Good Calories, Bad Calories

Story
For decades we have been taught that fat is bad for us, carbohydrates better, and that the key to a healthy weight is eating less and exercising more. Yet despite this advice, we have seen unprecedented epidemics of obesity and diabetes. Taubes argues that the problem lies in refined carbohydrates, like white flour, easily digested starches, and sugars, and that the key to good health is the kind of calories we take in, not the number.

Story
Most diet books teach you to set short-term weight loss goals. Whether low-carb or low-fat, the typical plan goes like this: restrict your food choices, exercise until exhaustion, and swallow stacks of supplements. These “solutions” do a better job of lightening your wallet than lightening you. Meanwhile, the healthcare industry fails to prevent chronic disease. Rather than showing people how to remain healthy and prevent illness through proper nutrition, the system offers drugs and surgery to manage symptoms.

Fantastic
A great story with the right balance of fitness information, research and personal story.
Even better was having Vinnie narrate it because it felt like you really did have your own personal trainer.

More of an autobiography ..
This book was more of an autobiography rather than a fitness instruction manual. Having said that the author(s) have done a fair amount of work to motivate individuals who are new to fitness.

A life Changing Book
Incredible! This book changed my life! I lost several pounds and gained so much of confidence and muscle. Vinnie's work is world renowned and this book is a bible of his mantra, NSNG which is a great and intelligent way of living.
I buy this book quite often as a gift for my loved ones who are just struggling with the confusing messages of the health industry. I just love it!

All of them!

Great health advice, even better story
This book was great, it's much more than just a fitness book. It gave some easy to follow health and fitness tips, but the best part was Vinnie's story. The audio book was great, you got great value for money. I found myself laughing a lot. Would recommend it to anyone.

The first 10 mins was full of listening to Vinnie boast about how he massages his female client's breasts. Wasn't entertaining, funny or educational. Save your $$

It's a biography, not a fitness book
If you want to learn how to motivate yourself to be fitter, forgedaboutit.
Seems like a nice guy but the core audience seems to be very fat people who want to hear about how you get asked to massage newly fake boobs (tip: become a trainer to bored housewives).
