Why diets make us fat : the unintended consequences of our obsession with weight loss
Aamodt, Sandra2016
Books
Based on her viral TED talk, neuroscientist and science writer Sandra Aamodt explains how the latest scientific research contradicts what you think you know about dieting and weight loss. We think we know the answer to weight loss: cut calories, eat less. We conclude that fat is a failure of willpower, perhaps supplemented by a quirk of genetics. But in 'Why Diets Make Us Fat', Sandra Aamodt explains why dieting not only doesn't work, but is likely to do more harm than good.
