Why are we told to "eat less" and "exercise more" when the science doesn't support it? Gary Taubes answers that question and explains how our fat cells work. Once we understand what makes us fat and what will make our fat cells smaller, we can do something about it.
The idea that eating more and lack of exercise are the effects of fat rather than the causes is an old one. Taubes explains how that knowledge was "lost" and why there is resistance to rediscovering it.
While this book addresses the same topics as Good Calories, Bad Calories the treatment is very different. It is much more readable though still well documented. This book is the take home message from Good Calories, Bad Calories.
