Or so Taubes concludes, and given the research he's done (and my personal experience with low-carb vs. high-carb lifestyles) I'm inclined to agree.

I believe that book was JUST featured in Reader's Digest. Sounds interesting. I think what ultimately makes us fat is what makes us human... laziness. If I still had to hike up mountains to kill a single deer for me and my family, I'd probably be ripped!

Just realized that I posted about 2 years late on this...saw the January and made an incorrect assumption. :-) Still recommend Taubes' books, tho. Perhaps I need another book on reading dates more carefully. D’oh! Just realized that I posted about 2 years late on this…saw the January and made an incorrect assumption. :-)

Taubes has done deep research into the research that's been done on exercise, diet, and how each impacts our weight, metabolism, etc. Taubes is convinced, based on the evidence, that switching to a low-carb regimen (not a diet...we're talking a life-long change here) is the key to not just losing weight, but improving your health. The bad news is that his research didn't show much correlation between exercise and long-term weight loss...exercise is great for general fitness, and will make you look and feel better, but apparently won't do much for weight loss over the long term. Just some food for thought. Once you've concluded your intake experiment, consider taking a look at one of Taubes' books (or even at Atkins' book, which has been around for decades). He does a good job of connecting the dots on *why* refined carbs are problematic, and why just eating less doesn't solve the problem long-term. Good luck! Making the decision to change is an important first step!

I have never had the guts to post every meal, but I think that is a great idea. I'm adding a *little* bit of additional exercise to my routine this month. Good luck with the challenge!
