– Daniel G. Amen, MD author of Change Your Brain, Change Your Body

“The Calorie Myth reveals some of the latest and best scientific research on the real story of diet, exercise, and their effects on us.

I heartily recommend this book to people who want to take responsibility for their own health.”
— Dr. John J. Ratey, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School; author of Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain

“The Calorie Myth sheds light on the surprising discrepancy between the way healthy nutrition has been presented to the public and the science that underlies it. The idea that fat in the diet translates into fat on the body has dominated nutritional discussions for decades. This work challenges this central idea, and offers clues about why diabetes has been on the rise, and why so many people who are intent on losing weight have found it so difficult to do so. It is an important work.”
— Dr. Anthony Accurso, Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center

“As someone who takes fitness and health seriously and has written extensively on this topic over some thirty years, I am generally underwhelmed whenever I see a new how-to book enter the marketplace. The Calorie Myth represents something different. Strikingly different in fact. Jonathan Bailor has that rare gift of being able to take highly technical scientific data and interpret it in a way that the average person can understand instantly. But most importantly, he is able to take that mountain of scientific data and divine the practical and simple direction it is pointing to in terms of advancing human health and fitness. The book you are holding in your hands can be said to represent the thinking person’s guide to exercise and diet in the twenty-first century. No fads. No gimmicks.”
— John Little, author of Max Contraction Training; coauthor of Body by Science

“Revolutionary. Thoroughly researched, rigorously simplified, and downright fun, Bailor’s work stands head-and-shoulders above the mass of fat loss myths lining bookstore shelves. In his surprising and scientifically sound exposé of the modern fat loss mythology, Bailor reveals the sources of our fat loss struggles and provides straightforward, practical solutions. Everyone, and I mean everyone, will learn and laugh a lot while reading The Calorie Myth.”
— Dr. Jan Fridén, Distinguished Professor, University of Gothenburg, Sweden

“WOW! This book will blow your mind and is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn how to be healthy the twenty-first-century way. In The Calorie Myth, Bailor exposes the dietary myths of why we as a nation are still overweight despite years of best-selling diet books. Calories, fat, exercise and hormones—it is all in this book and finally someone got it right. The diabesity epidemic stops here.”
— Dr. Fred Pescatore, author of The Hamptons Diet

— Jade Teta, ND, CSCS, author of The New ME Diet

— David Barr, CSCS, CISSN; contributor to Muscle & Fitness; editor in chief of Strength and Science

This book will undoubtedly change the way you think and look, while keeping you smiling all along the way.”

This book changes the future of lasting weight loss forever!”
— Cynthia Pasquella, CHLC, CWC; board certified clinical nutritionist

“This is not just another diet book. Bailor has assembled a wealth of scientific evidence showing how our ‘healthy’ diet and exercise obsession are making us fat and sick. The Calorie Myth is a scientifically backed, paradigm shifting, and entertaining exposé that disproves our basic ideas of eating and exercise. If you buy one health book this decade, make it The Calorie Myth.”
— Marion G. Volk, MHSc; obesity researcher

“The Calorie Myth says it all! As a former athlete and NFL referee it was—and still is—my goal to be in the best physical condition possible. It takes discipline and effort, but with the plan that author Bailor presents, obtaining and maintaining your best physical being is achievable.”
— Dr. Jim Tunney, author of It’s the Will, Not the Skill

“The Calorie Myth is both fun and informative. It challenges the central dogma of diet and weight control and provides a sensible alternative to the current less food, more exercise strategy. Bailor provides a compelling, simple, and practical solution to the challenge of obesity.”
— Dr. Steve Yeaman, Deputy Director of the Institute of Cellular Medicine, Newcastle University
