Summary:
"Investigative journalist Barry Estabrook was often on the receiving end of his doctor'
s
scowl. Realizing he had two options -- take more medication or lose weight -- Estabrook chose the latter, but was paralyzed by the options. Which diet would keep the weight off? What program could he maintain over time? What diet
works
best -- or even at all? Over the course of three years, Estabrook tried the regimens behind the most popular diets of the past forty years -- from paleo, keto, gluten-free, and veganism to the Master Cleanse, Whole30, Atkins, Weight Watchers -- examining the people, claims, and science behind the fads, all while recording his mental and physical experience of following each
one
. Along the way, he discovered that all the branded programs are derived from
just
three diets. There are effective, scientifically valid takeaways to be cherry-picked...and the rest is
just
marketing. Perhaps most alarming, Estabrook uncovered how short-term weight loss can do long-term health damage that may go undetected for years. Estabrook contextualizes his reporting with an analysis of our culture'
s
bizarre dieting history, dating back to the late 1800s, to create a thorough -- and thoroughly entertaining -- look at what specific diets do to our bodies, why some are more effective than others, and why our relationship with food is so fraught."--Amazon.com
