Why Calories Don’t Count: How We Got the Science of Weight Loss Wrong by Giles Yeo
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 6mb
Overview: In this great read, Giles Yeo ruthlessly and amusingly destroys the calorie as our most persistent diet myth.’ Tim Spector, author of Spoon-Fed and The Diet Myth
‘A tour de force by the wise and witty Professor Giles Yeo. As well as being one of the UK’s foremost experts on the genetics of obesity, Professor Yeo knows how to tell a great story. After reading this brilliant book you will understand what the labels on food really tell us, and what they don’t.’ Michael Mosley, author of The Fast 800
‘Giles Yeo knows that when it comes to motivating us to make better food choices, a little understanding goes a long way. He writes with a gift for making the science of diet interesting and a knack for telling us just what we need to know, and not too much more. Here he takes on the demon calories, and shows us why we should neither fear them, nor worship them, and certainly not count them. It’s a book that will help you not just to eat better, but to enjoy eating better. And that’s got to be worth having on your kitchen shelf.’ Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
Calorie information is ubiquitous. On packaged food, restaurant menus and online recipes we see authoritative numbers that tell us the calorie count of what we’re about to consume. And we treat these numbers as gospel; counting, cutting, intermittently consuming and, if you believe some ‘experts’ out there, magically making them disappear. We all know, and governments advise, that losing weight is just a matter of burning more calories than we consume.
