An eye-opening, myth-shattering examination of what makes us fat, from acclaimed science writer Gary Taubes.
In his New York Times best seller, Good Calories, Bad Calories, Taubes argued that our diet’s overemphasis on certain kinds of carbohydrates— not fats and not simply excess calories—has led directly to the obesity epidemic we face today. The result of thorough research, keen insight, and unassailable common sense, Good Calories, Bad Calories immediately stirred controversy and acclaim among academics, journalists, and writers alike. Michael Pollan heralded it as “a vitally important book, destined to change the way we think about food.”
Building upon this critical work in Good Calories, Bad Calories and presenting fresh evidence for his claim, Taubes now revisits the urgent question of what’s making us fat—and how we can change—in this exciting new book. Persuasive, straightforward, and practical, Why We Get Fat makes Taubes’s crucial argument newly accessible to a wider audience.
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. He also answers the most persistent questions: Why are some people thin and others fat? What roles do exercise and genetics play in our weight? What foods should we eat, and what foods should we avoid?
Packed with essential information and concluding with an easy-to-follow diet, 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.
有点道理,称人类为杂食动物本就不科学
评分作者从个人的视角, 引用科学文献,以反驳我们长期以来的公理“Calories in = calories out”, 指出胰岛素是引起肥胖和心脏病的杀手,进一步认为低碳水和高脂肪饮食是维持健康的饮食。但是作者所引用的科学文献多数是60、70年代之前的,最近的一篇是2007年。而且,有些内容相当于科普性质。 鉴于近年多数研究仍没有否定“Calories in = Calories out”, 所以他的推荐值得谨慎考虑。
评分作者是位记者,不是医生。其次,即使这本书是医生写的,他也只是一位医生,不是你的医生。如果你也是想要减肥的年轻女性,我想真诚的说,首先关爱我们的身体,体重并不定义我们,也不会局限我们。身理和心理健康比马甲线,川字肌更重要
