Why We Get Fat - And What to Do About It by Gary Taubes is a book that dives deep into the mystery of why people gain fat and how it can be prevented or reversed. The book is based on extensive research into the science behind fat gain in the human body.

Taubes reveals that the typical view of consumption and calorie counting falls short in explaining why individuals experience weight gain. Instead, he provides a convincing alternative theory, backed by evidence and research, that it is insulin resistance, rather than consumption, that is the true reason behind weight gain. Insulin resistance leads to abnormal functioning of fat cells, which leads to weight gain.

Taubes also debunks the theory that exercise alone can reverse or prevent weight gain in individuals. The author discusses how certain food types affect the human body and the role of genetics in the process of weight gain.

The book features an easy-to-understand language that offers insightful and meaningful information to readers. It is a practical guide to understanding weight gain, the science behind it, and the practical steps that individuals can take to reverse or prevent it.

It is a must-read for anyone who wants to take control of their health, and gain a deeper understanding of the workings of the human body. The book is informative, engaging, and thought-provoking.

In conclusion, Gary Taubes’ Why We Get Fat - And What to Do About It is a book that both educates and inspires readers.
