A Gentle Slap in the Face

Turning the Diet World Upside Down

by Michael David McGuire

What if everything that you thought you knew about diet, exercise and fat loss was suddenly turned upside down? What if someone used scientific facts based on peer-reviewed academic research to prove that almost everything being pushed by "current wisdom" is, in fact, not true? What if that same someone could show you in very simple and easy-to-understand terms that the current obesity epidemic is being force fed by corporate hype and slick ad campaigns? Well… that someone is here and his name is Jonathan Bailor, who top medical researchers are now hailing as the brightest star in the diet and exercise category.

Bailor's new book, The Smarter Science of Slim, reads like a smooth breath of fresh air… very well-written, very straightforward and very easy to read. Although the book's core concept… that we can eat more and exercise less to naturally and permanently lose fat… at first seems counter-intuitive and a bit far-fetched, Bailor meticulously backs his claim with hard acts from thousands of pages of scientific research coming from some of the top medical researchers and best-known medical research labs in the world.

Based on more than ten years of academic research and interviews with key medical professionals, Bailor shines a wonderful bright light on the myths and outright lies that has been fueled by misconception and corporate greed. Point by point and step-by-step, Bailor takes readers down their own path of discovery… where they soon realize that real and sustained fat loss is not a matter of trendy opinion, but a definite matter of scientific fact.

As one reads Bailor's book… and his supporting research documentation… it is like a gentle slap in the face as one realizes that Bailor's common sense approach is not only correct… but spot on track. With hard evidence backed by research studies with thousands of men and women around the world, Bailor lays out a simple concept that proves without doubt that the key to permanently reducing fat (and losing weight) is not based on counting calories, per se… but in understanding the difference between good calories with high food value (quality protein and fresh vegetables, as an example) and bad calories with zero food value (sugary soft drinks and processed foods). By filling our bodies with good and healthy food… no matter how much... we feel "full" and our natural set-point kicks in to keep each person at their exact perfect weight and body fat ratio. If we fill our bodies with sugary sodas, potato chips and low nutritional value processed foods, our body thinks we are starving. With that perceived starvation, our body not only holds onto existing fat, but adds extra fat for good measure… which has created the worst obesity epidemic in human history. Bailor and his new book stand a real chance of turning this situation around… and helping the people of the world shed millions of pounds of unhealthy and unattractive fat, safely, effectively and permanently. This book will most likely be a major best-seller.
