I wouldn't recommend this book. He lumps low carb in with vegan / ornish / south beach / etc. diets. He pretty much says if you're obese, this book will not help you lose most of your weight - and keeps pointing to metabolically healthy obese over and over again. He makes no mention of fasting, time-restricted eating, skipping a meal. His answer? Eat real food. Don't count carbs. Eat real food. Oh and stock up on that fiber.

edit to add: His science is great - that's why I read it to the end. But while his description of processes are spot on, his knowledge of what low carb really is is limited without access to sites such as this that show how these diets are really followed - how they morph with fasting and TRE and removing seed oils and allowing dairy or eliminating dairy and how n=1 comes into play in successes and back to the drawing board failures.
