This is an impressive work that challenges modern energy (calorie) reduction diets, with a biological paradigm. Taubes does a good job not only supporting his logic but also in defending it.

Pete Why We Get Fat is the reader's digest version of Good Calories Bad Calories.

Aron I was hoping it was more like a sequel or an expansion. Writing a lighter version of GCBC was probably a smart move, though. I've gotten four people to start reading it and none have even come close to finishing it.
