Challenge Your Beliefs About Losing Weight In The Book "Why We Get Fat"

There are no accidents.

As I'm assembling the components of my perfect fitness plan (see http://agedefiance.blogspot.com/2011/01/best-way-to-lose-weight-fast-for-over.html), pieces of it just pop up right in front of me.

For example, every knows that grocery stores place magazines so that us dumb shoppers can read the headlines/teasers while we wait in line.

So, last Sunday, while waiting for my hard-earned money to be stolen by the chain grocery store, I see "EAT THIS, LOSE WEIGHT - The New Science of Dieting." It's the February, 2011 edition of Reader's Digest.

I did the dumb consumer thing, and bought it. AND it was really a smart move!

Bottom Line - the award winning science jornalist Gary Taubes challenges common dieting beliefs in a book published in 2011 -

Here's a quote from the Reader's Digest article about the book:

What we tell people to do to lose weight - eat less and exercise - is exactly what you'd do if you wanted to make yourself hungry.

Whoops! No wonder dieting doesn't work!

Kinda piques your interest! Mr. Taubes makes a scientific case for a heart healthy low carb high protein diet and eating style a la Atkins. And yes you read it correctly - heart healthy.

I ordered Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It at AMAZON. More about its contents in future posts.
