Title: Conquering Obesity, Conquering Mountains
Authors: Bruce Fam, Coach Aizat, and Praveen Raj

I have always struggled with my weight and find it difficult to stick to a diet, so this book was tempting to review, and I am glad that I did. I opened the book expecting the 'same old, same old', but was pleasantly surprised. Giving up your favourite food is not the answer. The book was compelling and uplifting.
One of the co-authors, Bruce Fam, was himself overweight, unfit, and stressed. In the introduction, he explained that with the mantra of this book, he has lost 28kg and is fit and happy. The reader will find out that time management is crucial. If this isn't a reason to read on, then I don't know what is.

An interesting fact: One Big Mac contains over 1000 calories, and with one hour of hard swimming, an average person can only burn off half of that.

We read about factors to consider when embarking on this life-changing journey and the six steps to follow to achieve it. It's all about lifestyle and aligning your life with your health. Stress, biological challenges, sleep, hydration, and environmental factors are all contributing factors in this process. Chapter eight explains these six steps. There are diagrams to help, and the prose is well-written and easy to understand, and I did not notice any grammatical errors.

Time management is so important, the book explains, and finding micro-moments to stretch, exercise, meditate, or simply close your eyes. Eat healthier food by seeing the big picture and how it will affect you for the rest of your life.

The book was personable and had many good ideas. It isn't about extreme dieting, but about being whole and mindful of your body, as it's the only one you'll have.

I would have enjoyed some 'before and after' photos of people who have lost weight.

All in all, I enjoyed the book and recommend it to those who are overweight. I will award five stars out of five.

You appreciate how the book delves into crucial factors beyond just diet, such as time management, stress, sleep, hydration, and environmental factors. The six steps to achieving optimum health, explained clearly with diagrams, sound very practical. It's great to hear that the prose is "well-written and easy to understand," with no grammatical errors, which always enhances the reading experience.
