Most of the book is Mr. Trudeau on a rant, which he is free to do.Since I'm not one of those who has remained ignorant of the poisonous processes to which the average grocery store food item is subjected, I gave all that a miss.The weight-loss procedure he finally gets around to recommending may very well work, IF you've got the extensive time AND money to spend on the 15 massages and the endless colonics (also not cheap!) and purifications of seemingly every major organ in your body. I'm afraid real and permanent weight loss will only come to you the old-fashioned way: eat less and do more.
