¿Por qué algunas personas son delgadas y otras gordas? ¿Qué papel juegan la genética y los ejercicios en nuestro peso? ¿Qué alimentos debemos comer y qué alimentos debemos evitar? ¿Por qué engordamos? responde estas preguntas y mejora nuestra comprension acerca de las calorias, grasas, carbohidratos, colesterol, resistencia a la insulina, metabolismo, ejecicios, genética y la epidemia de obesidad.
Taubes reconsidera la apremiante pregunta sobre qué nos hace engordar y cómo podemos cambiar, pone en evidencia la errónea ciencia de la nutrición del último siglo —nada más equivocado que el modelo de "calorías que ingieres, calorías que gastas"— presentando la ciencia correcta que ha sido ignorada, especialmente en relación con la regulación de la insulina de nuestro tejido adiposo. Persuasivo, directo y práctico, ¿Por qué engordamos? es una guía esencial para la nutrición y el control de peso.
