Publisher's summary

This is NOT your typical weight loss book.

Weight loss books have historically been rife with misinformation. A conveyor belt of diet books pretending to have the latest revolutionary weight loss "hacks", trying to grab your attention with whatever weight loss diet is trending. What is the best diet for you? Is it keto, intermittent fasting, the 5:2 diet or one of the many rapid weight loss plans promising that you can all lose an astronomical amount of weight in a short space of time?

Do you know what doesn't make sense? Telling everyone to follow the same weight loss diet, period. Diets are not one size fits all. We are all different, and a diet plan that your friend is successful with might be a diet plan that doesn’t work for you. We are all individuals with different biology, preferences, and circumstances.

Here are some cold, hard facts:

• It is estimated that half of all adults are attempting to lose weight at least once per year.
• Losing fat is the most sought-after goal in the fitness industry.
• Despite the prevalence of diet attempts, global body weights have been trending upward for the last 50 years.
• Most people who start a weight loss diet only get short-term results and are not successful at keeping that weight off in the long run.
• Many of you feel confused by the huge amount of conflicting weight loss information and feel fed up with hopping from one diet to the next, constantly losing and regaining the same amount of weight.

Rather than pretending to have the universal solution for everyone, Everything Fat Loss comprehensively explains and summarizes what the research actually says about every major fat loss topic to help you formulate a plan that works for you.

No gimmicks. No overhyped marketing. No cookie-cutter diet plans. No false promises.

This is the ultimate scientific resource on fat loss, written to cut through the BS.

It is literally, everything you need to know about fat loss, compiled into one handy resource.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Incredible resource

I am a personal trainer who was looking for a resource to pass along to clients who wanted to dive deeper into fat loss and this most definitely is it. The book is informative, extensive and so enjoyable to read. I devoured it and even with a background in the fitness industry it still taught me a whole lot. Highly highly highly recommend.

Ben Carpenter is the Emily Oster of fitness and weight loss, with more cursing

I love the data support approach that Ben takes in outlining what data has supported weight loss and also when a certain approach doesn’t make a significant difference. There are so many studies that he cites that there isn't a feeling of cherry picking. What I loved the most was that by the end of the book, I didn't feel like I was pushed toward any direction in regards to weight loss, I just felt informed and empowered to make my own decisions.

The book sub title says it all!

In this book, Ben Carpenter has used his decades of experience in the fitness world breakdown the effects of nutrition and exercise & the pitfalls of dieting trends. He's not selling anything and presents the information clearly with references to legit research. This book also addresses the psychological issues associated with food that many people struggle with everyday.

Incredibly Comprehensive and Bullshit-Free

Such a rare find - Ben is incredibly informed and cites countless studies to back up his points and views, presenting the reader with all the facts to allow them to make their own individualized conclusions. Highly recommend

Compilation of the findings of the best available current research

I was not familiar with this author (many may know of him from social media), however I found his treatment of the subject matter to be pitch perfect. The amount of work that went into this book is quite impressive, while his suggestions are down-to-earth and definitely sound.

Clears the confusion of fat loss!

There are so many aspects to fat loss that are obscured by social media and marketing, this book breaks each issue down in it's own chapter. It frustrates me that it has taken me this long to learn what I should focus on and what is just influencer nonsense or unhealthy behaviour. Honestly, this has helped clarify ALL the things I was unsure about.

I'm already recommending it to people when they tell me they are trying to lose weight...

The author's approach is straightforward, easy to understand and understanding that everyone is different and we can't be grouped by one rigid solution. Because of this book I am now equipped with the knowledge of assessing where I am, what I can improve on and focussing on my reason why I want to do this...

Best health book I have read

Wow where to start? I grew up in the 90s with disordered eating, super thin super models and unrealistic unhealthy weight loss ideas.
I have followed Ben for a while on social media and decided to get his book. Lots of information, science to back it up, and realistic ideas of how to use this knowledges in your everyday life without sacrificing your mental health and happiness for a few pounds.
I found the chapters on alcohol and sugar particularly helpful since there is so much misinformation about these these topics specifically.
No more fear mongering, just great science presented in an easily accessible and at times entertaining manner.
Also, Ben was a great narrator to listen to, highly reccomend. This is the only audio book I have ever taken the time to review but I think more people should have this knowledge.

Say goodbye to the drama of the diet du jour

I loved the in-depth research studies cited throughout the book, and I appreciated the authors intention to provide education so people might make their own best decisions about what to pursue. It’s so easy to get caught up in the latest, and this book does a great job of helping to prevent that. Or cure you of it.

Probably the best fitness and health related book I’ve ever came across

Scientific, to the point with a smidge of British humour, this book has helped me gain confidence in my fitness journey and pick the weight loss tools that work best for me. Everyone must read this book for educational purposes on healthy and nutrition. It will save you a lot of money that you would otherwise spend on overhyped and useless meal plans

So relatable!

Ben does an excellent job of debunking so many diet myths. He presents the information in an entertaining and easy to understand way. I love that he is not condescending and shows respect for all kinds of real life factors that are barriers to fat loss. I feel confident moving forward and meeting my goals. My anxiety level around dieting has greatly decreased! I’m relieved to have some tools to help me get away from my previous “all or nothing” mindset. Thank you Ben!
