Jonathan proposes a revolutionary and educational method to lose weight by following a diet of healthy and fresh food.
He teaches how to select food according to the nutritional profile and health restrictions, An excellent gift. I faithfully went through Mr, Bailor's book. I understood the research behind his theories and plan, I can see that the basis for success lies in what you choose to eat, I appreciated the sections on addiction and cravings, What didnt work for me I do not like vegetables, The program is dependent upon the consumption of low starch vegetables, oodles of them, I find veggies unpalatable and quite often bitter, I was hoping for more recipes that might make veggies appealing, but was disappointed, I did visit the website in hope of additional recipes, but they were available at "premium" membership, Not a bad program, just not for me,
I received my copy through NetGalley and am under no obligation to the publisher This book makes a lot of sense regarding getting metabolism back in balance with good nutrition.
It's hard to argue with eating lots of nonstarchy vegetables and good protein as well as fats that are in whole foods rather than squeezed down into oils.
There is also some fruit included, but not as much as I've seen promoted for normal diet, I like his encouragement to make gradual changes rather than shooting for perfection, At first it seemed like a lot of change that I didn't want to make, but as I've considered it in stages, it seems very reasonable and I'm even looking forward to the changes.


I was not as sold on what he says about exercise, so I'm planning to work with the nutrition and stick with the weight training and aerobic work I'm currently doing.
I will keep in mind what I learned about the focus on the eccentric part of movement where the muscle is lengthening rather than what we usually focus on in the lifting of a weight.
I also plan to look more into the exercise plan he gives for later consideration,

Looking quickly over theday plan after reading the previous chapters, I decided it was too much and too fast for me.
I was grateful for the earlier suggestion of a slower, consistent implementation,

I plan to read the book again if I find some satisfaction with what I learned on the first read.
It does seem like a very sound program and different than other books I've read, The lack of a counting calories or points is appealing to me, I like the fact that I will work to do positive things rather than to not do negative things, He does emphasize that our brains do much better in that way and I agree, Some real solid health information but the actual plan is a little confusing and even though JB says he's not pushing his stuff, he kind of is.
Well researched and generally helpful information, Not a practical way to live though, way too prescriptive and too many things to keep track of it gave me a headache after a while.
Preparing green smoothies, which a large part of the book is dedicated to, will become a full time job, It was promising at first, but just not practical and sustainable for the average person the more he got into the details.
This book makes a lot of sense, It has a lot of scientific research and studies backing up the ideas in this book, The is explained in everyday language but easier and simply explains the science involved,

The second part of the book is practical ways to apply the information contained in the first part of the book.
Everything is presented in a positive and encouraging way,

It is NOT a DIET, It is a new way of eating and moving and thinking that is positive, No guilting. Costs very little. The cost of the book and food from your choice of providers, even your regular grocery store, Very practical, reproducible and sustainable,

Yes, this is another diet book but it's a refreshing kind, The big idea, is that your body wants to to maintain its weight its setpoint and when you do stuff that causes you to be less than that setpoint, it freaks out and does everything in its power to get back to that point.
We've all experienced that situation, So this book focuses on the things we do and eat and how they effect this setpoint, For example: eating lots of nonstarchy veg, lowers your setpoint, and drinking a soda raises it, He does go into the science of his reasons hormones, stress, water, etc, etc, etc,
There is aday plan that you can follow that he swears lowers your setpointpounds, Or not. And let's be honest, do we really believe in a setpoint But the stuff he wants you to do, none of it is BAD for you, so why not try

And he advocates that maybe you just work a little bit every day on making better, setpoint lowering choices.
I love that. You can go hard core if you need to, but baby steps in you want, And everything he recommends, I've been hearing other places too,
For example some baby steps:
increase your nonstarchy leafy green vegetable intake, His goal isservings a day, using smoothies to pound down a bunch of that veg, And it's hard to argue with this one, "No! I won't benefit from more vegetables!"
eatgrams of protein every meal, Been hearing a lot of news about this lately too,
drink more water aim for a gallon a day, which is a lot, but if you're hitting the protein levels, you need the water or you'll feel dehydrated
sleep morehours
do weights as your main workout lots of research about this too
do relaxing, nonstressful workouts: walking, yoga, meditation, etc.


