Actually Good Calories, Bad Calories is not a diet book. The author, Gary Taubes, spend 7 years digging into the medical research and this book is basically what he found. That the medical studies and the conclusions that were publicized were not the same. He goes into great detail on diabetes, obesity, heart conditions and cholesterol.
If you want an easier reading book, then his "Why we get Fat is very good as well". Also Wheat Belly (he tries to make it a diet book, but just ignore that part).

Eat foods that are this, but not ones that are that, this fat is ok, this fat is not, this sugar is ok, this one is not, on and on. It's impossible to completely eliminate ALL bad things, so why try? I try to keep it simple: Eat some meats, eat some veggies (i'm terrible about that), eat some fruit, don't add salt, don't add sugar, drink water and milk, avoid soft drinks and potato chips altogether. Eat all in moderation. Exercise. That's all there is to it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:348282 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
