazardous anti-nutrients, such as lectins, oxalates and others present in the variety of plant foods he recommends for the sake of the fiber consumption. A huge disappointment! This book is no different than the 99% of the books on nutrition that keep massaging the popular but wrongful nutritional misconceptions about the role of the plant-based foods in human diet.

Similes were a big miss

Shawn wrote a fantastic book in terms of the quality of information that is provided. He has clearly done his research and there are awesome nutrition suggestions in here. He also does a great job with his narration; he's got a voice for radio and reading his own work is clearly something he loves doing.
My only issue with this book is that Shawn tries WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY too hard to come up with humourous (sorry, I'm Canadian) similes to illustrate points for the readers and he makes far too many pop culture and sports references that will mean nothing to many readers. Shawn and I are around the same age and we have similar interests, so I understood each witty comparison or reference that he made, but they took away from the quality of the information and I often missed information because I was trying to make sense of why certain comparisons/similes/references were in there. There are so many of them that it was a constant annoyance and once I realized that the whole book was going to be full of them, I was a bit disappointed.
Shawn prides himself of keeping up with all the current cutting-edge science and he's a very good writer. The attempted comedy took away from the authority that I expected from him. Nonetheless, I still appreciate the work that he put into the book and it is a helpful nutrition resource.

Exceptionally Informative

I love the informative content in this books when it comes to true wellness and real sustainable fat loss . So much of this information is not in the awareness of people and it truly should be. Tons of science backed facts, research and tools for proven results. You can feel the passion in the book. Truly serves a mission for healthier happier people.

Exceeded expectations

All of the tips are very helpful and easy to digest. I especially loved how it was all tied together into mental health in the last part of the book. It blew me away and I love the thought that went into that section!

Revolutionary

Confirming of so much of how I already thought about food and lifestyle.
Thank you for writing this book.

Just what I needed

Great comprehensive and very people friendly advice from someone who walked the walk and became true success story. Humble, warm, loving. Very well researched and with all claims documented properly. Except ☝️, a funny story about a very healthy drink kefir and a name of Kiefer Sutherland. Ah Shawn... you are pulling our leg, aren’t you? There is no connection between the two at all, and kefir is a gut health superstar that doesn’t need a crutch like Kiefer’s name...
Overall a worthy read, helpful advice, now ready for my 30 day challenge. Thank you!
