Good book and good price

I picked this book up while the Kindle version was on sale for 99 cents. My dollar was well-spent. Ms. Deering begins her book by telling her story of how under eating and over exercising, along with partying a little to hardily, damaged her health. Next she defines good health. In short, good health is having a high metabolism, which ensures that every process in our bodies is functioning optimally. Hint: thyroid function plays a huge role metabolism. So how do you go about raising your metabolism? As you might expect, what you eat is important. The bulk of the book explains which foods to eat for good metabolic health. There might be some surprises on the recommended and not recommended foods lists, depending on your nutritional education up to this point. Saturated fat, sugar, including fruit, and protein, especially milk and gelatin (via broth and collagen powder), get a thumbs up. Polyunsaturated fats, grains, legumes, and nuts get a thumbs down. Ms. Deering also warns of the dangers of too many leafy greens, especially uncooked, and over-reliance on muscle meats. Of course there's more to health than food. The remainder of the book addresses supplements (thankfully real food is recommended over expensive supplements), balancing blood sugar, exercise, sleep, water consumption (you might find more surprises in this section) and happiness. A nice FAQ section clarifies some points raised in the text, and we get a sample weekly menu plan, recipes, and best foods lists. Prior to reading this book I was familiar with the concept of better health through a higher metabolism. I was also aware of the dangers of polyunsaturated fats, the benefits of saturated fats, and the ins and outs of meat, broth, gelatin, milk, grains, legumes, nuts, vegetables, and fruits. However I hadn't before read a presentation put together as well as this one is. The material is organized in a such a way that one topic flows nicely to the next. You're not left wondering what the heck you should eat. I also had never before considered the suggestions for meal building given in the book. Being a reader of health books, many of them of the paleo persuasion, I'd picked up the idea that fruit should not be a main carbohydrate source and milk is an inadequate protein source. I'd also picked up the idea that a meal wasn't complete without a chunk of meat or eggs on my plate and that I should eat as many vegetables as I can choke down, especially leafy greens (I'm not a big vegetable lover). Happily, after reading Ms. Deering's book, I now have some new ideas for how to build meals that I enjoy and that will be good for me. I also have some ideas for including "snacks" in my meal plan to keep my book sugar stable. I rarely take notes when I read a book, but I took notes throughout this one. Overall, this is an excellent book that I highly recommend everyone read. There are some mistakes - typos, grammatical errors, and spelling mistakes - that a good editor could easily fix. I'd love to see a second edition with the mistakes corrected - I'd buy a second, paper back copy for myself in a heartbeat. Despite the errors, I give the book five stars. I may have only paid 99 cents for this book, but it's well worth the full price.

After one year of reading for first time this book I must say that my life has changed. Indeed, I gained weight but finally I see how everything makes sense. My body feels much better, the cold hands disappeared, my body temperature is warmer and most of the cravings disappeared. I am loosing weight slowly and my body starts to look very nice again, just that now I know that it is healthy, nice and actually healthy!

Loved it! Highly educational but not shoving opinions down your throat. Super straight forward information about how your body works and what it needs in order to be supported and function optimally

Muy recomendable para ver como funciona el ideario de Ray Peat. Por otro lado creo que esta dieta es para constituciones pitta.
