Richards that will open your understanding to the root causes and permanent cure for being overweight. I recently finished "Mastering Leptin" and was impressed beyond my wildest imaginings with the multi-faceted technical understanding that Byron has put together over the years.

In the last month of that time, my strength has increased in the deadlift from a 1-rep max of 275 lb to 345 lb, so I can vouch for the fact that that 14 lb loss is largely visceral fat.
