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.
