Dr. Briffa's book is certainly one which should not be ignored. Not a true diet book in the sense of wanting to lose weight (as one would assume from its title), rather a look at the way our ancestors ate and comparing our diet today. It is packed with statistics, supporting Dr. Briffa's view that we should get back to basics in terms of eating and eat in accordance with our body type - be it hunter, hunter/gatherer or gatherer. Definitely worth a read.

My husband and two sons have been following Professor Briffa's Waist Disposal programme and now it's my turn to get my diet sorted out . Hopefully I will have as good results as they have had. Wish me luck!

Six years ago, I had my metabolic type tested and radically changed the way that I eat. The result was more energy, a return to my ideal weight and fewer ailments. I am passionate about the fundamental importance to health of eating well and take every opportunity to share this, including in both my books (Succeed in Sport: Train - Learn - Adapt - Improve : Sports Performance from British Archery Champion and Survival Guide For The Skint - How To Feel Richer On Your Current Income
As a coach working with people on health and weight issues, I am always on the look-out for books to recommend. John Briffa's book covers many important aspects of good nutrition and metabolic type. I find his writing style clear and straightforward; compelling in the evidence presented but not too technical to put my clients off. I now recommend it to everyone who comes to me for nutrition coaching, and I recommend it to you.
