Gene Eating: The Science of Obesity and the Truth about Dieting

In an age of misinformation and pseudo-science, the world is getting fatter and the diet makers are getting richer. So how do we break this cycle that’s literally killing us all?<br /><br /><br />Drawing on the very latest science and his own genetic research at the University of Cambridge, Dr. Giles Yeo has written the seminal “anti-diet” diet book. Exploring the history of our food, debunking marketing nonsense, detoxifying diet advice, and confronting the advocates of clean eating, Giles translates his pioneering research into an engaging, must-read study of the human appetite.<br /><br /><br />In a post-truth world,<em>Gene Eating</em>cuts straight to the data-driven facts. Only by understanding the physiology of our bodies, their hormonal functions, and their caloric needs can we overcome the mis- information of modern dieting trends, empower ourselves to make better decisions, and achieve healthy relationships with food, our bodies, and our weight.<br /><br /><br />Inspiring and revelatory, filled with lively anecdotes and fascinating details,<em>Gene Eating</em>is an urgent and essential book that will change the way we eat.
