FACE THE FAT: THE NINE REAL REASONS WE ARE PUTTING ON WEIGHT
Book ID/图书代码： 03540012B57598
English Summary/英文概要： An explosive new take on the science of weight gain that turns the simplistic notion of ‘you are what you eat’ on its head.
Our belief that we turn fat if we eat too much and exercise too little is hard-wired into our culture, but new scientific studies are challenging the simplicity of this belief. What if some people’s propensity to put on weight had little to do with calories and all to do with their grandparents’ diet and lifestyle? What if viruses, air pollution, antibiotics and chemicals used in food packaging were as responsible for the obesity epidemic as the sugar contained in soda drinks? A significant number of obesity specialists now believe that in order to tackle one of the greatest threats to our health, we need to face the facts... and the facts point towards more than just calories.
This won’t come as a surprise to millions of people around the world who have tried and failed to lose weight through diets. The findings discussed in Face the Fat shows how our obsession with calorie counting is misguided; not all calories are equal, and two people on the same diet will gain or lose weight differently. Face the Fat will explore which diets work and how, and will explain why, if you want to lose weight permanently, you need to choose a diet you can stick to all your life. It will also look at at the science of epigenetics, investigating the impact of our ancestors’ lifestyles on our health and the link between child obesity and mother’s diet during pregnancy.
Face the Fat will certainly spark controversy but, more importantly, hopefully the findings in this book will also help to steer us on a course to a healthier, thinner future.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是一本全新的爆炸性作品，揭露了体重上升背后所隐含的科学秘密，逆转了“吃多少张多少”的简单理解。
我们的文化在我们的脑海里植入了这样一个根深蒂固的观念，即我们之所以会长胖是因为吃得多而锻炼的少。但是，新的科学研究正在挑战这种简单的理解。假如某些人长胖不是因为自身吃得多，而是因为由他们的祖父母的饮食习惯造成的将会怎么样呢？亦或者是因为病毒、环境污染和食品包装中滥用抗生素和化学物质？这些有害物和碳酸饮料中的糖分一样会使的我们体重上升？目前，一大批肥胖研究专家相信为了解决我们健康的最大威胁之一，我们必须面对现实，而现实所指的并不简单是卡路里。
对于全世界数以百万计曾今尝试过节食但却不见减肥成效的人来说，本书的观点并不会让他们感到诧异。《直击肥胖》一书指出我们错误地将卡路里与肥胖联系在一起。实际上，卡路里所带来的效果是不一样的，两个人饮食一样，但不见得就会同等体重。本书还是探讨那种饮食比较富有成效，以及产生效果的方式和原因。如果你想永久地瘦下去，那么你就要选择终身可以坚持的饮食习惯。本书还探讨了发育遗传学，深入调查了我们祖先的生活方式以及母亲怀孕期间饮食对我们健康与后代发胖之间的联系。
《直击肥胖》必然会激起争论，但更重要的是，本书的发现将会给我们带来希望，引导我们走向更加健康而苗条的未来。（XMM）
