Healthy TV | Episode 029

There’s so much focus on how to lose weight, but hardly anyone is talking about why it happens in the first place…

It turns out the most common beliefs around weight gain – that it’s a product of bad genes, bad calories, and poor willpower – is misleading at best…  And downright destructive at worst.

This topic deserves some time… so I’m going to spend the next 4 shows diving into the nitty gritty about weight gain… And *spoiler* its NOT about lack of willpower, Calories, or being too lazy or stupid…

In today’s episode I’ll share with you:

• Why there were no obese cavemen.
• What evolution has to do with packing on pounds.
• How our brains are hardwired to overeat.
• How to avoid overeating.
• The most important lesson when it comes to eating.

Following last week’s Eat By Design Seminar several Practice Members have asked me to offer up a list of my favourite nutrition books.

And as I mentioned at the seminar, I too find it frustrating that there are so many diet and health books that continue to come out on a regular basis many of which completely contradict one another all written by seemingly intelligent and experienced “experts” in the field.  Unfortunately, this will always be true no matter what, which is why I thought it would be important for me to post this list to help you cut through all of the hype.

In no particular order, here are 9 of the best books about nutrition and health that have helped to shape Eat By Design in one way or another.
