The main point of this book is well received: Prolonged fasting yields amazing health benefits.That being said, this book is extremely poorly organized. I think Dr. Fuhrman could've used a better editor, if in fact he had one at all. There was poor grammar, wandering topics, and the same points being repeated. I found it painful to read.As a side note, from a practical perspective I wouldn't recommend multi-day fasts as tool for losing weight. As Dr. Fuhrman notes, people often become extremely irritable. So, for someone who wishes to lose weight, an intermittent fasting regiment would work better if you still wish to remain functional at work. Use this book as a reference for getting rid of disease only.
