Book Description
For the first time in our history, scientists are uncovering astounding medical evidence about dieting–and why so many of us struggle with our weight and the size of our waists. Now researchers are unraveling biological secrets about such things as why you crave chocolate or gorge at buffets or store so much fat.
Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz, America’s most trusted doctor team and authors of the bestselling YOU series, are now translating this cutting-edge information to help you shave inches off your waist. They’re going to do it by giving you the best weapon against fat: knowledge. By understanding how your body’s fat-storing and fat-burning systems work, you’re going to learn how to crack the code on true and lifelong waist management….
This is a fantastic book that takes you through the physiology of how your body processes. It explains many of the core reasons why you are hungry, what makes you feel full, and what the signs are that your body gives you about what it needs. The big ‘ah-ha’ for me was that I have very little subcutaneous fat but a large abdominal section. For a long time I have wondered why this is and thought that I may just have very large intestinal organs. The book explained about Omentum Fat and how the Omentum is BEHIND the muscles of the abdomen. It also talks about how the omentum works as a fat storing engine and how to tune your eating to readjust your body processing to optimal efficiency.
I highly recommend this book. It’s a New York Times bestseller and a fun read.
