Although calories are essential to human health and survival, they cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted. They are also hard to understand. In Why Calories Count, Marion Nestle and Malden Nesheim explain in clear and accessible language what calories are and how they work, both biologically and politically. As they take readers through the issues that are fundamental to our understanding of diet and food, weight gain, loss, and obesity, Nestle and Nesheim sort through a great deal of the misinformation put forth by food manufacturers and diet program promoters. They elucidate the political stakes and show how federal and corporate policies have come together to create an "eat more" environment. Finally, having armed readers with the necessary information to interpret food labels, evaluate diet claims, and understand evidence as presented in popular media, the authors offer some candid advice: Get organized. Eat less. Eat better. Move more. Get political.California studies in food and culture ;33.FoodCaloric contentFood consumptionbody mental health.books for healthy people.cooking.dieting.easy to read.educational books.evaluating diets.food and culture books.food in media.how many calories should i consume.how to be healthier.how to count calories.how to gain weight.how to lose weight.how to stay healthy.improving quality of food.interpreting food labels.keto.learning from experts.low carb diets.nutrition reference.nutritional health.obesity.researched theories.simple approaches.what is a good body weight.FoodCaloric content.Food consumption.613.2613.23Nestle Marion1463301Nesheim Malden C1478758MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779080203321Why calories count3694564UNINA