I really like that these are steps you can do a little or a lot, And it's hard to argue with any of them, But he doesn't forbid anything, he just emphasizes that the better you eat the better you feel less cravings of stuff that doesn't make you feel good.
So I'm adding more veg and protein to my day trying to chose water even when I'm craving a soda trying more weight routines and most importantly, to love me where I'm at.
It's hard to hate yourself healthy, Oh, and he advocates NOT weighing yourself every day, or really ever, So none of this is earth shattering, but it's nice to hear it, The blurb of this book had intrigued , so I wanted to see what all the hype was about, I actuallly learned quite a bit from this book especially learning what a set point weight actually is, Who knew you could change it, This book actually is a diet I am planning on following once approved by my Dr for lupus, but it seemed it would help with my inflammation so I am going to bring it up at my next Dr appointment and hopefully I can give it a try.
I am hopeful after reading that it

may help me! Good info in here and I generally believe the authors philosophy.
However, I cant get on board with his smoothie plan, Some “food for thought” but I dont believe Ill follow the plan, The Setpoint Diet by Jonathan Bailor is a great guide to healthy eating and living, I have heard about a setpoint for your body weight before, the weight which your body wants to remain at, and I was intrigued to read this book on this topic.
I found a lot of science behind his ideas and some easy to implement ideas that make sense, I think this book is a great book for anyone struggling with their weight and looking for nutritional guidance in the midst of so many diets.
I think it is a livable plan that you can use for life, I can't wait to try some of the ideas and recipes in the book, I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations, These opinions are entirely my own, Finally an eating plan or rather a living plan that takes into account that humans need to eat and don't all have time to exercisehours a day.
. . or need to look like Photoshopped supermodels, The approach in the book really is SANE because it provides an abundance of scientific data to prove the author's points and suggests a diet that is realistic, doesn't leave you hungry and is ultimately extremely healthy and wellbalanced.
Plus, he provides suggestions for developing a healthier mindset and attitude towards eating and exercise, The Setpoint Diet by Jonathan Bailor is a wellresearched, comprehensive book that will assist you with making healthy choices,

The Setpoint Diet doesnt contain fancy gimmicks or miracle solutions but instead offers practical, comprehensive solutions on “howto” eat right and get moving effectively.
The Setpoint Diet is the playbook to reimaging yourself healthy and then reaching those goals, Bailor explains the science of the setpoint diet and its parameters in a manner that is both easy to read and understand.
This book has something for everyone whether youd like to transform your relationship with your eating habits, want to get in shape or stay in a healthy place.


I received a review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley for my honest review, Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own,

Synopsis from the Publisher/NetGalley, com
Join the,people who have achieved dramatic and longterm weight loss with The Setpoint Diet, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Calorie Myth.


Your body fights to keep you within a range of aboutpoundsalso known as your "setpoint weight, " New research reveals that you can lower your setpoint and end that battle for good by focusing on the quality of calories you eat, not the quantity.
With The Setpoint Diet, you will reprogram your body with aday plan to rev up your metabolism, eliminate inflammation, heal your hormones, repair your gut, and get your body working like that of a naturally thin personpermanently.


The Setpoint Diet is a lowercarb menu that focuses on specific antiinflammatory whole foods, including tons of produce, nutritious proteins, and therapeutic fats.
Its creator, Jonathan Bailor, founded SANESolution, a weight loss company that has reached millions of people, Proven to help you lose weight naturally and maintain it, The Setpoint Diet is your new blueprint for healthy living.
I have been on so many diets and read so many books and this is the only one that makes so much sense.
It will be all you need to get on the path to weight loss and good health, I was just curious what the philosophy was of this book, A free with a lot of it, Though, I am a believer in the wonder of grains and this book is against them, I'm also into daily exercise and this book saysdays a week is enough, I did like the idea that you shouldn't go on fad diets or work out at the gym for hours.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this copy for my honest review,
This is a good well researched book on changing your lifestyle for weight loss, Nothing I read was really new and exciting and it is not a miracle diet, It does emphasize the importance of eating healthy and staying active for weight loss, I haven't read any of the other books by the author but I think it is very important to remember he is not a physician.
He does research his theory very well and presents a lot of information to back his ideas,
Overall it has some sound information and probably will lead to some degree of weight loss but it may not be ideal for everyone.
Literally the exact same content as the Calorie Myth, Dang I wish I had the PDF so I could see all the bonus content, And reading this at.speeds is sooooooo slow. Glad I don't have the CD, I liked the summaries he gave at the end of each chapter, Now, I've read a ton of health books and many opinion and "facts" will overlap with each other, I normally pick and choose much like a buffet, which make it quite fun, actually, If you don't know this by now, there is no one diet for every single person, Humans are the most complex organisms so different diets work for different people, So all you meat haters out there, news flash, meat isn't bad for all humans, Same with you dairy and wheat haters, Oh, and candy is the best,

