Rating: 4 / 5
The title of this book should be, “Weight Loss Gimmicks That Could Be Miracles If You Had Unlimeted Time And Money”. Ms. Greenwood-Robinson presents these products as the answers to everyone’s problems: just pop a pill and you’re on your way to a healthy body. But she only briefly addresses the fact that in most of the research she cites, the subjects took doses that are probably just not feasible. For example, in her chapter on pyruvate, she mentions that the subjects in the research studies took doses in the range of 8-36 grams. Most pyruvate supplements come in doses of 500-750 MILLIGRAMS per tablet! So to supplement your diet with this stuff would cost you a LOT of money. Some of the supplements in this book would indeed be good additions to a healthy lifestyle, but if you’re looking for an easy way out, this isn’t it. Unfortunately, there’s still no substitute for good old-fashioned exercise and a balanced diet.
