Description
"Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It" by Gary Taubes (MS) challenges the idea that overeating and lack of exercise are the main causes of obesity. Taubes argues that carbohydrates, particularly refined sugars and grains, drive fat accumulation by disrupting insulin regulation. He critiques the traditional calorie-based weight loss model and presents evidence for low-carb diets. Shifting dietary focus away from processed carbs may support better weight management and metabolic health.
