About this listen
Food is complicated. It's a key controller of our state of health or disease. It's a social centerpiece for the most important moments of our lives. It's the building block that creates our brain, enabling us to have thought, feeling, and emotion. It's the very stuff that makes up our bodies and what we see looking back at us in the mirror. Food isn't just food. It's the thing that makes us who we are. So why does figuring out what to eat feel so overwhelming?
In Eat Smarter, nutritionist, bestselling author, and #1-ranked podcast host Shawn Stevenson breaks down the science of food with a 30-day program to help you lose weight, reboot your metabolism and hormones, and improve your brain function. Most importantly, he explains how changing what you eat can transform your life by affecting your ability to make money, sleep better, maintain relationships, and be happier. Eat Smarter will empower you and make you feel inspired about your food choices, not just because of the impact they have on your weight, but because the right foods can help make you the best version of yourself.
Great listen, and good supplementary resources.

Shawn did it again, a book full of valuable, life-changing information and advice in an easily-digestible form. After finishing Sleep Smarter, I was thrilled to dive into this treat - and I wasn't disappointed!
It's definitely not your average dieting book. It doesn't tell you to eat according to a specific plan, but gives you the building blocks to build the diet that works for YOU. The author constantly reminds that these are just general rules and you should always check in with your body to see if they work for your metabolism.
The author has nailed not only the writing of the book, but also the narration, as his voice is pleasant to listen to and he perfectly emphasizes the correct parts of the text, making the most important information stand out well.
This book gives you pretty much all the tools you need to step up your food game. I have yet to check out the 30-day plan, or execute it, but I definitely will. However, the information can be too much. I have trouble remembering everything he listed. Were blueberries recommended for fat loss or cognitive functions, what has the benefit of reishi mushrooms etc. - just have a notebook nearby and you'll be fine!
If I had to criticize the book for something, it would be the constant hard selling - like, come on, I already bought the book! Especially the very first chapter, the introduction, felt like the author is just trying to sell the book to you by all means. I feel like that was just lost time. It's like listening to an ad. This continues in small amounts throughout the book, especially at the end of each chapter, where he's touting the next chapter. Oh, and the book would probably be 30 minutes shorter without the "find more information about this at eatsmarterbook.com/bonus" and references to the accompanying PDF.
But that's only a minor nuisance, for this book is otherwise golden. The next good thing :
The book is fun!
"What?? How can a non-fiction book about eating be fun?" Well, listen and find out!
With references to movies and movie characters, clever and silly metaphors, unexpected wordplays and overall many good-taste jokes scattered across the book, Shawn has made this book an example of how even a non-fiction book can be entertaining. I was giggling every once in a while to the jokes, that didn't feel forced but fit in well and it made me engage with the book even more. Many of the movie and TV references I didn't completely understand as a non-American, but I still found most of them funny.
Overall, I loved this book and will definitely put its advice into use. Thanks Shawn!
