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 read.
Intuitive eating is a non-diet approach to healthy eating that
focuses on unlearning diet cultures' toxic messaging so you can
build a healthier relationship with food and your body. There is a
common perception that intuitive eating approaches are also
anti-nutrition, but that's simply not the case. In this book,
registered dietitian Rachael Hartley looks at the role of gentle
nutrition in intuitive eating. She explores why diets don't work,
why weight doesn't equal health, and how to approach nutrition in a
flexible way, with the goal of promoting wellbeing, not reaching
for an arbitrary number on the scale.
