THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM is a proven and practical guide to fighting the big problem of obesity. Simplifying a bunch of biology while making decades of academic obesity research accessible to everyone, Bailor gives a complete and captivating explanation of the science of losing weight permanently.

• Theodoros Kelesidis, MD, Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, & Metabolism, Harvard Medical School & Department of Medicine, UCLA School of Medicine

 

THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM challenges the diet dogma and offers a sensible path to good health. Bailor’s insightful book is smart, health promoting, and deserves to be hot, hot, hot!

• JoAnn E. Manson, MD, DrPH, Chief, Division of Preventive Medicine, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Prof of Medicine, Harvard Medical School

 

In THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM, Bailor demolishes the dietary and nutritional nonsense that has contributed to the epidemics of obesity and diabetes in our country. In its place he erects a simple program anyone can follow that is based on solid science and common sense. THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM is likely to be the last diet book you’ll ever need to buy. Unless you enjoy failed diets, do the right thing—the healthy thing—and read this book.

• Larry Dossey MD, Oprah medical expert, New York Times best-selling author, and Former Chief of Staff of Medical City Dallas Hospital

 

THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM reveals some of the latest and best scientific research on the real story of diet, exercise, and their effects on us. Bailor’s concept of high-quality exercise is rapidly gaining support in the medical community, and has repeatedly delivered clinical results which seem almost too good to be true. I heartily recommend this book to people who want to take responsibility for their own health.

• John J. Ratey, MD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and author of Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain

 

As someone who takes fitness and health seriously and has written extensively on this topic over some 30 years, I am generally underwhelmed whenever I see a new “how to” book enter the marketplace. Most are celebrity driven, and most celebrities simply do what their personal trainers tell them to do with little regard for physiologic fact. I am pleased to say that THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM represents something different. Strikingly different in fact. Author Jonathan Bailor has that rare gift of being able to take highly technical scientific data and interpret it in a way that the average person can understand instantly. In addition, he is able to do so in a manner that makes entertaining and compelling reading while clearly indicating how (and why) the last 40 years of fitness and nutrition advice have made us fatter and more at risk for disease than at any other point in our species’ history. But most importantly, he is able to take that mountain of scientific data and divine the practical and simple direction it is pointing to in terms of advancing human health and fitness. The book you are holding in your hands can be said to represent the thinking person’s guide to exercise and diet in the 21st Century. No fads. No gimmicks. No celebrity-driven pitching of nonsense. Finally, a book that is worth reading; not only for the sheer pleasure of it, but also for its ability to dramatically and positively change your health, strength and life.

• John Little, Author of Max Contraction Training, Co-Author of Body By Science

 

Revolutionary. Thoroughly researched, rigorously simplified, and downright fun, Bailor’s work stands head-and-shoulders above the mass of fat loss myths lining bookstore shelves. In his surprising and scientifically sound exposé of the modern fat loss mythology, Bailor reveals the sources of our fat loss struggles and provides straight-forward, practical solutions. Everyone, and I mean everyone, will learn and laugh a lot while reading THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM.

• Jan Fridén, MD, PhD, distinguished professor and head of a muscle research program at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden

 

When it comes to the most important part of your life, your health, Bailor has written a book that is a must-read for knowing the truth about evaporating body fat. I am a firm believer in achieving the body you have always dreamed of, and Bailor opens the black box of fat loss and makes it simple for you to explore the facts. Read this book today in order to live your best life.

• Joel Harper, Oprah and Dr. Oz Show fitness expert, NYC celebrity personal trainer, joelharperfitness.com

 

WOW! This book will blow your mind and is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn how to be healthy the 21st century way. In THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM, Bailor exposes the dietary myths of why we as a nation are still overweight despite years of best-selling diet books. Calories, fat, exercise and hormones – it’s all in this book and finally someone got it right. The diabesity epidemic stops here.

• Fred Pescatore, MD, MPH, CCN, and author of The Hamptons Diet

 

Poignant, applicable and easy to read, Bailor’s relevant work couldn’t have come at a better time. If you’ve struggled with weight loss, this could be the magic bullet you’re looking for.

• David Barr, Exercise Science Writer for Muscle & Fitness, Editor in Chief of Strength and Science, CSCS, CISSN

 

In THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM, Bailor entertains as much as he educates. Simplifying and integrating an amazing amount of important scientific and clinical research, Bailor presents a well-conceived, well-researched and well-written book, in addition to a very sensible, practical, and successful approach to losing fat. This book will undoubtedly change the way you think and look, while keeping you smiling all along the way.

• Wayne Westcott PhD, Quincy College Fitness Research Director and author of Get Stronger, Feel Younger

 

THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM is the go-to source for all that is practical, realistic, and effective when it comes to weight loss. Bailor brilliantly brings together all the outdated myths (i.e. eat less, exercise more) and dispels them one at a time in a fun, easy to understand way. This book changes the future of permanent weight loss forever!

• Cynthia Pasquella, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist, CHLC, CWC, cynthiapasquella.com

 

Fat loss theories are everywhere; except here. THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM is the source for the fat loss facts. Bailor has taken a lot of amazingly complex medical research and turned it into a simple, clinically proven fat loss program that will change the way we think about fat loss.

• William Dunn, MD, specializing in the obesity/cancer link

 

Stimulating and provocative.

