For many years, John Nicholson was a vegetarian. He ate what many of us would see as a healthy diet — no meat, very little fat and lots of grains. The problem was that he was not healthy. He was clinically obese. His cholesterol was high. He suffered from acid reflux. He had terrible headaches and felt tired. And then there were, as he puts it in this blokeish, frank book, the “arse-based issues”. Then Nicholson managed to solve all his problems. He started eating meat again. He ate fat. He lost weight. His awful symptoms abated. He explains why he thinks this happened. A stirring read.
