Weight, Weill and Taubes...

The opinions and controversy continue...but this is enlightening of the attitudes out there...

Journalist Gary Taubes wrote the 600 page book - Bad Calories, Good Calories. It's challenging old beliefs about why so many people are overweight (and don't feel good). MD Andrew Weill endorses it, saying that most of the beliefs and causes given for overweight and obesity the last 50 years are based on "nothing." That's even though he has his own books and diets he promotes.

Taubes' book, plus 15 intense years in nutrition and weight field and personal work with hundreds of clients, is part of the basis of Dr. Heidi's ER Fat Burn Cycle of her ER program.
