Why we get fat

Book • 2010

In 'Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It', Gary Taubes critiques the 'calories-in, calories-out' model of weight gain, arguing that carbohydrates and insulin play a crucial role in obesity.

He presents a low-carbohydrate diet as a solution to maintaining a healthy weight.

The book is based on extensive scientific research and historical analysis of nutritional science.
