Shopping Mall : Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It [Paperback]
Building upon his critical work in
Good Calories, Bad Calories
and presenting fresh evidence for his claim, Gary Taubes revisits the
urgent question of what’s making us fat—and how we can change.
He
reveals the bad nutritional science of the last century—none more
damaging or misguided than the “calories-in, calories-out” model of why
we get fat—and the good science that has been ignored. He also answers
the most persistent questions: Why are some people thin and others fat?
What roles do exercise and genetics play in our weight? What foods
should we eat, and what foods should we avoid? Persuasive,
straightforward, and practical,
Why We Get Fat is an essential guide to nutrition and weight management.
