Not a Diet Book: Take Control. Gain Confidence. Change Your Life.

A brilliant book - went through it in a day and loved every second. A great mix of personal writing and thought provoking scientific chapters from James Smith. Highly recommend

Very interesting book

This is the book that had all the information I was looking for, I’ve read it 15 times already, after reading like 10 books about fat loss, I’ve realized this is the book with the most important pieces of information. It also helped me stop my binge eating, and put me in to a slow deficit, the last pounds are harder, but at least I’m in control now.

Been following Jimbo for a while on instagram and wasn't sure if there would be anything new to learn in this book but I can honestly say I don't regret buying it at all. I'm not even looking to loose weight but there was still so much to learn and take from this book that I will be implementing into my daily life. 10/10 would recommend

I sat down at 08:30 after putting my kids to bed and decided that I would read the introduction to this book before putting Netflix on and relaxing with the wife. Just the introduction. Little did I know just how much the introduction would described every one of my habits throughout my life. It made me stop a glance at my section on our bookcase full of Christmas presents that I specifically requested people to buy for me, as I was adamant I would read them. I’ve read non of them from start to finish except one book, the Steve Job Biography as I’m a fan boy. After the introduction, I felt a sense of guilt putting the book down (for those who have read it, you understand why!) so decided to give it the next chapter and THEN I’d spend time with the wife and Netflix. I finally put the book down at 11:43, having blitzed my way through half the book. It is EVERYTHING I needed as a teenager growing up, and it is everything I need now as a father to two children in order to give them even a slither of a chance of growing up without body anxieties and eating disorders. I cannot stress enough how good this book is at breaking down the sheer magnitude of misinformation and deception within the health and fitness industry. It’s not a “one time read” kind of book. It’s a collection of excellent information, all researched, to consistently come back to when you need a question answered or loose your way. Well done James Smith. It is exemplary in every way and I wish you all the success in your goal to right the wrongs of the fitness industry you love so much.

This was such a smooth read. Easy to understand and so informing. I’ve worked with a few personal trainers and have a decent amount of experience in the health/fitness world. This book gave me quite a few NEW, useful tools that allow me to implement a few small adjustments to my diet and lifestyle. I definitely feel like I have more control over dieting especially, and a better overall understanding and relationship with food.

I love James and his no nonsense ways of saying things. Very easy to read
