I went from 276 pounds to 160 pounds (I'm 182 pounds today, I slacked off) doing One Meal A Day and looking back on it now, I do not know where I got that willpower from because It's hard as hell for me to do One Meal A Day today. I go to the gym, and I work in construction, I gotta eat Breh. I really want to get back on it though, but to answer your question OP, I've never read the book.
