There were nuggets of interesting information, but the total package was contradictory and wandering. The first half explains why diets are not useful, or even harmful. The second half gives advice on how to diet, except the author calls it 'healthy eating strategies' or something like that. Eat less junk food and more veggies, eat smaller portions, etc. Not breaking news - and an awful lot like the exact advice in every diet book I've ever read.
