Jul 21, Lynn rated it it was amazing Shelves: health. This book is not only a science book as it suggests. It's also a common sense approach to a healthy and tasty lifestyle. The author explains the science and nutritional basics for the reasons to eat this way. It's easy to understand and the recipes are not overwhelming. The author, Dee McCaffrey, explains in detail how the food industry has used chemistry science to dupe the public into thinking they were eating better, enriched food while reaping huge profits.
We have been lied to for decades This book is not only a science book as it suggests. We have been lied to for decades and bombarded with slick, misleading ads since the 's. This book makes a lot of sense and explains the real meanings of the misleading labels on food and how to decipher what they actually say.
I highly recommend this book, if you are interested in a healthier eating lifestyle. May 09, Nancy rated it it was ok Shelves: non-fiction , owned , read-in , cookbooks , to-read-in It took me a long time to read this book, with a couple of false starts. Although the author tries to make the science accessible, to me it was still difficult and too technical. I learned a lot, with many highlighted sections and dog-earred pages, including some recipes.
However, I doubt that I will strictly follow Dee's plans. I will, however, be more diligent about reading labels and will strive to continue to improve my eating habits which I don't think are THAT bad! The Science of Skinny It took me a long time to read this book, with a couple of false starts.
The Science of Skinny is a good reference, as well. Jul 11, Autumn Banning rated it it was amazing. This book is sadly mis-titled! Jan 05, Ashley rated it it was amazing.
This book contains a wealth of scientific knowledge and resources about food. I have been on my own health journey for about 15 years and consider myself to be quite knowledgeable about diet and nutrition.
Yet, I learned so much reading this! Jul 22, Lori rated it it was ok. I thought the information about avoiding processed food was very good. I follow Dr. Greger and nutritionfscts.

I changed some of my habits immediately as a result of reading this book, I've recommended it, and I gave away my "marked" copy to a dear friend! Sep 18, Mello rated it it was amazing. Great information that I didn't know we knew in While "Skinny" doesn't resonate with me, most of the book content did.

This one was a bit Not quite sure what to think, although several sections will be useful for reference. Aug 13, Kate Efron rated it it was amazing. The title of this book is misleading. Though it does offer diet suggestions, the infinitely more interesting and vital information on refined sugar as a carcinogen was more profound and life-changing than the term "diet" denotes. This book reveals the truth about sugar's deadly health risks that are swept under the rug by American health associations.
Its existence stands up to, and conquers, a health system corroded by corporations. Everyone should read this book. Feb 26, Rodan rated it really liked it. As an engineer I can't simply follow someone's advice and trust in a promised result. The doctor said avoid salt and coffee to lower your blood pressure, but when I ask how or why that will help, they don't have time or patience, or knowledge to explain. While eating pizza rolls and drinking beer, one night, I decided I needed to get a better understanding of how the body processes the food if I was ever going to eat better.
I needed the "how" to make the connection. This book was purchased on K As an engineer I can't simply follow someone's advice and trust in a promised result. This book was purchased on Kindle under the influence, and I had no idea how useful it would turn out. Products claiming to be fat free may not have any fat in them, but often have more sugar in them than the regular version of that item.
This is particularly true of fat free salad dressings. Gluten-free products notoriously contain white rice flour, which is a refined carbohydrate that negatively impacts blood sugar levels the same as refined wheat flour. In The Science of Skinny I devoted a whole chapter on fats and oils to help readers understand the difference between a healthy fat and an unhealthy fat and debunk the conventional yet scientifically unfounded dogma that obesity, heart disease, and cancer are caused by excessive consumption of dietary fat.
Dietary fats are emphasized not just for their role as a necessary macronutrient, but also for their vital inner connective role in balancing hormones, absorbing vitamins and calcium, assimilating proteins, and strengthening the immune system.
Meats, poultry, fish, and dairy products, which have been a part of the human diet for many thousands of years without any health consequences, are now very unhealthy unless the animals have been fed their natural organic diets and are raised in healthy and humane conditions.
Animals fed grains rather than grass have unnaturally higher levels of saturated fat in their meat and less of the healthy omega-3 type fat. Farmed fish and animals raised in confined animal feeding operations are also fed antibiotics and hormones that have been linked to cancer and other chronic health problems in humans who consume them.
In The Science of Skinny Cookbook, I take readers to the next level by sharing my love for cooking and my deep passion for tasty food. When I sat down to write the cookbook, I knew that I wanted it to be more than just a collection of healthy recipes.
