Why We Get Fat

by: Gary Taubes

in: Diet & Nutrition

Summary:

The book presents the argument that obesity is primarily caused by the body's hormonal responses to certain types of food, particularly carbohydrates, rather than simply by consuming more calories than are expended. It challenges conventional wisdom on diet and weight loss, advocating for a low-carb, high-fat diet as a more effective way to control weight and improve health.
