I had been gradually making the move to the idea that carbs were causing the bulk of my problems around weight gain and energy management but this book really tipped the scales for me. His arguments are compelling and, frankly, undeniable in the face of the research he provides to back up his case. Public health advocates in this country got it wrong and they've done us a tremendous disservice by continuing to villanize fat while treating sugar/refined carbs as benign. If you are mindful of what you're eating and in what portions, exercising and still struggling with weight creep, this book might be for you. Very accessible argument for conscious decoupling from carbs. Debunks common medical 'wisdom' about the ability of many people to maintain a healthy weight over time through diet and exercise alone. While the author does provide evidence for his premise and much of it has the general ring of truth, supporting studies do seem cherrypicked without much attempt to introduce, much less refute, any counter evidence. Though the author does provide general eating guidance of what to eat and what not to eat (spoiler: cut way back on carbs), this book is more of argument why a diet makeover may make sense and less a how-to nutritional guide. It also presumes that everyone who wants to go carb-free can do so and for several reasons, the reality of that is way more nuanced and complicated. Overall, an easily digested and a valuable perspective. I've not read anything else by this author, but thanks to another reviewer may eventually pick up Good Calories, Bad Calories for a skim.
Mr. Taubes proceeds to stand the received wisdom about diet and exercise on its head in a particularly intriguing and readable synthesis.
This work is an examination of what makes us fat. In his book Good Calories, Bad Calories, the author, an acclaimed science writer argues that certain kinds of carbohydrates, not fats and not simply excess calories, have led to our current obesity epidemic. Now he brings that message to a wider, nonscientific audience. With fresh evidence for his claim, this book makes his critical argument newly accessible. He reveals the bad nutritional science of the last century, none more damaging than the "calories-in, calories-out" model of why we get fat, the good science that has been ignored, especially regarding insulin's regulation of our fat tissue. He also answers key questions: Why are some people thin and others fat? What roles do exercise and genetics play in our weight? What foods should we eat or avoid? Concluding with an easy-to-follow diet, this book is one key to understanding an international epidemic and a guide to improving our own health. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

This book is a short version of Taubes previous book Good Calories, Bad Calories. This book leaves out a lot of research presented in the prior book. Some of the research left out helped explain some health reasoning. ( )
