EatÃÂ Fat,ÃÂ GetÃÂ ThinÃÂ is a science-driven nutrition and diet book that addresses dietaryÃÂ fatÃÂ and how it impacts the body. By debunking long-held beliefs aboutÃÂ fat, the book explains why fats are a crucial part of weight loss and any healthy diet. It offers readers a roadmap to incorporate more healthy fats into their daily routines.
Over the past century, a number of scientists have promoted research that supposedly proved that theÃÂ fatÃÂ people consume is theÃÂ fatÃÂ that ends up on their bodies. The US government, national health organizations, and the food industry picked up on these assumptions, and an anti-fatÃÂ movement was born. This gave rise to an entire industry of low-fatÃÂ ÃÂdietÃÂ foods. In the meantime, however, citizens of the United States grew more obese and developed more chronic diseases, particularly heart disease and diabetes.ÃÂ
