Why We Get Fat pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
An eye-opening, myth-shattering examination of what makes us fat, from acclaimed science writer Gary Taubes.
In his New York Times best seller, Good Calories, Bad Calories, Taubes argued that our diet’s overemphasis on certain kinds of carbohydrates— not fats and not simply excess calories—has led directly to the obesity epidemic we face today. The result of thorough research, keen insight, and unassailable common sense, Good Calories, Bad Calories immediately stirred controversy and acclaim among academics, journalists, and writers alike. Michael Pollan heralded it as “a vitally important book, destined to change the way we think about food.”
Building upon this critical work in Good Calories, Bad Calories and presenting fresh evidence for his claim, Taubes now revisits the urgent question of what’s making us fat—and how we can change—in this exciting new book. Persuasive, straightforward, and practical, Why We Get Fat makes Taubes’s crucial argument newly accessible to a wider audience.
Taubes reveals the bad nutritional science of the last century, none more damaging or misguided than the “calories-in, calories-out” model of why we get fat, and the good science that has been ignored, especially regarding insulin’s regulation of our fat tissue. He also answers the most persistent questions: Why are some people thin and others fat? What roles do exercise and genetics play in our weight? What foods should we eat, and what foods should we avoid?
Packed with essential information and concluding with an easy-to-follow diet, Why We Get Fat is an invaluable key in our understanding of an international epidemic and a guide to what each of us can do about it.
Gary Taubes is a contributing correspondent for Science magazine, and his writing has also appeared in The Atlantic, The New York Times Magazine, and Esquire. His work has been included in The Best of the Best American Science Writing (2010), and has received three Science in Society Journalism Awards from the National Association of Science Writers, the only print journalist so recognized. He is currently a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator in Health Policy Research at the University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health. He lives in Berkeley.
有點道理,稱人類為雜食動物本就不科學
評分The simple answer to the question of why we get fat is that carbohydrates make us so; protein and fat do not.
評分也許是因為之前對卡路裏攝入和鍛煉隻是一個因素,在乎吃多少也在乎吃什麼,low GI, 少碳水這樣的理念有瞭解。覺得倒逼叨叨逼到能把這麼個一篇科普文就說清楚的觀點寫成這麼長一本書也是本事。但take home messege是胖瘦並不是一件簡單的事情。生理學的爭議存在,心理學的動機重要 (很多人吃其實是心理需要,尤其在創傷之後),社會經濟階級因素(對營養學知識瞭解,健康食物的access和消費力,所在社會階層的審美),還有尚未確定的遺傳因素(比如消化係統微生物)。現在越來越明顯的將胖意味著懶惰,沒有意誌力,對欲望放縱等等是講胖簡單的關聯到個人行為。這部分是因為減肥健身這個消費市場的日益壯大而帶來的宣傳,但是帶給個人的卻是因為缺乏對胖的復雜原因瞭解而産生的歧視和羞恥化。
評分十分意外但有說服力的結論。肥胖的主因是碳水化閤物而非貪食脂肪與缺少運動。附件部分為要義所在。
評分不一定適閤亞洲人,這種減肥法到底會有什麼樣的風險沒有說得很清楚。對器官如肝腎是否有長久傷害還是存疑
