Richard Nikoley: 6-Years of Self Experimenting: My Fully Integrated Approach To Paleo / Primal Eating, Real Food and Vibrant Health
His book, also recommended by Nassim Taleb, is Free The Animal.
I likely would not have done much beyond a simple low carbohydrate, Paleo / Primal diet—combined with intermittent fasting, some supplementation of fat soluble vitamins and a mineral or two, and brief workouts at the gym—if it had worked as anticipated once I had dropped from the 235-240 down to 175 in the first couple of years.
