Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight
A healthy living book that explains the physiology of weight, this text debunks the diet-to-lose myth by illustrating that traditional dieting activities actually activate ‘thrifty genes’ that lead to weight gain, both by increasing hunger and triggering other mechanisms. Linda Bacon, PhD, is a nutritionist and the lead investigator for a clinical research study that evaluates the Health at Every Size program.
