Which is where we go full circle of woo to where this reaction choice is *kittens* compared to a "disagree" button.
Because I can certainly see 6 people saying: "I disagree! You don't need to spend any money in order to lose weight! Are you trying to peddle a book for no reason?".
But my limited brain is failing to understand which part of my statement was off the wall "woo": "If I had a burning desire to spend money and I was a woman who was concerned with her fat levels... I could do much worse than acquiring a copy of The Women’s Book Vol 1: A Guide to Nutrition, Fat Loss and Muscle Gain"
So a woman who has a burning desire to spend money and is concerned with her fat levels ought to chose which non-woo book in the opinion of my 6 (at the time of writing) friends?
The wooers don’t deserve your advice, let them flounder.8 -

While I often agree with your observations, regretfully, I find myself disagreeing with your assessment of the soundness of the advice given in the referenced article.7 -

What I particularly like is how she starts selling her book right in the first 30 seconds, and giggles a lot. But the really complicated line graph behind her threw me off, so I decided not to watch the rest.

fastening my woo seat belt, here... I have not read Lyle's pink book or know who Dr. Beth is, BUT...
I do eat at a slight surplus closely following ovulation and at a slight deficit once menstruation starts. Been doing this the better part of 2018. Ovulation is pretty noticeable to me, and so is the testosterone increase following follicule rupture/progesterone spike. (Progesterone is a precursor hormone to testosterone in women, no idea about men.) Testosterone feels great! Huge sense of well being, feel strong, etc. I progress my lifts during this week. Eating at a slight deficit once est & prog drop (triggering menses) averages to maintenance for the month.
I go only 100 kcal in either direction, so I've had to track more carefully than I normally would while maintaining. I also quit banking weekend calories when I started this, and that was the hardest part. I consequently eat more during the week (when I lift/recover) and less on weekends (when I drink adult beverages). I quickly dropped 2 pounds of water when I quit banking, and the drop persisted. Don't have an explanation for that. Have no idea if the calorie shifting really helps my lifts, but I hope it does. That's the woo part; hope is not a strategy. The caloric variety is nice, anyway. I have long flirted with the idea of a bulk, but I don't know enough to commit to it.3 -
I heard an osteopath once saying that nutritionist and doctors don't know anything about nutrition.
BTW I hope I ahve my hormones, as I am still 34, don't have kids and I would like to keep ovulating for a while, plus having my thyroid still working..yes I think I have some hormones. Wonder what Dr Beth would think!1 -

I made it to 43 seconds where the comparison of women's 7 bodies in her lifetime to men only having 2 bodies in their lifetime.4 -

I have seen again and again posters apologizing for using the Woo button incorrectly - they think it means Woo Hoo!, a good thing. It's so prevalent that the Woo button is useless.
Not to mention that this reaction button was launched with both meanings >.<3 -

And here I thought I was still living in the same old one I was born with! Is that like a cat having 9 lives? When you reach your 7th body you're out?3 -

Maybe we shed them like a snake, but in our sleep so we don't realize it.4 -
