About this listen
With scientific research, her own chemistry background, and the traditional diets of our not-so-distant ancestors as her guides, Dee McCaffrey casts new light on an age-old wisdom: Eating foods in their closest-to-natural form is the true path to sustained weight loss and, in fact, the remedy for almost any health problem.
We are so far removed from foods in their natural states that we now call them "health foods", a sad admission that we've compromised our health for the sake of convenience. The Science of Skinny aims to create a space for change - to educate and enlighten listeners on the value of proper nutrition so they can find a healthier and more life-affirming relationship with their bodies and the food they eat.

Story
Appetite Correction (AC) is a revolutionary new focus in weight loss based on years of user experience with Dr. Bert’s ground-breaking guide to daily intermittent fasting, The Fast-5 Diet and the Fast-5 Lifestyle. AC means getting your body’s appetite center working again, so not only do you lose excess fat, you lose it without being hungry, and once you’ve lost the weight, it stays off if you maintain the flexible, low-effort AC lifestyle. When the appetite center is working properly, you don’t want to eat more than you need.

Glucose, or blood sugar, is a tiny molecule in our body that has a huge impact on our health. It enters our bloodstream through the starchy or sweet foods we eat. Ninety percent of us suffer from too much glucose in our system—and most of us don’t know it. The symptoms? Cravings, fatigue, infertility, hormonal issues, acne, wrinkles. Drawing on cutting-edge science and her own pioneering research, biochemist Jessie Inchauspé offers ten simple, surprising hacks to help you balance your glucose levels and reverse your symptoms—without going on a diet or giving up the foods you love.

Popular diets rarely work because they force you to adopt a short-sighted approach...like avoiding entire food groups or skipping meals. That is not a sustainable approach to weight loss.

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.

What studies clearly now show - and what Dr. B preaches with his patients - is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism, balancing our hormones, and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases.

Chances are, if you’re eating something that came wrapped in plastic and contains a funky ingredient you don’t have in your kitchen, it's most likely—almost definitely—ultra-processed food, or UPF.

The key to weight loss isn't calories. It isn't fat. It isn't protein. It isn't even carbs. You can count them, cut them, and swap them all you want, but you won't lose weight if you're eating foods that your body can't tolerate. And the most common diet foods - like egg whites, wheat bread, and fat-free yogurt - are some of the worst offenders. These "healthy" foods are actually making you fat! In this book, celebrity nutritionist and fitness expert J. J. Virgin pinpoints the 10 foods that sabotage weight loss. Just by eliminating these 10 diet saboteurs, listeners will see incredible results.

Is it possible to eat well, drink wine, and still lose weight? Melanie Avalon is living proof that it's not only possible, it's unbelievably simple and straightforward. It's all about the what (mostly paleo, but she's not a monster about it), the when (believe it or not, brief fasting can mean freedom rather than restriction), and the wine (red wine can be a secret bullet for weight loss - who knew?). It's a combination that Avalon discovered after years of self-experimentation and intense research on the mechanics of body fat regulation.

Are you taking calcium or vitamin D? This book could save your life! Learn the secret to avoiding osteoporosis and heart disease. Millions of people take calcium and Vitamin D supplements thinking they're helping their bones. The truth is, without the addition of Vitamin K2, such a health regimen could prove dangerous. Without Vitamin K2, the body cannot direct calcium to the bones where it's needed; instead, the calcium resides in soft tissue, like the arteries, leading to a combination of osteoporosis and atherosclerosis, or the dreaded "calcium paradox".

Conventional medicine tends to treat arthritis with strong, gut-damaging, immune-suppressing pain medications, temporarily relieving the symptoms of the disease without addressing its root causes.

Knowledge equals longevity and great health.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in gaining control of their health. While the title is catchy for those looking to be "skinny" they are in for a shock (and a treat) because this book provides information about obtaining maximum health so that our bodies conform to its natural state which is healthy, healed and whole. The reader will learn about some of the things we put into our bodies that are slowly killing us. It then breaks the information down so that we have full, transparent knowledge how these substances came to exist (or be created).
What did you like best about this story?
I believe the research and knowledge provided in this book will save lives. At the very least, it will give readers an opportunity to make conscientious, informed decisions that govern their health, their lives and those they love.
Which character – as performed by Erin Bennett – was your favorite?
This narrator did an excellent job of portraying the author's intent in a clear and precise manner. While the book itself is well written and easy to read it is also an excellent choice to own on audio.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This book will move you to change the way you shop, eat and read labels.
Any additional comments?
I think this book should be required reading in this age of morbid obesity and critically poor health. Before we can change our (eating) habits we need to know why and how they were first developed; we then need to know how we can break these habits contributing to our declining way of life (via food). We require food to survive. So what are all the extras in food about? Looks? Taste? Profit? And at what costs are we willing to pay to have these "extras" that are slowly robbing us of our health? Do we moderate or eradicate? You choose; but gain knowledge first, so that you are able to make an informed decision. This book will help you do that.

loaded with practical, useful information!
this book is chalked full if eye opening, practical, useful information, that can simply be used to change your life and body. really, really good stuff, and it's common sense stuff too. stuff we all know deep down, but have chosen to ignore. if anything is to change, our ignorance to things like the food industry, has got to end. this book will help you end it. I've already begun using the helpful info in this book. lost a stubborn 5 pounds in the first week, and already my gut had began feeling better.

life-changing
I listened to the book during my walks everyday and as I gradually got through the chapters I immediately would incorporate the tips from what I'd just heard that I knew would work for me. In less than 10 days my body has changed, my energy is way way up and my clothing is already becoming way looser.

Pandora's Box
Both enlightening and terrifying! You will never look at your food the same way ever again.

Chock Full of Information!
I learned so much from this book! The science and the practical information are mixed together like a salad topped with stories from real life people who benefited from living a processed-food-free life. I relearned the dirty dozen, and received valuable advice about healthy cooking oils and not so health cooking oils. Coconut oil is good for you! Yeah! I use Noom, and over 4-years I have lost 24 lbs., about 0.5 lbs. per month. This book has reinforced the importance of taking care of myself, meal planning and asking wait-persons for vinegar for my salads. My mother and father said, “Eat your vegetables”. They were right!

I’m an obesity specialist MD! And this taught me a lot!
Wow! Dee, you’re so talented a Godsend indeed! I am an obesity board certified MD and I still learned a ton from your hidden gem of a book!
Wow!
Suffice it to say I couldn’t even wait to finish the whole book to rate it 5/5!! Never happened before, despite reading hundreds of books on the matter! Moreover, never decided to read the book again immediately after finishing it till your book!
Highly recommended!
