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.

LEARN MORE...

More often than not, when we suddenly crave an unhealthy food (something salty, fatty, sugary, or maybe alcohol), there has been something in our life that has triggered it. Kids stressing you out at home and then find yourself reaching for some potato chips? Get the shaft on your work bonus and then all you can think about is having pizza and a beer? Your favorite team’s best player tears his ACL and the next thing you know, you’re taking it out on a Dark Chocolate Milky Way… or three.

Emotional triggers like this are very real. However, our ways of combating them only complicate the issue, they never fix it.

The next time you find yourself obsessing over a food like this, look back on your day and take stock of what happened. See if you can backtrack into identifying the trigger, then start being on guard for it in the future.

Over time you’ll learn to be more on guard for these stressors and develop a more productive method for dealing with them… like, say, I don’t know, maybe *cough *cough Exercise *cough *cough.

I decided to try the 21 day fix and am so glad I did. Due to an injury I wasn’t able to complete the exercise part of it. I still lost weight and owe so much of my success to Kim. She motivated and encouraged me when my injury was really getting me down. She always had time to answer my questions and she checked in with me daily. What I loved the most was that she held me accountable! I really don’t think I would have stuck with it on my own.
