Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It

Nearly everyone who wants to lose weight gets annoyed over and over again by the same advice: “eat less, move more.” But how do you figure out which bite of food or swallow of liquid is too much—and which workout will be the deciding one? Gary Taubes, a journalist and author of bestsellers on nutrition, has been a lifelong “chunky guy.” After studying the mechanics of overeating and various diets, he was able to achieve a healthy, optimal weight. In this book, he shares a way not only to lose weight—and not even as much as to lose weight as to get healthy. The keto diet he discusses can help you shed excess pounds, improve your health metrics, and still stay full enough that you won’t crave forbidden delights.
