Showing results for "Truth and Lies" in Fitness, Diet & Nutrition

It’s no secret that the world is full of misinformation, from schools that teach outdated information to misinformed—but well-meaning—friends and family. Even the influencers are swearing by specific diets, products, and magical diets that promise to help you shed weight instantly. It’s no wonder most people have no idea where to start when it comes to eating better. Hungry for Truth takes a different approach. Author Tatiana Keay is on a mission to expose nutrition misinformation, dispel common inaccurate beliefs, and provide evidence-based nutritional truths.

En esta edición aniversario, revisada y actualizada, Mónica Katz y Valeria Sol Groisman nos introducen en el apasionante mundo de la alimentación y describen todas las facetas de esta actividad humana. ¿Por qué nos gustan ciertas comidas y rechazamos otras? ¿Qué función cumplen los sentidos? ¿Cómo utiliza la industria esos conocimientos? ¿Qué responsabilidad tiene el Estado en el control y la producción de los alimentos? ¿Cuáles son beneficiosos para nuestro organismo, cuánto debemos consumir y cómo tenemos que hacerlo para lograr disfrutar de la comida, sin recurrir a ninguna dieta?

The media, celebrities, weight-loss gurus, and the Internet bombard society with recommendations about how to shed unwanted pounds: Count calories, cut carbs, exercise more, skip meals, drink more water, pop a pill. Yet as more people try diligently to follow this advice, waistlines continue to expand. In Supersized Lies, Robert J. Davis, PhD, a.k.a. The Healthy Skeptic, shows you why this inability to lose weight isn't your fault as he reveals how hype, half-truths, and unproven solutions have steered you into fruitless quests that inflict emotional and physical harm.
