OH MY GOD!!! I got it months ago and I am still only a third of the way thru it! It is worth the struggle tho, what an eye opener... |

A long time. But that was partly because my husband and I were reading it aloud together before bed, and we never got very far on any given night. |

About three days. Reading through the source material, longer. |

About 3 days--I could not put it down...except for the times I threw it across the room when I got angry at how much I had been misled about health and nutrition. It blew my mind and changed my life. |

A week or two in the free time I had at my office so probably about an hour to two a day. I absolutely loved it. |

I shelved it because it seems I'm already convinced about the main points it's trying to make. I hope I'm not missing out on important practical knowledge hidden in the details? |

A while, but I'd thrown it down in disgust by the time I got to the second half, which was the part that detailed the science and I already pretty much knew. It was the politics of how we came to be so misled by the scientific community and our government regarding diet and nutrition that made me foam at the mouth. I'd say something really foul about it all right now, but I don't want Patrik to suspend my account. :P |

A day, if only that it made me so angry. If the science stuff blurs, skip it. You'll get the gist of it. |

I read that book cover to cover. Thoroughly. It is by far the biggest book I've ever wholly read. It took me I think about 2 weeks. I read it like I read things in college: pen in hand, noting things in the margin, dog-earing the hell out of it, etc. The whole time i was reading it it was with a mind to use it later to convince my family that there may be a better way than SAD. |

Reading it now. Woah, what a book! Glad I got it. Sure it can be a bit repetitious and drag in certain places but it's been really eye-opening and I will get through it. Almost done with part 2 and should be to part 3 shortly - looking forward to his tackling of obesity and weight regulation. |

Just finished today...so approximately 3 weeks but I'm also insanely busy. And I got my mother (a doctor) to read it so at least I've had someone to rant to about how angry I was at all the doctors and nutritionists that kept me banging my head against the wall until I figured it out for myself...I 'm not saying it's the end-all-be-all, holy bible of healthy living but if just half of this information could be released legitimately to the public without some doctor qualifying it with SAD crap then it would be a big step in turning the tides on obesity and, I would argue having had one, the prevalence of disordered eating in general in America. GCBC, Primal Blueprint, and Schwarzbein Principle has been invaluable in making this final, successful transition in my health including putting my Lupus into remission and losing weight and effortlessly maintaining that loss now. GCBC is worth the time and I plan to re-read many parts I've highlighted/dog-eared again. |

I am currently reading it (along with several other books...it's hard to read just one) and it is taking me a while. I am over halfway through, but the science-y stuff was bogging down my brain so I took a break from it for a couple weeks. Other's answers about taking notes while reading it may have just inspired me to do the same. There is so much information in there, I often find myself reading the same passage multiple times just to make sure it sinks in! |
