About this listen
AS HEARD ON THE DIARY OF A CEO PODCAST
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, and 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 come across.

Great book
Dr. Giles demystifies eating, food and obesity. Great book (along with Gene Eating) for those who appreciate science and understand that there are no easy solutions for difficult problems.
