Story
For decades we have been taught that fat is bad for us, carbohydrates better, and that the key to a healthy weight is eating less and exercising more. Yet despite this advice, we have seen unprecedented epidemics of obesity and diabetes. Taubes argues that the problem lies in refined carbohydrates, like white flour, easily digested starches, and sugars, and that the key to good health is the kind of calories we take in, not the number.

You may not be aware of this – not consciously, at least – but you do not control what you eat. Every mouthful you take is informed by the subtle tweaking and nudging of a vast, complex, global system – one so intimately woven into everyday life that you hardly even know it's there. The food system is no longer simply a means of sustenance. It is one of the most successful, most innovative and most destructive industries on earth. It sustains us, but it is also killing us.

In The Dorito Effect, Mark Schatzker shows us how our approach to the nation's number-one public health crisis has gotten it wrong. The epidemics of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes are not tied to the overabundance of fat or carbs. Instead we have been led astray by the growing divide between flavor - the tastes we crave - and the underlying nutrition.

It's not you; it's your schedule. Does it sound like magic? It's not. We've all heard of circadian rhythms - those biological processes that give us jet lag and make us night owls or early birds. But few of us know just how profoundly these diurnal patterns affect our overall health. Bad habits - like skipping meals, squeezing in workouts, working late into the night and then trying to catch up on sleep during the weekend - disrupt our natural cycles. A growing body of research on chronobiology reveals just how sensitive the human body is to these rhythms all the way down to the genetic level.

Education Sensation!
Really learnt a lot in this book. The author breaks things down into easy to understand explanations on how the body works. I understand he has his own theories about what causes weight set points but then all science starts with a theory. His make alot of sense.

Why we eat too much

I would highly recommend this book
This book brings together everything you have heard through the years about dieting and food. It gets down to the basics and highlights why there is so much misleading information out there.
Key tenants include gaining an understanding of ‘set point weight’, why whole foods are good- including meat fat provided the animal ate as nature intended (ie grass and not grains), why the balance of Omega fats are so important.
If you’re interested in getting healthy you will enjoy & learn from this book and the narration will not kill you.

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food
I really enjoyed the narrator of this book...a little too much as his voice kept putting me to sleep, Thank Audible for the rewind button. The insights into appetite however were informative to a certain degree. As someone who is doing a Keto low carb lifestyle I did not get as much information & motivation as I was expecting; however the chapter on metabolic set-point & why the body has a tendency to put back the weight was worth it for the price alone. I only wish there were more "tools" or ways to combat this natural phenomenon. I was left still asking the question just "why do we eat (too much)"
