 Description: 

For the last few decades, we have come to accept that consuming fat is terrible for us, carbs are great, and you can consume a low volume of calories and workout rather than normal. All of us have seen a dramatic rise in prevalence of illnesses such as obesity and diabetes. Dr. Robert Lustig suggests that the issue lies with processed carbohydrates that is readily digested and sugars, that it contains a lot of calories, and that the trick to a balanced diet is to regulate the amount of calories we take in.

Dr. Taubes' novel, "Good Calories, Bad Calories" is praised as "a very important book". His book "Good Calories, Bad Calories" is "going to change the way we think about food." Michael Pollan's thesis has been referred to as a "dismantling the myth of dieting" and his latest book, "Food Rules", is said to be the "definitive guide to going vegan"..
