Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes is a 288-page paperback published in 2018 that challenges conventional diet wisdom with rigorous scientific evidence. It reveals how insulin and hormones—not just calorie counting—drive fat storage, debunks popular low-fat and low-calorie dogmas, and advocates for a high-fat, moderate-protein, low-carb approach. Ranked top 50 in Low Carb Diets, this book is a must-read for professionals seeking to cut through nutrition misinformation and take control of their health with science, not hype.

## Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Taubes stands the received wisdom about diet and exercise on its head.” — The New York Times What’s making us fat? And how can we change? Building upon his critical work in Good Calories, Bad Calories and presenting fresh evidence for his claim, bestselling author Gary Taubes revisits these urgent questions. Featuring a new afterword with answers to frequently asked questions. Taubes 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. Complete with an easy-to-follow diet. Featuring a new afterword with answers to frequently asked questions.
