1. 1. Gene Eating

   The Science of Obesity and the Truth About Dieting

   

   In this insightful exploration of the complex relationship between genetics and diet, the author delves into the science behind why we eat the way we do and how our genes influence our eating habits. The narrative challenges common misconceptions about dieting and weight loss, emphasizing that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. By examining the interplay between biology, environment, and personal choice, the book provides a nuanced perspective on the obesity epidemic and offers practical advice for achieving a healthier lifestyle. It encourages readers to embrace a more personalized approach to nutrition, grounded in scientific understanding.

2. 2. Why Calories Don't Count

   

   This accessible science book argues that body weight is governed largely by biology—genes, hormones, brain ‘set points’, metabolic adaptation and the microbiome—rather than simple arithmetic of calories in versus calories out, and shows how the modern food environment, especially ultra-processed foods, hijacks appetite and undermines willpower; it reviews the evidence behind dieting failures and proposes practical and policy-level changes to reshape the environment and help people maintain healthier weights.
