Autophagy: A Beginner's Guide to Intermittent Fasting and Metabolic Reset. Activate the Body's Self-Cleansing Process to Reduce Inflammation and Boost Longevity

Based on other readers' great reviews, I purchased this book. After reading it, I can't understand those reviews. In fact, I reread them and find that many are written suspiciously in a writing style very similar to the author's writing style -- that is, extremely poor (but unique) sentence structure and writing form interspersed with typos. It makes me wonder if a bunch of the author's friends purchased the book and wrote reviews.The extremely poor sentence structure and typos on nearly every page make this book very tedious to read and a lot of work to follow. In fact, the first typo is the very first word in the very first sentence of the very first chapter (with many more to follow), where the author refers to autophagy as "autography."In addition, there is not one citation in the whole book. The author makes many claims and notes numerous studies generically (i.e., "a recent study found...") in the body of the text, without providing citations to inform the reader on sources of the claims or specifics of the studies.Also, I purchased this book because it claimed to be a beginner's guide to the subject, but the author discusses biochemical and biological processes without explaining or simplifying them and uses very technical terms that no one without advanced knowledge of biochemistry and biology would understand.Finally, there is no biography on the author -- no information on who she is or what her background is.As a researcher, writer, and editor, it irritates me to see a book like this offered for sale. I do not believe this book would ever have been published if it was not self-published (which I assume because there is no information on a publisher in the book). To me, it is akin to a very rough first draft, and if I were to edit it, every page would be red-lined from top to bottom.There are many well-written books on autophagy. I will be returning this book and ordering something else.

Love this book. This book was beneficial in seeing how fasting honestly functions. It has helped me know the technique well and furthermore helped me see how to lose the weight slowly. I enjoyed studying it and the message resonated with me. The book is well-written and has a exact explanation and recipes. I suggest it.

The Content of the book is very good.This book is simply easy and informative.I really enjoy this book very much.Very useful information.I highly recommended this book.
