Summary of Jonathan Bailor's The Calorie Myth

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview:

#1 The human body is a complex mathematical equation that is not reducible to a simple equation. It is not the lack of counting calories, pill popping, or insulin injections that is the problem. The problem is something breaking our biology, and we’re trying to starve, stress, and medicate to address its consequences instead of fixing the breakdown itself.

#2 There are three possible explanations for why we haven’t gained 476 pounds since 2006: we’re eating less, we’re exercising more, or the Calorie Math doesn’t add up.

#3 The math myth doesn’t work because it assumes our body doesn’t do anything to counterbalance our efforts to count calories. In reality, our genes, brain, and hormones work together to maintain balance, or homeostasis.

#4 The math myth is that we can lose weight by counting calories. However, this is completely false. We have automatically avoided 98 percent of the weight we should have gained according to calorie counting because our body is designed to balance us out automatically.
