Book Review: The Obesity Fix

The Obesity Fix: How to Beat Food Cravings, Lose Weight and Gain Energy by James DiNicolantonio
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This book is not for the average reader looking to gear up for the New Year with a prescriptive plan to lose weight. It may come across as too scientific and complex for most. There are seven chapters covering the cause of obesity, calorie conundrum, hormonal mechanisms, sugar, enrichment, fat, and structuring a diet for sustainable weight loss. I agree with many other reviewers who have recommended that you follow Dr. DiNicolantonio on Instagram. He regularly posts succinct, helpful information on nutrition.
