Offered in 0 more formatsNew York Times bestselling author Gary Taubes' eye-opening audiobook explains what makes us fat and refutes some of the misconceptions that pass for medical advice and recommendations from public health institutions in our society and around the world.
Gary Taube's work is much more than a diet guide. The science journalist is primarily concerned with understanding the basics of obesity and thus being able to bring about real change in the long term.
Gary Taubes' most urgent tip is: stay away from refined, easily digestible carbohydrates and sugar! Why? Because they have an addicting effect and initiate body processes that we can hardly reverse. The hormone insulin, among other things, plays a key role here; in connection with food rich in carbohydrates, it triggers a kind of vicious circle in fat production.
On the basis of numerous scientific studies, Taubes is able to logically and profoundly prove that obesity is primarily caused by simple carbohydrates (sugar) and complex carbohydrates (starch). This explains why the equation "eat less + exercise more = lose weight" doesn't work out.
In this audio book you will learn among other things:
- Why Popular Diets Don't Work;
- Why the weight cannot be sensibly controlled even with the strictest starvation diet and the hardest work-out;
- Which foods we have to eat and which are only allowed in limited quantities;
- How you can take your health and wellbeing into your own hands.
Gary Taubes is a best-selling author and investigative journalist in the fields of science and health, and a co-founder of the nonprofit Nutrition Science Initiative.
