* He's pandering to fat people by telling them it's not their fault.
* Promoting fasting for extended period like it's some holy grail
* Says calories don't matter, but really he's just being pedantic to stir up some controversy
At the end of the day, I can't take him seriously because his conclusions are derived from his experience with his patients, an exceptional minority of sick and dying people. I'd take the word of a non-pHd'd coach over this quack any day.

That stuff is embedded deep in your brain, excel at these movements and you can flee AND fight. You know we call anxiety a "fight or flight" response, what do you think happens when you suck at both of those? You produce more stress hormones and you actually get fatter.
They control the agriculture industry, they've thought your mothers to feed you wrong. If you're not doing anything to compensate for the fact that we went from hunter gatherer to cubicle dweller, how long can you sit at your computer every morning, put on your glasses, stare at your three monitors and try to convince yourself that you're not becoming some disgusting post-human cyborg?
The least you can do is:
* Get on a standard regimen of creatine monohydrate
* Work out with well-known compound movements every 2nd day
* Tone down the excessive use of sweeteners (any kind but especially the shittier ones, cane sugar, HFCS etc)
* Add a daily protein shake or two
* Take your multivitamin and/or least vitamin D and Omega-3
