Calorie information is ubiquitous. On packaged food, restaurant menus, and online recipes, we see authoritative numbers that tell us the calorie count of what we're about to consume. And we treat these numbers as gospel: counting, cutting, intermittently consuming, and, if you believe some “experts” out there, magically making them disappear.
We all know, and governments advise, that losing weight is just a matter of burning more calories than we consume. Here's the thing, however, that most people have no idea about: All of the calorie counts that you see everywhere today are wrong.
In Why Calories Don't Count, Dr. Giles Yeo, obesity researcher at Cambridge University, challenges the conventional model and demonstrates that all calories are not created equal. He addresses why popular diets succeed, at least in the short term, why they ultimately fail, and what your environment has to do with your bodyweight. Once you understand that calories don't count, you can begin to make different decisions about how you choose to eat, learning what you really need to be counting instead. Practical, science-based, and full of illuminating anecdotes, this is the most entertaining dietary advice you'll ever find.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Patience does not pay off

The information provided in this book is legit and fairly easy to digest. Dr. Yeo has that children's book author energy, Inserting some quips and punchlines here and there to keep the delivery of the content fresh. Sometimes though, he would start talking about a story that does connect back to the main topic but takes too long for me to stay focused. In that light, the quips and zany jokes do become more cheesy than cute. I don't blame a man for trying though.
Informative, But Slightly Meandering

1. a calorie is a calorie
2. eat less and exercise more.
3. Our understanding of food and how our digestive system works is a fairly new thing that is combobulated with everyones opinion.
