Jim's Review
🐛
Jim doesn't worry about his waistline (worms are all waist), but Dr. Fung's takedown of conventional diet wisdom is riveting. The insulin hypothesis is laid out clearly and backed by solid research, even if it ruffles some feathers in the nutrition world. Jim found the fasting sections particularly interesting — turns out skipping meals might be more than just laziness. Four worms.
