Gut Reactions: The Science of Weight Gain and Loss by Simon Quellen Field

2.0

This book is freely available if you have an Audible subscription which is why I gave it a listen.

I'm intrigued by the complex interplay between hormones in our bodies so I found those chapters somewhat interesting but also very technical. Some of the advice in the book was familiar to me, such as the information regarding fasting, but the author seems to adopt a very extreme approach. The author also frequently uses the word 'fat' to describe people in the book, which I dislike.

The narrator also gives an entirely monotone delivery, which doesn't enhance the very technical scientific descriptions or marry well with the somewhat extreme advice, so I found the book decidely odd overall!
