Not specifically, although it touches on some of the underlying cellular processes that trophology addresses. The book reads like a collection of scientific studies. It's like a doctoral thesis.
Don't get me wrong, it sounds like an interesting read to me. But focusing on a steady diet is next to impossible since I don't eat on a regular schedule (some days not at all). I realize that my riding performance would probably jump 3x if I focused on calorie expenditure as well regular training to influence muscle growth and strength. If I get competitive, absolutely. I will become an amateur dietician. Until then, while I ride streets, I'll get by with my bagels+srirarcha with the occasional plain flower tortilla washed down with h2o.
Maybe that's why I don't gain weight. I eat like a diseased hermit.
Not to get too heavy on you, but my mother didn't make time to eat right for years, so eventually she had to make time to take diabetes medicine. She died last summer at age 61.
Dieting is not about adhearing to a strict diet. It's about making choices. Choosing A over B at the grocery store or in the restaurant. Stop making excuses.
