This has been a very ADHD summer of starting a bunch of books and never finishing one... until now! I guess what I needed was some compelling nonfiction and Taubes delivered. He made the endocrinology of nutrition easy to understand and actionable.

Doing a quick reread of some healthy eating kinda books today. I fell off the healthy food wagon when my mom died and I've been struggling to get back on. I'm hoping to be inspired. It's time to be me again.

Natasha.C.Barnes I hate how hard it is--and how hard it is to stay body-positive while also trying to lose weight! I gained a lot finishing my thesis and I'm trying to slowly start fitting into my clothes again...we'll see, baby steps! Good luck and be kind to yourself. ❤️ 7y
Natasha.C.Barnes And I'm sorry about your mom. That has to be one of the hardest things to go through. 7y

JacqMac @Natasha.C.Barnes Thanks. It has been two years and I just find it out of control. And now that the weather is colder, my pants are too tight. That's a sure sign that it's time to fix things. lol 7y
JacqMac @MicheleinPhilly @LauraBeth One meal at a time. 😊😘 7y

Just started this, only in the introduction so far and I love this guy's approach. Slowly the tides are turning about nutrition and health.

Laura317 I'm interested to see your review. 8y
