BK – Why We Get Fat

A compelling look at the science behind weight gain and the factors that influence our health.

In Why We Get Fat, bestselling author Gary Taubes challenges common beliefs about diet, exercise, and weight management while exploring the research behind why people gain weight. Drawing from his previous work and updated evidence, Taubes examines how nutrition science has shaped our understanding of obesity and offers a different perspective on the causes of weight gain.

The book explores key questions about metabolism, genetics, exercise, and food choices, including why some people struggle with weight while others do not and which foods may contribute to or support better health. With clear explanations and practical guidance, Why We Get Fat provides readers with a science-based approach to understanding nutrition and managing weight.

Includes an easy-to-follow diet plan and an updated afterword addressing common questions.†
