Titles in the Set: Fat ChanceWhy We Eat Too Much Science of Appetite

Fat Chance — Dr. Robert Lustig

In Fat Chance, Dr Robert Lustig makes a compelling, science-based case that sugar is a major driver of chronic disease and obesity. He explains why conventional low-fat advice falls short and why the old rule “calories in, calories out” is an oversimplification. Drawing on decades of metabolic research, Lustig shows how processed foods loaded with sugar and additives disrupt hormonal signals that regulate appetite and fat storage. Readers will learn:

  • Why not all calories are metabolically equal
  • How sugar can promote illness even in people who aren’t overweight
  • Why skipping meals or short-term calorie restriction often leads to rebound weight gain

Why We Eat (Too Much) — Dr. Andrew Jenkinson

Why We Eat (Too Much) combines case studies from weight loss surgeon Dr Andrew Jenkinson’s clinical practice with up-to-date research on metabolism and appetite regulation. Jenkinson explores the concept of a personal “set weight point,” the role of genetics and hormones, and why repeated dieting can permanently alter the body’s metabolic responses. This book dismantles common myths about food and weight, covering topics such as good vs. bad fats, how genes affect hunger, and what happens to hormones after dieting ends.
