I enjoyed his books on the topic.
Know what else I enjoy? Self-quoting instead of writing the same opinions all over again. Context be damned!
Continuing the discussion from Long-term weight loss considered nearly impossible:
If you’re talking about the ‘No Sugar No Grains’ above I can recommend Why we Get Fat by Gary Taubes as an excellent light-reading primer on ‘why’.
Or, if you’re interested enough to stomach the giant, heavily researched and footnote-heavy version of the same thing, ‘Good Calories Bad Calories’ is definitely worth the read. Also the best explanation I’ve read on how exactly bad science, good intentions and commercial interests combined into the perfect storm of worse-than-useless status quo policies regarding weight gain.
(Am I the only one who does this around here?)
