Excellent book, very extensive and detailed. A better book for laymen would be his "leaner" version of this called "Why We Get Fat, And What To Do About It". For those who complain about its detail and extensiveness and lack of specific solutions and recommendations, then the author's "Why We Get Fat" is for you (AND should be read as a companion to this book in any case). I can only imagine that Nay Sayers are firmly entrenched in the Low Fat and Saturated-Fat-Is-Evil dogma that we were lied to about for many decades (at least five... during which hydrogenated and partially plant oils were HEALTH foods supposedly - the same fats that are now known as Trans Fatty Acids and according to the FDA - now - are deadly and they recommend ZERO GRAMS daily consumption). The Low Carb High Fat Diet (LCHF) lifestyle is NOT just for overweight people, but for almost everyone. It is much healthier, is a step deeply into the diet that we evolved to eat, and can just as readily be used for those desiring to gain lean muscle mass.
