There are also metaphors and analogies used which I personally found very useful (perhaps it has to do with the fact that I am a very visual person). For example, Dr Lyons suggests that you should “Think of your food as coal being added to a furnace. If you add too much coal, the fire gets too hot and then burns out. If there’s always way too much coal, the bottom of the pile will become powdered and useless, similar to low-quality yellow fat.”
One thing is certain: buffet-restaurant owners are NOT going to like Dr. Lyons.
Another great thing about Dr. Lyons is his clear stance about how he doesn’t approve of the stick thin models that grace (and I use that word loosely here) runways around the world. His ideal woman’s body: Michelle Obama, whom he says is firm and curvy, healthy and feminine at the same time.
The sections that cover the aging process might make you have an anxiety attack of sorts, especially since we live in a day and age where everything related to aging is unfortunately considered as being really bad. Which it isn’t. And on a practical note which those of you who have been reading my reviews for awhile know how important it is to me, there is more than enough space in the margins to take notes and affix Post-Its, which, as those of you who regularly read my reviews know, is very important to me in books like The Brown Fat Revolution.
Women and men who are interested in developing their own healthy living should read scores of books, including The Brown Fat Revolution. While not all of the advice will suit them, and while not all individuals will be able to integrate this rather complicated routine in their lives, were they to use their judgment and put together the various pieces of the puzzle, this book will definitely be part of the solution to leading a long and healthy life.
