I searched for this book here but didn't find it. Anyone read this book? It's very highly rated on amazon.com. I know I know, calories in = calories out+deficit = weight loss.
Here's an article from the Chicago Sun: Obesity not caused by overeating :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Books |

Dietary fat does not cause obesity or heart disease; refined carbohydrates -- particularly sugar and starches -- are the real villains in our diet as well as the probable cause of diabetes, coronary artery disease and maybe cancer; insulin plays the key role in fattening. And his most heretical claim of all: Obesity is not simply a consequence of overeating and a sedentary lifestyle
| I'd be interested in seeing the 65 page bibliography of the book, but based on this somewhat skewed article - it sounds like he's making onemore excuse for people who are obese... that it's not our fault... guess what... it is... Quote: |
He even questions the time-revered relationship between exercise and weight loss. His alternate view is that the harder you work, the hungrier you get, and the more you eat. In other words, "Work up an appetite
| so is he saying then - exercise contributes to obesity - wow -maybe I should just stop walking 
Highly rated on amazon really doesn't mean much -it just means that people are willing to buy into the next big thing in diets...

I agree w/the person above who said he is making an excuse for obesity....
I picked it up and quickly flipped through it at Barnes & Noble before I read the publicity about it and was shocked.... mainly w/things already stated. ie- he thinks that excercise isn't healthy b/c it adds to your hunger???
do not want. |

Once you start keeping track of your calories, and keep within a moderate amount of calories (not 1200 as is usually suggested) but using fewer calories than the body burns off (keeping in mind that sleeping,and watching television do burn some calories)
The "trick" to losing weight is use more calories than you take in...
