I’m just worried it’s outdated, since it was written 9 years ago. And Jimmy Moore helped with it, and he’s… um, a famous weight loss failure to be honest.

Cheers for opinions.
I’m reading it now and I’m actually finding it fascinating. A lot of the things he says actually make sense. For example processed foods - if it has a nutrition label, you probably don’t need to eat it. Just because he failed doesn’t mean you won’t walk away learning something from his books or from his failures.
I just started listening to The Oldest Cure in the World: Adventures in the Art and Science of Fasting. A lot of it is about the history of fasting, so I’m waiting to get into more of the science and practice. The author is a journalist that’s been doing TRE for some years and is trying to lay out a book based on science, somewhat in the model of James Nestor’s Breath. His website has a decent FAQ, and I heard him on a podcast and he sounded very reasonable, so I’m wading through the initial parts about the history, but will try to let people know more after I finish.
The other book I bought was Sachin Panda’s The Circadian Code, since I’ve heard him and other scientists discuss studies that suggest that timing your eating window in the earlier part of the day has shown more benefits than in the evening.
I’m reading this book right now. Pretty good, actually, and a great follow-up to The Obesity Code. I know very little about Jimmy Moore. What is his back story? Why do you consider him a weight loss failure?