This guy recommends eating seafood, especially canned tuna, Doesn't seem like he thinks grains are too good, He was saying lots of good stuff that I mostly agreed with, but then he started to dis fruit not all fruit but still like it's on the same level as sugar.
Nope, you're wrong there Jonathan, He said there's no biological reason to consume fruit as long as you're eating enough starchy vegetables, If he had not said stupid stuff more below I'd have givenstars, "No doubt, no doubt in my mind, "

I was thinking the other day it can be a good thing that people put on weight easily when they eat bad foods because someone who stays skinny no matter what they eat, are still harming their body without realizing it.
It is like not being able to have a sense of touch and then you put your hand on a burning stove, you don't feel the pain but you're still causing your body damage.
So it is a good thing when your body gains weight it's warning you stop eating these bad foods and start eating healthy foods or you will cause irreversible damage in the future.
All you fat people out there, you can finally rejoice and indulge happily and greedily into your baked goodies!


But let's get to the Notes:



If you eat more calories your body burns more calories, if you eat less calories your body burns less calories.


The quality of calories vary widely and is determined on four factors: SANE Satiety how quickly calories fill you up, Aggression how likely calories are to be stored as body fat, Nutrition how many vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids, fatty acids and so forth that calories provide, Efficiency how easily calories are converted into body fat.


Most adult women have a testosterone level of ayearold boy, that's why it's harder for them to burn fat and build muscle than men.
Both men and women need a certain amount of testosterone to keep the set point level low,

Increased cortisone produces more insulin, Stress produces that to give you energy to accomplish the task, but today people are in a chronic state of stress and the glucose doesn't get burned off and instead it's stored.
Psychological stress doesn't burn off glucose,

The three primary factors that determine your setpoint are: brain inflammation, gut bacteria, and hormone levels,

The hypothalamus tells you when you are full, It depends on three factors:how much do the calories stretch your digestive organs,how much do the calories you're eating affect short term satiety hormones,how much do the calories you're eating stimulate long term satiety hormones, So how much a food stretches your organs is determined by the amount of water and fiber in it, That's whycalories of celery is more filling thecalories of gummy bears,

High satiety eating makes high will power living unnecessary,

A food's nutrition depends on water, fiber, and protein, Foods left in the pantry are low on water, Strike. Grains don't have much protein, Strike. Eating whole grain bread to get more fiber is like eating more carrot cake to get more vegetables,

After you eat protein, no energy is available in your body,

Calorie for calorie, spinach contains more protein than many cuts of beef, But seafood mollusk especially is the best source of nutrient dense protein,

Calculate serving size by using your hand,

servings of conventional veggies is better thanservings of organic,

If you never ate carbs, your body would make the glucose from other sources, like protein, I think that where the keto diet comes from,

If a veggie can't be eaten raw, it's not SANE,

If a food has more grams of carbs than grams of protein then it is not nutrient dense protein.
If you divide protein byand it's less than the grams of fat then it's not nutrient dense protein,

I like how he says to not worry about the minor mercury issue in seafood compared to all the other bad foods we eat.
But then again he used that same logic with no eating lesser poor foods compared to worse foods,

Eating protein causes cancer the way watering your garden causes weeds, You wouldn't stop watering your garden to prevent weeds,

One egg contains everything needed to create a life, No other food can say that,

He says to drinkcups of green tea a day No,

He says to drink cold water, The Chinese would disagree with that,

Today's children have a lower life expectancy than their parents, Ehhhhhh.

Jogging injures half the people that do it, That's because they're idiots. And this idiot author is going to dis traditional exercise

Every mile you run istimes,

I'm glad that he didn't quote dumb Brene Brown when he talked about shame,

Nonaddicts use their habits to feel good, addicts use their habits not to feel bad,

Eating things in moderation pours gasoline on the flames of addiction,

Eating less requires more willpower over time but eating more healthier foods requires less willpower overtime,

Usually we use our willpower to say no thus giving us less will power but we should be using our willpower to say yes and thus using less will power.
