Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Fat Loss Habits
Ben Carpenter · 2025
🎙 Narrated by Ben Carpenter (self-narrated)
74/100
👍 Worth It
Ben Carpenter skips the fad-diet promises and makes a myth-busting, data-backed case that habits — not the diet name — decide whether weight loss sticks, and reviewers say he pulls it off with a conversational, funny tone that tracks since he narrates it himself. The subtitle leans on censored profanity, worth knowing going in, but the substance underneath holds up. Worth the listen if you want fitness advice that doesn't oversell.
