Why people recommend it

Why We Get Fat and what to Do about it by Gary Taubes is an accessible exploration of nutritional science and the dietary misconceptions that have fueled the modern obesity epidemic. On The Joe Rogan Experience in July 2016, Bryan Callen enthusiastically brought up the book, expressing his fondness for the author and noting how effectively it traces the historical roots and genealogy of the widespread weight and health crisis. Later, in July 2018, comedian Jeff Garlin appeared on the same podcast and mentioned reading Gary Taubes's work to gain a better personal understanding of human nutrition and to help guide his own weight loss journey. Both guests highlighted the practical value of the title in breaking down complex metabolic science.
