Why Diets Make Us Fat
The Unintended Consequences of Our Obsession With Weight Loss
by:
Sandra Aamodt
in:
Diet & Nutrition
Summary:
The book presents the argument that conventional diets often lead to weight gain and worsened health due to their unsustainable nature and the body's biological response to calorie restriction. It advocates for a focus on mindful eating and listening to the body's hunger signals as a more effective approach to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.
Key points:
1. Set Point Theory: Aamodt suggests our bodies have a natural weight range they maintain, and the brain works to keep us there despite dieting efforts.
