I have been telling everyone about it, but I originally learned about it here a few weeks ago like you. I have to say it is educational. I've learned some new statistical stuff, a few engineering principals ( I think I will end up giving it a second reading ) and even some more excel.
I love the authors sense of humor and no-bs attitude.
I've used calorie counting before with good results.
I wish I would have heard about this book last year. I was calorie counting and only weighing myself a few times a month to avoid scale psychosis. One day I after having what I thought was a good month I stepped on a scale in the locker room at my gym and saw that I actually put on a few pounds.
I got demotivated enough to stop calorie counting and a year later I find myself having gained a few pounds back. If I had stepped on that scale few days later I would have noticed that I got a different reading ......in other words the scale needed some work.
It still does. Last week I had a miraculous 20 lb weight loss, then two days later I gained back, and then this weekend I was back down 20.
If I had read his book I would have tried a few other scale and I wouldn't have been so put out by one off reading.
