Kind of academic text at many places but it is definitely an interesting read. Equips you with basic knowledge and biology behind obesity. ( ) This book has impacted me profoundly. I had been gradually making the move to the idea that carbs were causing the bulk of my problems around weight gain and energy management but this book really tipped the scales for me. His arguments are compelling and, frankly, undeniable in the face of the research he provides to back up his case. Public health advocates in this country got it wrong and they've done us a tremendous disservice by continuing to villanize fat while treating sugar/refined carbs as benign. If you are mindful of what you're eating and in what portions, exercising and still struggling with weight creep, this book might be for you. Very accessible argument for conscious decoupling from carbs. Debunks common medical 'wisdom' about the ability of many people to maintain a healthy weight over time through diet and exercise alone. While the author does provide evidence for his premise and much of it has the general ring of truth, supporting studies do seem cherrypicked without much attempt to introduce, much less refute, any counter evidence. Though the author does provide general eating guidance of what to eat and what not to eat (spoiler: cut way back on carbs), this book is more of argument why a diet makeover may make sense and less a how-to nutritional guide. It also presumes that everyone who wants to go carb-free can do so and for several reasons, the reality of that is way more nuanced and complicated. Overall, an easily digested and a valuable perspective. I've not read anything else by this author, but thanks to another reviewer may eventually pick up Good Calories, Bad Calories for a skim.
Mr. Taubes proceeds to stand the received wisdom about diet and exercise on its head in a particularly intriguing and readable synthesis. Distinciones
Taubes revisita la apremiante pregunta de qué nos hace engordar y cómo podemos cambiar. Revela la pésima ciencia nutricional del último siglo--nada más perjudicial o desacertado que el modelo de "calorías que ingieres, calorías que gastas"--y la buena ciencia que ha sido ignorada, especialmente con relación a la regulación de la insulina de nuestro tejido adiposo. También responde las preguntas más persistentes: ¿Por qué algunas personas son delgadas y otras gordas? ¿Qué papel juegan la genética y los ejercicios en nuestro peso? ¿Qué alimentos debemos comer y qué alimentos debemos evitar? Persuasivo, directo y práctico, ¿Por qué engordamos? hace accesible a una mayor audiencia el argumento crucial del autor. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
