Really enjoyed this book! Of great interest was the history of weight loss and dietary studies. I would agree with one of the reviewers below that we all know sugar is not good for us and that avoiding it on a regular basis is a way of life rather like smoking....So many people are eating Paleo, but a combination of eating low on the GI index & avoiding sugar but not necessarily all carbs is a realistic way to live?
