Clear, concise and refreshingly honest
I am a PT who was not a fan of Smith. I felt he was a loud mouthed self publicist idiot.. This book did change my perspective - he successfully cuts thru a lot of the mythos and nonsense out there and whilst I feel that there is often more to fat loss than simply calorie deficit, this book is a thorough and clear platform on which to launch your fat loss journey. more importantly he explores why fixation on fat loss is a reductive and dull goal which should be replaced by new paradigms of training that emphasize performance and personal happiness over Insta-fame and six packs. As someone who has been in the industry for 15 years, I couldn't agree more.

The Calorie Deficit Man!
I’m only 1hr 30mins into this audio book and I’ve learnt so many things that I didn’t realise had a large impact on a healthy lifestyle. Great Job James, I’m absolutely loving it!!!

This is NOT a diet book
It shouldn't be a surprise to you that this is NOT a diet book.
If you are looking for a quick fix, the next weight loss club ect... this isn't for you.
However, if you want an honest and evidence based book discussing topics surrounding a healthy lifestyle, including how to lose weight - you have found the right book.
Even if you find James' social media posts offensive or a bit bold, this is still the book for you. Don't forget James has a small window to capture attention on social media, you'll hear another side to him remenicient of his podcasts.
Invest in yourself, buy this book.

What a banger
As a fan of James since the Facebook days, I can’t help but feel so proud of him for this book! You need to hear what he has to say in this book no matter what your walk of life. James’ approach to life, coupled with his humour, is the breath of fresh air you need. Thanks James, keep her lit!

Much more than a diet book
The world was crying out for a book like this. The health industry is rife with fads and false information and James does such a good job in busting the myths through explaining the scientific fact. However this is so much more than a myth buster book. It looks at how you can change your mindset and your habits to not only be healthier but more successful and happier. Highly recommend!

Excellent book
An excellent book that cuts through the nonsense in the fitness industry. Doesn’t just cover training but also sleep, nutrition, attitude and woman’s specific issue like PCOS.
