The Diet Myth

I had two people tell me to read "The Diet Myth" in one week and I have to say I am a little fascinated by it. It is yet ANOTHER book that tells us another thing wrong with out diets. What is really bad for us? The professor doesn't actually give you a diet to follow but does research basically all other diets.

The thing that intrigues me is that he states from the beginning that "evidence shows that we all respond differently to the same foods." This has been troubling me forever and if anyone is obese, you know you have seen this first hand. It is maddening.

The author, Tim Spector, believes it has to do with the health of your gut. I don't know if everything he says is true,  but I have been eating yogurt like a mad woman all week. Also trying to get as much variety as possible.

As it is a long weekend, I plan on reading the whole book in a few days, but it is interesting to read a few of the articles out there right now.
