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.

The goal in trimming down should NOT be to lose weight but rather to shed fat. There are two key differences. Today I’ll give you the second one.

When is losing ever a good thing? Typically it means that either another team won or you can’t find something that is important to you. I can’t remember ever losing a belonging and being happy about it.

So why then characterize a fitness goal as wanting to “lose weight” unless you’re hoping to get it back. This is a subtle but important distinction. Reorient your thinking and aim to “shed fat” instead. You don’t want to give yourself any recourse to go back to your former self, be it physical (for example, get rid of your old clothes that now don’t fit) or in this case, emotional or psychological. Adopting a mindset of permanence is essential in establishing lifestyle changes.

I was in a rough spot with my nutrition and my training was suffering. I reached out to Matthew for some advice hoping he would guide in the right direction. He told me about an accountability group he would facilitate. I accepted the invitation and never looked back. The nutrition plan was very good (tasteful) and being accountable to fitness was great… The people I took this journey with were fantastic and so encouraging. It was exactly what I needed at the time. Thank you Matthew for the experience and believing in me…
