This is very little in this book that will be new to anyone who has done at least some research into healthy lifestyles, but Dr. Conard has, what I'll call "re-"d the fundamentals - re-packaged, re-framed, re-phrased and re-peated them. Repetition is sad to be key to retention and every concept is definitely repeated several times throughout the book.
Still, it is a good simple book to have on the shelf. I met Dr. Conard (yesterday, as of the date of this note) and found him to be passionate, candid and genuine. He speaks to what he says in this book and uses himself as an example. He doesn't advocate extremes, and only his packaging is a bit gimmicky. If the acronyms work, then all the better, right?
