Changing ideas to change body composition

I liked the course. I will listen to it a second time, with more intent and the accompanying pdf to take notes. I have already started to make changes to my nutrition and exercises routine but I hope that with a second "read" I'll derive even more facts and strategies to better myself. I've listened at 1.20x speed and the narrator was perfectly understandable.

Stumbled over his words

It was hard to listen through all the speech errors. The actual content was good though.

very informal

loved the book even though I'm 6 years late on the lecture the information is top notch. I been studying fitness and nutrition for 11 years and every thing talked about and discussed in this book is true. I have done a lot to my body and can't wait to utilize the more in depth info I got now been basically trail and error but the knowledge gained is great because many conclusions I came to was in the book.
