Is Metabolical a good book? Lustig feels all over the place...

It seems good in places but then in other places I'm baffled by his claims.

e.g. he claims HOMA-IR < 2.8 is fantastic (whereas anywhere else I've seen HOMA-IR > 2.0 is where you need to start getting concerned, i.e. mild IR...)

Yet he also claims fasting glucose >= 90 is cause for concern, and that ALT >= 25 is NAFLD...

Thoughts? Better Metabolic Health resources?

Would there be a point of seeking a diagnosis?

I think i could have nafld based on

- bmi/obesity

- insulin resistance measures (homa-ir, TyG) show me as having some about of IR

- generally being more tired the last year or so

is it worth getting a diagnosis for nafld? I need to lose fat either way, for sure, but wondering what the value of a dx could be?

thanks
