Fine with a lot of good info about IF. A bit obsessive about weight loss, I didn't know the topic would take so much space in the book. Very self help enthusiastic and friendly tone of writing, can be a bit too much.

The section about types of foods, particularly ultra-processed foods, was a bit surprising to me because it described my own experience to the letter. Sometimes I really crave Taco Bell or some or other junk food, but it never satisfies me. I've literally eaten enough to make myself feel sick and still didn't feel full and kept searching for food. This is the big reason I try to avoid fast food now. I can eat $20 worth of food and still feel hungry... and a bit sick.
