Ich kann dieses Buch nur empfehlen für alle die mit ihrem Gewicht etwas unzufrieden sind und sich überlegen welche Diät endlich Abhilfe schaffen könnte (die Antwort ist nämlich: gar keine, warum, erklärt Dr. As someone who I thought was fairly well informed about nutrition and knew about ‘nutribollocks’, and how people sell their idea of nutrition and health through eating to a western world of people who are obsessed with weight, I was surprised at just how much I learned from this book about common fad diets and how they are wrong (and even about a couple I’d never heard of before). Dr Wolrich is one of those people, as are people like Martin Macdonald, Ben Carpenter, and Pixie Turner. Its a delicate and sometimes precarious dance to either develop and/or maintain a healthy relationship with food. He is also very passionate about nutrition and how it has been hijacked for spurious means and fights against this throughout the book.

Reintroducing complex carbs properly into my diet has helped no end with my piles issues (never knowingly undershared! I like how Dr Wolrich clearly explains why diets don't work and what is actually happening in our bodies instead when we restrict and/or cut out food groups. I was more than 2 stones heavier in the past and I did not feel healthy (I was nowhere near 20 stones though). The ancient Greeks didn’t know what bacteria or viruses were and many people believed that diseases were punishments from the gods. This book is the absolute gold standard for anyone wanting to learn more about nutrition and how to keep themselves healthy.If you want to make sure you’re getting legitimate, evidence-based information, you can look to sources like the Agriculture Department’s Dietary Guidelines , the American Heart Association and the National Institutes of Health .

Following bariatric surgery she lost a lot of weight – but unfortunately this has not been the magic switch to cure everything else. Enter my early 20s where I started getting digestive issues like vomiting, diarrhea, frequent loose stool, shivers, heartburn, stomach cramps.

I first heard of Dr Joshua Wolrich via Jameela Jamil’s podcast and his journey from a diet culture afficionado to its very outspoken critic caught my attention, so I splashed out on this hardcover. These diseases often cause unintentional weight loss due to increased metabolism, loss of appetite and difficulty swallowing, so adding a restrictive diet to the mix can be dangerous. Dr Wolrich starts by talking about ‘health at every size’ and how often people who do carry extra pounds are discriminated against – particularly when it comes to medical treatment. I consider myself to be generally pretty good at recognising the difference between science and pseudo-science.Er gibt Statistiken, zeigt Quellen und erklärt woher gewisse Ideen (BMI) überhaupt kommen und warum sie schon komplett veraltet sind. All of this sounds eminently sensible and achievable – definitely food for thought (shit pun definitely intended! Toch herinnert snel opzoekingswerk mij eraan dat obesitas wel degelijk een duidelijk hoger risico op type 2 diabetes geeft (uiteraard, want met toenemende BMI zal ook de massa visceraal vet toenemen! What I'm saying is that putting too much trust on medical advice and medications might be harmful in the same way as putting too much trust on the "gurus" from social media he is constantly criticizing and their nutribollock. Whilst this is a book full of scientific discussion, it is also full of deeply personal anecdotes and Wolrich's own past.
