Some good, some bad For starters, I'm in pretty good shape, but I'm always having problems shaking my paunch. So I thought, for the new year, to get this and be more serious. I think the concepts here are pretty sound, although my knowledge admittedly is not great. What I don't like is the diet. It assumes that we all eat junk food and, hence, it creates a balanced diet of things that appear junky but aren't so junky. Sorry, man, but I don't need bacon. I don't need saltines for an ingredient for meatballs. I just want to eat good and eat well. Another gripe is the amount of food. Sometimes I feel like I'm eating too much. My calorie intake sometimes seems like it's too much for me to shake off when I exercise. Lastly, some of the stuff he suggests, like roast beef, are loaded with preservatives, salt, and caramel color. This is a contradition on some of the things he was talking about in the book. It leaves me confused. On another note, it was written in the expedient "feel good" manner that a lot of these mags (Men's Health, Businessweek, etc.) are written. I find that somewhat annoying. Overall, I'd recommend the book if someone asked.
