[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 281131, member: 6479"] I'm just giving the other opinion here, Devil's Advocate, a bit. I guess, to me, it doesn't matter what he "says". He's hawking a book that is giving the exact same basic advice as every other book out there, and repackaging it as something to buy from him alone, because it's somehow "different". I'm pretty sure we're all well aware we need to exercise more (every TV show on the planet, every magazine, every gov't PSA program tells us so). We all know we need to eat better, from exactly the same sources. You'd literally have to be living under a rock to not already know the "magic advice" he's charging $17 for on Amazon. :) That's why I find it a bit distasteful. The other part that I find a bit off-putting is the "Stone Age" part - as I said, the world was dangerous and lacked medical care during that time period. Only the mentally and physically strongest survived into adulthood, anyway. So to base nutritional/psychological decisions on the distant past, and on modern hunter-gatherer societies with MASSIVE infant and childhood death rates - I dunno, seems a little silly. It sounds good on paper, but it's not really relevant, I don't think. Comparing apples to Komodo Dragons, yeah? Just thinking rationally about his claims - not saying they're wrong, just they they could bear some real thinking about. [/QUOTE]
