Guest guest Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Hi Dan, Just now took the time to read further posts you wrote. Would like to respond to this: " Or, you can stick to a couple key sentences. This should all been in one book while it's usually spread out in several books. Then this one book would offer simple science on it: body fat percentage weight activity level activities goals aerobic/anaerobic activities and macronutrient energy intake/expenditure " I totally agree that some books go on and on by repeating themselves over and over. However, the more I study nutrition, the more I realize the complexity of our human bodies and minds simply never ends! For instance, I could list at least 2 dozen factors to weight that you don't list above (sorry, but I don't have that much time right now!) that have nothing to do with calories in and calories out. Glad to hear you're checking into NTA. The majority of those books are recommended, not mandatory.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 There's lots of extra facts that aren't necessary to know unless you have a certain need to know other than the relevance of the topic. Such as if you're a scientist and want to know what role red blood cells play in weight loss. Just giving an example, don't know if red blood cells do in actuality factor in to weight loss or weight gain. It's not useful knowledge to you average reader. Barry Sears wastes all kinds of time in his books with pseudo facts. If you have certain health issues that factor into weight like constipation, bloating, or wheat/gluten/dairy sensitivity that should go into a healing book, not a weight loss book. Unless it's a specialized healing weightloss book. If that's the case it should be compact with all kinds of information rather than just a couple facts. For a college course it would be wise to condense information so you don't have to go through so many books.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 With my ability to shorten things to the point I probably could condense all health, food, sources, agriculture, metabolic, exercise, macronutrient, and health issues all in one book. With easy to read chapters. One thing I don't other authors don't do is leave out a lot of unnessecary words. You'll find you'll have a far quicker time running through a book while retaining far more information. I would make learning easy, effective, and quick. Get straight to the point. Use colorful charts to illustrate a point rather than trying to word it. An explanation can be as simple as one simple sentence that feels an entire chapter in other books.
