Product Description

Product Description

You counted your calories, carefully, just like they taught you. Your reward? Hunger, misery, failure.

Why isn't the "eat less exercise more" approach working?

Maybe no one has actually said something uncouth to you, like "where's your self control?" But you can feel the subtle judgments.

You want to scream back: "Look, I've done exactly what's been asked of me. I'm starving. And I have no energy. But if you look at my weight loss journal, you can see the facts for yourself. I HAVE been eating less and exercising more. And it's just not working."

Even with all this proof, many STILL wouldn't believe you.

So what's going on?

Well, there are two possibilities:

1) Perhaps the doubters are right: it somehow is your fault. Sure, you've been depriving yourself. But maybe you haven't been depriving yourself enough.

2) Or perhaps the mainstream advice about dieting is somehow misguided.

That second possibility sounds like a stretch. But it could very well be that all of us, struggling dieters and obesity experts alike, have been making incorrect assumptions about what it takes to lose excess fat.

Furthermore, these wrong assumptions could be at the root of why you and so
many millions of others are struggling, even though you've been doing exactly what you've been told.

In "It's Overstoring, Not Overeating!" Yale University educated independent investigator, Adam Kosloff, explains why fat loss is often way more complicated than what the "just eat less" gurus tell us.

Inspired by the work of award winning science writer, Gary Taubes, author of the best-sellers "Good Calories, Bad Calories" and "Why We Get Fat: And What
to Do About It," Kosloff introduces a fascinating, novel way to think about obesity: a model he calls "The Black Box."

The gist is: obesity is, at its core, a problem of storing too much fat in the cells of our fat tissue. Therefore, to stop obesity, or reverse it, we need to repair the biochemical forces that regulate the fat tissue itself. How much we eat and exercise can, of course, play a role. But diet and exercise only matter insofar as they change how our bodies regulate fat storage and fat burning.

Our obsession with "overeating" is misplaced, in other words. We need to worry, instead, about what makes us "overstore" fat. This leads to different questions… and different (and more helpful) answers.

Those who really understand this idea often enjoy a sea change of positive results. Within a month of "getting" this concept, Kosloff personally lost 15 pounds, and he's kept the weight off effortlessly since. And his experience is common!

Indeed, this "lightbulb moment" may be the closest thing to legitimate magic that exists, as far as fat loss is concerned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of info 12 Oct 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
This book contains a huge amount of info. There is a lot (and I really do mean a lot) of info to digest in this informative, interesting and thought-provoking book.

If you have always tried to lose weight with standard diets and not had the success you had hoped then maybe this book has the answer, or answers, you have been looking for. It is not a one solution fixes all type of diet book but looks at a wide range of aspects to diets to give you the tools to make a difference with your weight loss.

The book refers to 're-framing' how you look at dieting to see the real reason why you are not losing weight. Rather than simply eat less and exercise more mentality, the book delves deeper to give you a better understanding and various aspects to concentrate on.

2.0 out of 5 stars Overstated Claptrap 8 Nov 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
I was extremely disappointed with this very long and boring missive which in fact repeated over and over again so many obvious facts. In my opinion it never came to a conclusion that was definitive and therefore not worth the effort of reading it.

3.0 out of 5 stars interesting but...... 26 Oct 2012
By jogill
loads of thought provoking info which made me appreciate the complexity of our body and see how calorie counting must be way too simple to explain weight gain or loss. however i got to the end and found myself wanting more of an answer. this book is great for asking quesions but at the end i was no clearer on what i should do to fix my black box problem. i need to know what to change in my diet now.
