Get Strong. Get Lean. No Bullshit. - Eat Bacon - Don't Jog

This was an amazing read! The author is light and funny making the big concepts easy to understand. The chapters are also broken up into one to three pages making it easy to stay focused on a specific subject.

I liked the layout, the quick easy but informative chapters. I wish there were a little more substance though. It was a good read though, especially if you are simply trying to figure out the ketogenic way.

I like the approach. Sometimes we just need some hard truths and that is what this book will give you. The biology is explained but he also uses the word fat...

One thing I would have liked is a bulleted list of what is considered low enough carb and what is not. Overall very good though.

Concise, factual. Author covers all the bases in very short "chapters" of one, two, or three pages, hits all the important points, no long scientific discussions. This book is for those who want to know how, not so much why (which they can get in lots of other books). Contains some good recipes. Contains exercise advice that is not conventional but I think is credible and useful (it doesn't take hours in the gym to get fit and stay fit, can be done in minutes a day if done right, and the author's explanation of what's right seems like common sense.) The chapter titled Outgrow This Book gives a list of other relevant books. Author provides a list of good blogs. There also are table of contents and index.

This was an easy to read book, but more importantly easy to understand. He puts things in perspective and explains the 'why' of eating the way he suggests and how it impacts our bodies and overall health.

Another welcome book about the natural good foods God gave us. Beef, bacon and eggs. The flaw in this book and others like it is they pretend to tell us what early man ate millions and millions of years ago. There is no recorded history earlier then when? 6,000 years ago? Trying to tell us what evolutionary man ate, which they don't know, to build a case for what they do know, modern science, is building your castle on shifting sands. Enjoy the book, passover the chapters on speculative early man and you will profit.

I was disappointed in this book. From the rave reviews, I just expected a little more information than what I already knew. I'm glad I bought a used copy; I won't feel bad giving it back to Goodwill.

A cut to the chase, pithy and funny explanation of how hi fat lo carb actually works. He writes one or two page explanations of important facts, very conversational tone, so it's not scientific overwhelm or jargony. But is clearly based in what appears to be non-universal nutritional science. Yikes. Includes a few recipes, advice on what hi intensity interval workouts do for you (the Don't Jog portion) as well as weird helpful facts about things like how much your spit begins breaking down carbs. Lots of fact checking references in the back. I can say it's working for me, and if you can count your carbs AND your protein grams, and snack on fat, it works. You eat less. It turns the food pyramid upside down so it's a paradigm buster. Worth every penny.

Grant Peterson has a great way of integrating knowledge into easily understood and remembered units. I first saw this with his work with bicycles (first with Rivendell Bicycles and Just Ride) and now this. Read, understand, do.

My brother recommended this book to me after his wife read it. This book is written in 'chunks,' not chapters, which makes the information 'easy to digest,' and a quick read. EBDJ gives information in a simple, concise and satirically-infused manner which makes it enjoyable to read. Based on the information in the book, I decided to change how I ate (in accordance with the books recommendations) and in 10 weeks have lost 20 lbs (and still going)! The BEST part is, I don't CRAVE foods, no longer have daily headaches, mood swings or the energy 'high and lows' I used to have. I have also recommended this book to others who have all reported similar/same experiences. If you are ready, REALLY ready to loss weight and no longer be a slave to food, but ENJOY food and LIFE, then get this book. My only negative, the author makes his point extremely well without having to delve into evolution. Interjecting such a controversial issue into a fitness book seems more like a personal shove of beliefs, than fact. The book is glorious without that bit.

Love the book, quick read, straight to the point. Simple to follow.
Lost a few pounds already while eating bacon and eggs every morning, and no exercise (currently injured)-which I would have deemed impossible before reading this book. Counter intuitive for sure!
Author opens a Pandora box with some very interesting and useful chapters but with heightened curiosity about quantifying things comes a need for the missing info, for example on what to expect, ketones and glucose levels to shoot for, and how often and when to test, calories and macros calculations to make sure we don't overdo it.
This info can be found online in numerous blogs but I would have liked to just have this book to refer to.
Great introduction to keto the easy way, plus the author gives you links to outgrow the book. Useful.
