I have read the book and here are some of its best extracts in my own words.

The Top 8 Important Tips Extracted From The Book:

  1. Don’t eat anything that your great-grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food. Great grandmother, not even grandmother. So, assuming my great grandmother is still around, she should be 110 years old now, which is the year of 1898.

After joining an expensive gym, most people’s motivation to workout wanes after two months. Too busy with work, having sore muscles, taking a break or can’t get out from the bed is some of the common excuse we heard many times.

I have the same challenge too. But, every time I am in this situation, I look at some great photos or workout videos. (more…)
