Good explanation of the book. Gary Taubes is science journalist explaining exactly the title, WHY We Get Fat.
He leaves it to two doctors to supply diet instructions, Dr Westman at Duke http://www.kostdoktorn.se/wp-conten...starch_diet.pdf. Is in the Appendix.
And simple instructions for an Obesity diet in a 1951 Endocrinology textbook by Dr Raymond Greene (Graham Greene's brother). Until the 1960s, scientists who understood the human body knew to lose weight, you cut out carbs and sugar. Every grandma told you to lose weight, cut out desserts and bread. What happened to commonsense? Who put grains at the bottom of the food pyramid? That's Taubes' fascinating story!
