My Views
Vijay Thakkar a renowned fitness icon, medical expert, young entrepreneur, and health & wellness expert presents a much-needed book of all time. For a not-so-fitness enthusiast like me, this book pumped too much motivation and made me rethink health and wellness. I am sure this book will serve every reader with enough information and clarify dubiousness about a healthy body and rejuvenating soul.
This book is furnished in two divisions. The very first piece talks about the factual information about “Why we get Fat”, where the author dispenses medical guidance and research study with pictorial representations and factual data.
My favorite chapter in the entire book is “Eat Well, Not Less“. In this chapter, the author shared a thorough analysis of food elements like carbs, proteins, fats, and calories with an additional FRFP, a handy nutrition protocol with vast experience in fat elimination and weight reduction. The crux of this book is how we effectively manage and maintain ample elements like body balance, food intake composure, diet elements, and tackling diet-borne diseases to lead a healthy and appease life. This book concludes with morning feed recipes, workout routines, and sleep time tuning.
Closing Lines
To conclude, this book is a deck of wisdom for every individual who wishes to practice a healthier life, for those who seek clarifications on the age-old false perceptions, and for those on the indefinite path of effective weight loss plus deficit-free diet and hormonal balance.
Accolades
I do remember none of the books I read in recent times had an in-detail analysis of two evils of human health. It’s a commendable effort by Vijay to burst many myths we have about our day-to-day intake of food and its limitations when it comes to those suffering from diabetes and obesity.

I think that this book comes as a breath of fresh air, in these times when everyone is talking about eating less, and one diet or the other. It is indeed so important to eat healthy as opposed to eating less. Sandy N Vyjay
Oh I have read this book and I loved it I even went to the book signing and met Vijay he is such a inspiration
I agree that eating less makes one fat. Eating too much of the wrong foods can make one gain weight faster. In contrast, eating nutrient-rich foods in smaller amounts can help one stay in shape and live a healthier life. Additionally, exercising regularly plays an important role in controlling body weight by burning calories and boosting metabolism. Thus, it is important to maintain a healthy diet as well as exercise regularly in order to avoid gain weight
