Introduction -- A game of inches. Are your genes to blame when your jeans don't fit? ; It's all in your head ; All calories are equal, but some calories are more equal than others -- Paleolithic dreams. Should we eat like the Flintstones? ; Good gluten, bad gluten and ugly gluten ; Blessed are the cheesemakers -- Let food be thy medicine. I am 'plant-based', NOT a vegan ; Cleanse and detox ; The alkaline swindle -- Problem of our time. Eat like this and look like me ; What's the right diet for you? ; The perfect diet written in your genes -- Epilogue: "Yeo truths".
An indispensable, groundbreaking look at the way our genetic makeup influences our relationship with food.
In an age of misinformation and pseudo-science, the world is getting fatter and the diet makers are getting richer. How do we break this cycle? Yeo explores the history of our food, debunking marketing nonsense, detoxifying diet advice, and confronting the advocates of clean eating. He cuts straight to the data-driven facts: only by understanding the physiology of our bodies, their hormonal functions, and their caloric needs can we empower ourselves to make better decisions, and achieve healthy relationships with food, our bodies, and our weight. -- adapted from jacket
