Why We Get Fat
Taubes reveals the bad nutritional science of the last century—none more damaging 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 key questions: Why are some people thin and others fat? What roles do exercise and genetics play in our weight? What foods should we eat or avoid?

Makes sense to me.

2. Crossing my fingers this isn't a fluke , but i've lost 8 pounds by
cutting out all extra sugar, which in my case was desserts and snacks.
