★☆☆☆☆
This book promotes dangerously disordered eating
I bought the book because some friends said they found it valuable, and it was supposed to be "evidence based." This program essentially takes an ultra restrictive diet and turns it into a religion. It promotes the precise mindset that triggers eating disorders. It glorifies going hungry. It tells you that you are an addict, when in fact you're just in the throes of normal reactive bingeing, which is the natural outcome of trying to stick to such a restrictive diet. Please be aware that eating disorders are more dangerous than being even severely overweight -- they are the deadliest form of mental illness. And they are much, much easier to trigger than they are to overcome. If you want to know what actual scientific evidence has to say about weight management, read authors like Georgie Fear or Josh Hillis. They have books you can actually use, and programs that real people can follow. Real scientific evidence is available to everyone. It's not locked behind the doors of $500 "bootcamp."
