About this listen
There's a lot you probably don't know about the Buddha. For one, the real Buddha was thin. And before he became the "Enlightened One", he was a pampered prince named Siddhartha. He tried starving himself in his quest for inner peace, but found that extremes brought him no closer to enlightenment. Instead, he sought a "middle way" between unhealthy overindulgence and unrealistic abstinence. The instructions he gave his monks about eating, more than 2,500 years ago, were surprisingly simple.
Fast forward to today. Cutting-edge scientific research tells us something Buddha knew all along: it's not what you eat, but when you eat that's most important. You don't need to follow the latest fads or give up your favorite foods. You just need to remember a few guidelines that Buddha provided - guidelines that, believe it or not, will help you lose weight, feel better, and stop obsessing about food. Sure, Buddha lived before the age of cronuts, but his wisdom and teachings endure, providing us with a sane, mindful approach to eating.
With chapters that ponder questions like "What would Buddha drink?" and "Did Buddha do Crossfit?", Buddha's Diet offers both an attainable and sustainable strategy for achieving weight-loss nirvana.

There are a lot of statistics quoted, so if that's not your thing I don't think you will enjoy this book!
I'm relatively new to Buddhism and though you don't need to be Buddhist or "religious" to follow this way of eating, I found the references to Buddha's teaching very interesting.
Not just another faddy diet book!

Unfortunately, the authors have tried to give a Buddhist slant on dieting, possibly as a gimmick to sell the book. The simplistic explanations of the Dharma and claims about the Buddhist lifestyle, show a careless interpretation of Dharma and culture. For example, they claim HH the Dalai Lama eats meat, so it’s normal for Buddhists to eat meat. This is misleading. HH eats meat under certain circumstances and also for medical reasons. They also claim that the Buddha would probably be ok with using animals for experiments.
If you are interested in Buddhism this is not the book for you. If you are interested in TRE or intermittent fasting, this book is not for you. In fact I can’t think of anyone that would benefit from reading this book.
Really not worth reading.
