I read it and followed a lot of the advice. The diet in particular. Had a 20-25 pound shift in weight. Went off the diet eventually about a year and a half ago (maybe?), but kept a few of the principles I guess. Still haven't gained the weight back. Maybe half of it which I'm currently in the process of losing. Losing that weight was one of the easiest things I've ever done. Very confused when people can't stick to diets.
The book is about getting the best results with the least amount of effort. So while posts like the one above are all well and good, they kinda miss the point. I don't want to do 30 mins of cardio 6 days a week. You are more likely to lose motivation and eventually fail. I don't want to do 100 traditional crunches when 10 myotatic crunches do the same thing (numbers being pulled out of my butt).
The dude definitely comes off as a bit of a snake-oil salesman sometimes, but I wouldn't let that disuade you from reading it. The review above mostly takes issue with the author. Yeah, he's a bit of a ######, but what I read worked for me. His other book, 4-Hour Workweek changed my life more than this one.
