It seems to be a great anchor for a lifestyle change and a brilliant starting block for a healthier me. A personal, fun and positive book encouraging dietary diversity and NOT calorie counting' Professor Tim Spector, author of The Diet Myth and Spoon-Fed'Empowering' Hello! Smith also seems to understand that many people are dieting and killing their spirit to try and fit unrealistic body images, to that I applaude him.

Biography: Actress, fitness fanatic and health biohacker extraordinaire, Davinia's career started on C4's hit Soap Hollyoaks playing party girl Jude Cunningham.I now no longer need to inject the weekly drugs I previously needed to be able to move and function due to aggressive RA, I just wish I’d started this way of life years ago!

So far I have heard how terrible the diet industry is, and that consequently it is not your fault that you are fat. If I could give you one bit of advice right now, it would be to take all the energy you’re putting into fad diets and put it into becoming the most genuinely healthy version of you.So if you want to go back and refer to the chapter on vitamins, you have to take guesses at which one this is. All this book really is, is a 6 hour long listen about how privileged his life is that he doesn't give a rat's ass what you think.

You listen and listen to so much rambling you switch off and fail to acknowledge any parts of the audio that may actually be of interest.

Personal trainer James Smith’s new book, Not a Diet Book, offers frank advice on getting in shape and busts some major diet myths. I am not sure I will be able to finish it, but will bravely struggle on, hoping beyond hope for a tiny glimmer of wisdom or inspiration before its end. But, after genetic testing, Davinia biohacked her way to optimum health, losing nearly three stone in six months, and keeping it off. Started good and I thought it was interesting but the middle part of this book should of been kept for his memoirs. If you are interested in nutrition and/or the concept of bio-hacking then this book will interest you.
