Valgote daug vaisių ir daržovių, mažinate porcijas, skaičiuojate kalorijas, tačiau kilogramai nuo jūsų talijos niekaip nedingsta. Tuo tarpu jūsų draugė be sąžinės graužimo kasdien prie kavos mėgaujasi gardėsiais, ir vis tiek išlieka liauna it nendrė. Genetinės epidemiologijos profesoriui dr. Tim Spector ši situacija taip pat pasirodė keista. Kaip jam sekėsi ieškoti atsakymo į šį klausimą, skaitykite knygoje „Mitai ir tiesa apie maistą“.
Kaip ir bet koks kitas mokslas, dietologija randa vis randa naujų atsakymų į klausimą, kodėl tą patį maistą valgantys žmonės yra skirtingo svorio? Tačiau Tim Spector trumpam siūlo pamiršti dietas ir nepulti keisti savo valgiaraščio. Pirmiausia jis kviečia pažvelgti į savo vidų, į gilausią ir tamsiausią vietą - žarnyną.
Tai, kaip organizmas įsisavina maistą, priklauso nuo daugybės faktorių. Natūralią mūsų organizmo mikroflorą lemia genai. Mumyse gyvenantys mikroorganizmai palengvina arba apsunkina maisto įsisavinimą. Šioje knygoje, parašytoje lengvu žaismingu stiliumi, mokslininkas ieško atsakymų į mus kamuojančius klausimus – Kaip mus užprogramuoja genai? Ką organizmo mikrobai veikia kiaurą dieną? Kokie maisto produktai jiems patinka? Ar gali žarnyne gyvenančios bakterijos reguliuoti mūsų skonį? Kam reikalingi probiotikai? Ką mano apie badavimą mūsų gerosios bakterijos? Ir, žinoma, svarbiausias lieka klausimas-karalius – kaip numesti svorio?
Kodėl prancūzai, be saiko besimėgaujantys savo riebiais sūriais, gardžiais vynais ir tobulais prancūziškais raguoliais nestorėja? Kodėl kasdienis aktyvus sportas ir kukli pietų porcija netirpdo kilogramų?
Tim Spector pabrėžia – atsakymas slypi žmogaus viduje. Tinkamų maisto produktų pasirinkimas ir nuoširdus rūpinimasis žarnyne gyvenančiais mikroorganizmais – būdas, kuris leis mėgautis gražesnėmis kūno linijomis. „Mitai ir tiesa apie maistą“ remiasi pacientų istorijomis ir solidžia mokslininko patirtimi. Skaitytoją ypač sužavės paties autoriaus atlikti „buitiniai eksperimentai“. Pavyzdžiui, kas nutinka, jei dešimt dienų mintame greitu maistu ir ką apie tai mano mūsų organizmo gerosios bakterijos?

He makes a brilliant case -- William Leith * EVENING STANDARD * [Spector's] fascinating book explores the various elements of the human diet: fats, proteins, carbohydrates, fibre, artificial additives, cocoa, caffeine, nuts, alcohol (and antibiotics)...if there is one thing he is convinced of it is that the microbes in our guts are the key to our optimum health and that we ignore them at our peril * GOOD BOOK GUIDE * Life-changer: This is a remarkable read. Spector is a highly respected scientist - I guarantee his book will change the way you think about food and healthy eating * DELICIOUS MAGAZINE * Witty, well-written and broad-ranging, littered with fascinating factoids and case studies. Spector thoughtfully explains the strengths and weaknesses of the available evidence, drawing on research on gut microbes as well as his long-running studies on the genetics of twins and his own often hilarious experiments with various diets * NEW YORK TIMES * Combining...fast-paced science with medical self-help...[A] model of clear, accessible and entertaining science writing * FINANCIAL TIMES * It's not often that a book changes my life in a mere three chapters...given my usual reluctance to jump on any nutritional bandwagon, I reckon this makes Tim Spector's work a rather compelling read. It's truly eye-opening stuff, and we owe it to ourselves and the 100 trillion friends inside our bodies to read this book -- Felicity Cloake * LITERARY REVIEW * I don't read diet books and I certainly never plug them, but The Diet Myth is a worthy exception that provides new insight into why we should think twice about what we put in our mouths -- Dr Mark Porter * THE TIMES * Tim Spector carefully explains that we are NOT what we eat, but rather that our trillions of microbial inhabitants have a thing or two to say. Lucidly written, The Diet Myth provides a first-class education about the conjunction of our microbes and our health -- Martin Blaser, author of MISSING MICROBES Ground-breaking -- Bee Wilson The Diet Myth is fascinating, and I'm now obsessed with microbes! -- Nigella Lawson Completely fascinating -- Sheila Dillon A fascinating and original look at the impact of food on our bodies underpinned by cutting-edge research -- Michael Mosley
