My husband and I read this together and found its common-sense suggestions of how to become "the leanest healthy version of yourself" easy to implement and remember. Sometimes the case study details bogged it down a bit, but I understand that as a researcher, Mann needs to explain how and why each one backed up an assertion about how and why people eat as they do.

I'd recommend this to anyone who has attempted dieting and inevitably backslid (as Mann points out, all dieters do). This goes beyond diets; it involves creating livable, life-long good eating habits.
