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.

Another way to combat the 5 to 7 pounds the average American puts on in the winter is to watch the alcohol during all those holiday celebrations. Alcohol is packed with calories and promotes the release of insulin, which can mess with your metabolism. Plus, it can impair judgement on how much alcohol your consuming in the first place!

Simple remedy: drink a glass of water or a diet soda before and after each alcoholic beverage to help pace yourself. This will keep you full longer, minimize calorie consumption, and keep your mindset in check throughout the evening.

I was feeling defeated and frustrated with my health due to a chronic illness, but Matthew and the group met me where I was at and provided the balance of grace and truth that I needed. I lost 10 lbs during my first challenge, but more importantly I learned to be faithful with my responsibilities (eating well, exercising, etc.) and to trust God with the rest.
