Please watch the CrossFit Journal article “Why We Get Fat” by Gary Taubes.  Taubes is the author of, # 100mg in my opinion, # 60mg the best book on nutrition available, try “Good Calories, Bad Calories” (GCBC).  Taubes recently wrote “Why We Get Fat“, which I have not read.  GCBC is a science book about nutrition, and he is not selling a diet; merely presenting his hypothesis on the western diet.  It identifies what he believes (and so do many CrossFitters) on the mistakes of the science world: the reliance on processed carbohydrates as a food source/reaction to cholesterol and heart disease and more.  I believe “Why We Get Fat” presents the same argument as GCBC, but does so in a less science heavy manner, much like Michael Pollan’s books: The Omnivore’s Dilemma and it’s smaller version, In Defense of Food.
