Why we get fat and what to do about it

In 'Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It', Gary Taubes argues against the widely accepted 'calories-in, calories-out' model of weight gain.

He presents evidence that certain types of carbohydrates are the primary cause of obesity, rather than overeating or lack of exercise.

The book delves into the biological and biochemical processes involved in fat storage and metabolism, highlighting the role of insulin and genetic predispositions.

Taubes also provides practical advice on how to manage weight through a low-carbohydrate diet and challenges the conventional nutritional advice that has contributed to the obesity epidemic.
