Almost didn’t venture into this one by judging the book by its cover as I thought that this was going to lean in the direction of being some type of diet book, so the plan was to briefly skim and not review. However, this was just so interesting with regard to body metabolism and how we ‘burn’ calories that it turned into a super engaging read. There’s also quite a bit of paleoanthropology and anthropological field work to boot. The background on BMR and fitness is quite eye opening, and perhaps my favorite part is hearing a Harvard educated PhD call ‘superfoods’ scientific bullsh*t as it was music to my ears. This certainly isn’t a diet book nor is it one that’s like to catch on with those looking for the latest fad but it does make sense in terms of how our biology follow basic laws of physics and chemistry.
