review 1: My score of one star is only valid if the star system is exponential such that one star is 1/10,000th the quality of a five star book. Even then, I think this book doesn't deserve one star, but goodreads does not offer negative start ratings. Firstly, to call this book the "science" of anything is an insult to scientists, publishers and readers alike. This book is so far from science that it would make people who think the bible is credible shake their heads at its ridiculousness. How anyone rated this book as four stars is beyond me. Even if you believe in astrology, homeopathy and imaginary friends, surely you could still tell that this book is a pile of horseshit? Alas no. To be fair, I did not read the last 2 chapters. But I did endure the first part and the majority o... moref the book. How come? The truth is that I listened to the audiobook and put it on to play when I started a long hot bath at the end of a long week. At first I was determined not to spoil my treat, but after a while I developed a masochistic determination to finish this drivel, in the hopes that there might be at least one half-profound statement in the entire book. No, at least not in the first few hours. I do admire anyone who manages to write a book and get it published, so all credit for doing that. But I also think that publishers should at least read what they publish and have some standards when it comes to labeling the incoherent babbling of a person who's clearly hearing voices in his head, as science. I guess we started this with some science books, referring to themselves as "the bible of ...", as in the social media bible (although, in fairness that's hardly science either, but at least it's closer). So, in retaliation, it appears as if the lunatic fringe have now taken to labeling their notes from a crack weekend as science.
review 2: Some very dated thinking. Do not eat a breakfast until you have 'earned it' by working. Never eat unless you are hungry and that is due to the work you have done. Only eat until you begin to feel unhungry. Only eat the things you want to eat passing over things that may be good for you but you do not like. Only eat the thing that are from your local. Obviously this was before shipping and freezing were really available. less
