Why We Get Fat
Why We Get Fat is an invaluable key in our understanding of an international epidemic and a guide to what each of us can do about it. A follow up to his New York Times best seller, Good Calories, Bad Calories, 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, especially regarding insulin’s regulation of our fat tissue.

For many people, the holidays bring more stress than joy. Stress can trigger the release of cortisol and when cortisol goes up, your weight usually does also. And that’s only half the stress problem. How do we handle stress? We tend to go to food and/or alcohol to “fix” the situation. Add on to that the escape of movies and TV, the anti-exercise, and you could be in for a world of hurt.

If you can be proactive in minimizing stress (do less shopping and do it early, not saying “yes” to every party, stay away from crowded malls/rude people/heavy traffic, etc) you can be proactive in minimizing or eliminating that dreaded winter weight gain!

I’m new to these weight loss challenges. I am good at starting diets but always lose my motivation. Jenny was great. Always checking in, giving support and posting inspiration. When I struggled she was understanding and encouraged me not to give up even though I did not lose as much weight as I wanted. She is such a great role model – someone who is not only a coach but in the trenches herself fighting to get healthier. I would like to do another challenge with her in the future.
