Publisher's Summary

This is NOT your typical weight loss book.

Weight loss books have historically been rife with misinformation. A conveyor belt of diet books pretending to have the latest revolutionary weight loss "hacks", trying to grab your attention with whatever weight loss diet is trending. What is the best diet for you? Is it keto, intermittent fasting, the 5:2 diet or one of the many rapid weight loss plans promising that you can all lose an astronomical amount of weight in a short space of time?

Do you know what doesn't make sense? Telling everyone to follow the same weight loss diet, period. Diets are not one size fits all. We are all different, and a diet plan that your friend is successful with might be a diet plan that doesn’t work for you. We are all individuals with different biology, preferences, and circumstances.

Here are some cold, hard facts:

  • It is estimated that half of all adults are attempting to lose weight at least once per year.
  • Losing fat is the most sought-after goal in the fitness industry.
  • Despite the prevalence of diet attempts, global body weights have been trending upward for the last 50 years.
  • Most people who start a weight loss diet only get short-term results and are not successful at keeping that weight off in the long run.
  • Many of you feel confused by the huge amount of conflicting weight loss information and feel fed up with hopping from one diet to the next, constantly losing and regaining the same amount of weight.

Rather than pretending to have the universal solution for everyone, Everything Fat Loss comprehensively explains and summarizes what the research actually says about every major fat loss topic to help you formulate a plan that works for you.

No gimmicks. No overhyped marketing. No cookie-cutter diet plans. No false promises.

This is the ultimate scientific resource on fat loss, written to cut through the BS.

It is literally, everything you need to know about fat loss, compiled into one handy resource.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Informative + Ethical.

"Everything Fat Loss" is a comprehensive and ethically considerate guide to diet and nutrition. Having first followed Ben on social media, I was impressed by his balanced and thoughtful approach to these topics, which led me to purchase his book. The content itself is outstanding, earning a solid 5 stars for its depth, clarity, and practical advice. Ben's dedication to debunking myths and presenting scientifically-backed information makes this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding fat loss.

However, the audio version of the book presented some challenges. While Ben's narration is clear and articulate, I found the pacing incredibly slow. At times, Ben's tendency to over-articulate certain words and sentences made the listening experience feel more suited to live presentations than an audiobook format. This issue was easily mitigated by increasing the playback speed to 1.3x, which made the narration much more fluid and easier to digest (pardon the pun).

Overall, "Everything Fat Loss" is an excellent book filled with essential information, but for the best listening experience, I recommend adjusting the playback speed. Carpenter's insights are worth the investment, and with a slight tweak to the audio settings, the experience becomes much more enjoyable.

Will be referring back to this book often!

Evidence-based, informative, and practical

In a field of self proclaimed experts, Ben's integrity shines through as he offers a practical, sustainable, and evidence-based perspective on a long list of weight loss approaches and supposed hacks. Ben is considerate and compassionate toward the very real challenges people face in losing weight, and is holistic and inclusive in his approach to health.

Brilliant, science-based health advice

I’ve followed Ben on Instagram for a long time now. When I saw he had published a book, I knew I had to read it - all of his content is always so well researched, backed up by quality evidence, and he just genuinely seems to care about his audience. His book did not disappoint. If you want, as the title states, a definitive guide to weight loss, this is your book. He does not push an agenda, and just provides you with all of the evidence so that you can make informed choices. If you read the audiobook, the bonus is his voice is so nice to listen to!

limited information

while Ben tries to cover the fat loss topic, his views on calorie in vs calorie out are very simplified. the human body is far more complex and the law of thermodynamics apply to a closed system - the human body is far more complex.
How is fat metabolised and stored and what hormones control this process?
for a more detailed look into the topic I would read - Good Calories, Bad Calories and Why We Get Sick
I believe the obesity epidemic is a syptom of our overall health crisis.
unfortunately this book does not address the causes and simply sticks with the eat less move more concept which has been failing for the last 50 years.
