Recommends The Fast Diet
Michael didn't invent the diet, he basically took it from other scientists and made it very popular and accessible. I think he's sold a million copies of that book. And it's probably the only diet I would recommend, because it doesn't stop you eating what is good for you

Mixed on The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted
He sold millions of copies of this book, and did a lot to jump-start the vegetarian movement in the US, where it had been very, very small, unlike in the UK. So it was very influential, although when I read and critiqued it, I felt a lot of the data didn't stand up.

Mixed on The F-Plan Diet: Lose Weight Fast and Live Longer
Reading the book now, it is dated, and some of the recipes are dreadful, most of them involving All-Bran breakfast cereal or baked beans. They're also still very low in fat, using skimmed milk.

Liked Pure, White, and Deadly: How Sugar Is Killing Us and What We Can Do to Stop It
Yudkin makes a pretty good case for cutting back on sugar, if you read the book, but no one really heard him because he lost the battle with a guy called Ancel Keys

Liked Letter on Corpulence, Addressed to the Public
I like the idea, and also just the fact that over 110 years before the Atkins diet it had all already been done. There are also some great quotes in there, and plenty of social history. Because in his day, seeing someone obese was really quite unusual. Kids would point at him in the street, and laugh at the fat man going down the road, which you wouldn't really get now.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
