John Barban’s new book “The Anything Goes Diet” is finally finished, and..it’s AWESOME.
I’m really impressed with how well this book turned out.
It’s practical, and doable without being overly sciencey or complicated.
In short, it’s the perfect compliment to Eat Stop Eat.

Brad,
I posted about this in the Nutrition forum over at TT (when are *you* gonna set up a forum, by the way?
), but I assume you don’t eagerly rush over there on a daily basis to see if I’ve asked any questions! 
I’m curious about how I, personally, would benefit from this book. I’ve been following ESE and using IF for a year, eat a ton of vegetables, have a good handle on my nutrition… is this complementary system beneficial for someone like me? Or is it more recommended for someone who’s relatively new or a novice about nutrition?
I’m interested in Barban’s work, but I don’t want to spend money to have my practices reinforced! Thanks for your honesty and your willingness to spread the word about programs!

I’ve purchased it and really love it
It’s like an extended version of the Venus Index Nutrition guide. It explains everything you need to know about a simple solution to obsessive-compulsive dieting. I recommend it to everyone.

Okay, I just bought the book at your suggestion. According to the book, I would need to hit about 740 calories per day across the week to lose one pound. If I wanted to lose more, I would need to engage in some additional exercise probably slow cardio to snag the rest of the deficit for the week. Could it be that his RMR figures are off for women? I feel like what he is advocating in the numbers side of things doesn’t really match up with the kind of eat anything vibe of the writing. At that range, I would be committing myself to chicken/vegetable/yogurt for the entire day.
Or is just that those of us on the short height end of the women’s scale can only really make this work with intermittent fasting and probably paleo-diet.
Curious…why would that limit your to chicken vegetable and yogurt?

The work around as john suggests is not to be that low every day, or realize the bill of goods that we’ve been sold about losing a pound of fat per week never really considered how hard that would be for smaller women, as you suggested.
Now based on that logic, can you imagine those diets promising 5 pounds of fat loss per week?
I appreciate your response. There were many good suggestions and guidance points in the book especially about the psychology of eating/food choices. I also think his general ideas of planning by the week are right on and being attentive to your own body/progress are great. I really liked what he had to say, but I realized that for my body (a lot to lose) and short that I probably have a lot less leeway in choosing hot button foods/moments. That said, I can see how his numbers make sense if I think about how I put on the weight and ranged “during” some recent eating right (not figuring out calories efforts) and working out periods of time.
I bought the “Anything Goes Diet” and I think that it’s a really great book. It dispels the myth that frequent meals increase the metabolism and it gives you very helpful information on how to create a calorie deficit without feeling hungry. In general, it’s a very good, evidence-based diet system.
