Description: Why Calories Don't Count by Giles Yeo A Cambridge obesity researcher upends everything we thought we knew about calories and calorie-counting. Calorie information is ubiquitous. On packaged food, restaurant menus, and online recipes we see authoritative numbers that tell us the calorie count of what were about to consume. And we treat these numbers as gospel--counting, cutting, intermittently consuming and, if you believe some experts out there, magically making them disappear. We all know, and governments advise, that losing weight is just a matter of burning more calories than we consume. But its actually all wrong. In Why Calories Dont Count, Dr. Giles Yeo, an obesity researcher at Cambridge University, challenges the conventional model and demonstrates that all calories are not created equal. He addresses why popular diets succeed, at least in the short term, and why they ultimately fail, and what your environment has to do with your bodyweight. Once you understand that calories dont count, you can begin to make different decisions about how you choose to eat, learning what you really need to be counting instead. Practical, science-based and full of illuminating anecdotes, this is the most entertaining dietary advice youll ever read.