• Søren Toubro, MD, Professor at the Centre for Advanced Food Research at the University of Copenhagen

 

Strikingly beautiful and accessible.

• Reinhard Engels, author of the No S Diet, nosdiet.com

 

Brilliant. THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM is a masterful compilation of nutritional and exercise science disproving the archaic fat loss theory of “eat less, exercise more.” Bailor persuasively packages a wealth of research along with his personal and professional experience into an easily understood and applied framework that will change the way you live, look, and feel. For all those who feel left behind in the nutritional battles and exercise gimmicks of the last ten years, look no further, Bailor will end your confusion once and for all.

• William Davis, MD, Fellowship of the American College of Cardiology

 

This is not just another diet book. Bailor has assembled a wealth of scientific evidence showing how our “healthy” diet and exercise obsession are making us fat and sick. THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM is a scientifically backed, paradigm shifting, and entertaining exposé that disproves our basic ideas of eating and exercise. If you buy one health book this decade, make it THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM.

• Marion G. Volk, MHSc, Obesity researcher

 

THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM sheds light on the surprising discrepancy between the way healthy nutrition has been presented to the public and the science that underlies it. The idea that fat in the diet translates into fat on the body has dominated nutritional discussions for decades. This work challenges this central idea, and offers clues about why diabetes has been on the rise, and why so many people who are intent on losing weight have found it so difficult to do so. It is an important piece of work.

• Anthony Accurso MD, Obesity researcher at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center

 

As a World Cup and Olympic athlete I’ve read hundreds of health and fitness books; Bailor’s work stands alone. I’ve never seen such a simple and entertaining presentation of so much fat loss science. Debunking the myths sabotaging the weight loss efforts of millions, Bailor will change the way you think of fat loss and the way you look in less time than you ever thought possible.

• Maik Wiedenbach, World Cup and Olympic Athlete, CEO of Adlertraining, National Academy of Sports Medicine certified trainer

 

Through a combination of detailed research, shocking facts, and time spent in the fat-loss trenches, Bailor has passionately produced an essential guide to transforming the human body. We urgently need an unbiased solution to making our bodies look and feel better. THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM is that solution.

• Ben Greenfield, National Personal Trainer of the Year, National Strength and Conditioning Association, BenGreenfieldFitness.com, nutritionalmagnesium.org

 

From preface-to-conclusion, Bailor cleverly articulates the misinformation that has inundated American’s views on fat loss for the last 30 years. His book is not just an enjoyable read, but his ability to incorporate scientific-backed research with his no-nonsense, often humorous at times-approach makes this a book every intelligent American should read, especially those who are frustrated with yo-yo dieting and unsuccessful attempts at fat loss. THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM is at the top of my recommended reading list for each of my clients and employees.

• Lindsay Vastola, CEO Body Project Fitness and Health, Certified Fitness Trainer

 

THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM is both fun and informative. It challenges the central dogma of diet and weight control and provides a sensible alternative to the current less food, more exercise strategy. Bailor provides a compelling, simple, and practical solution to the challenge of obesity. Try it!

• Professor Steve Yeaman PhD, Deputy Director, Institute of Cellular Medicine, Newcastle University

 

Jonathan Bailor has put a lot of time into his work in this arena. He provides compelling data regarding exercise and nutrition and our collective view on these subjects. After everything you’ve already tried to get in shape, isn’t it worth giving it another shot? I think it is.

• Gunnar Peterson C.S.C.S.

 

It is obvious that Bailor has done his homework while creating this important publication that turns current thinking on weight loss on its ear. When I first saw his premise that the common theory of weight loss – Eat Less and Exercise More to lose weight – is all wrong, I couldn’t believe it. What he is telling us is that there is a smarter way to fat loss – Eat More, Exercise Less – Smarter. Now that sounded like my kind of program to lose fat and improve my health. I am just an average guy trying to keep his weight in check in my golden years. I have tried many diets out there and most left me hungry all the time and feeling deprived, and I would eventually give up. When I saw this book, it gave me hope again.

Bailor has a writing style that makes it seem he is talking directly to you – like he was your neighbor and friend. His humor gets his points across easily and his extensive research and references in the book make it easy to see how he can’t be wrong. I loved the book and highly recommend it to anyone who has tried to diet the conventional way and ended up hungry and miserable during the process, and eventually just gaining the weight back. The book provides you a path to lower your body’s weight set point and unclog your metabolism so it actually burns stored fat. It will change your view of weight loss completely.

If you are going to read one book on how to eat and exercise, read this one. THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM had an immediate and dramatic impact on my how I eat and how I feel. This book will significantly and permanently improve your life.

• The Reverend Craig Stephans, Anglican Priest and Amazon.com Top Reviewer

 

In an absorbing book that you won’t want to put down, Bailor will change the way you think about diet and exercise. Using an astonishing collection of academic research, THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM shows why so many diets fail and the scientifically proven way to change that. Extensively researched and easy to understand, THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM is a must-read for anyone ready to live a healthier life.

• Angela Streiff, Amazon.com Vine Voice Reviewer

 

The world has been waiting for THE SMARTER SCIENCE OF SLIM. It’s extraordinary how Jonathan Bailor has entrenched himself in an exhaustive amount of research and delivered the facts of fat loss and robust health for us in an engaging easy to read book. Myths are dispelled. Clarity is given. This is a must-read.
