373. The Diet Myth: The Real Science Behind What We Eat by Tim Spector

BOOK REVIEW: The Diet Myth - The Real Science Behind What We Eat by Tim Spector

As a foodie, I have always been on a roller coaster of weight management. I always had a lot of questions like why does one person eat a certain meal and gain weight, while another loses pounds? This book was completely insightful.

The answers are much more surprising - and fascinating - than we've been led to believe. The key to health and weight loss lies not in the latest fad diet, nor in the mantra of 'eat less, exercise more', but in the microbes already inside us.

Drawing on the latest science and his own pioneering research, the author demystifies the common misconceptions about fat, calories and more. Only by understanding what makes our own personal microbes tick can we overcome the confusion of modern nutrition, and acheive a healthy gut and body.

For my review, this was a great book which made serious reading very light and understandable. I'd recommend this to my foodie friends and I know some of you are too!
