personally I think there is lots of extra info out there on how to diet/lose weight - but mostly people are looking to shift books, courses, ads, media etc. The Glucose Goddess was product lead at 23&me - this was famously a performance marketing dtc product used for data harvesting and flipping the data to GSK amongst other things. Now she's shilling her book/ideas in this area - hardly likely to give a balanced on un-biased view.
It's like the guy who said that exercise doesn't help weightloss on the steve bartlett podcast, everyone has to have some hot-take in order to sell some kind of media. I'm sure it's all interesting but I think it's extra data points rather than a breakthrough in how someone who wants to simply lose weight might think about things - eat less, move more :)

Diets that are effective, but not fun/gimmicky/difficult don't really sell books.
I can 100% guarantee that you'd lose weight if your diet consisted of:
1 can of tuna, 1 apple and 2 packs of cigarettes a day.
Only reference in the appendix would be Christian Bale's film the Machinist.
Not sure its the best cover photo for the book.

I would recommend reading or listening to the book I suggested above or checking out the glucose goddess on Instagram. It seems pretty revolutionary to me and if it works out a real game changer that’s easily incorporated into life. The hunger comes from the crash in bloody sugar so you need to try and flatten the peaks and troughs, it’s actually pretty easily done with loads of “hacks”. For instance eating some carrot sticks and hummus (fibre) before your normal meal massively affects the glucose and insulin response and whether your body stores or burns fats and how hungry you feel. Essentially you want to avoid eating starchy carbs first if possible.
