A myth-busting tour of the body's hidden foundations from a
pioneering evolutionary biologistWhy do so many diets lead to more
weight gain? Do more active people have faster metabolisms? Is
exercise essential for weight loss?Over the past twenty years,
evolutionary biologist Herman Ponzter has conducted ground-breaking
studies across a range of settings, including pioneering fieldwork
and Hadza hunter-gatherers in northern Tanzania. This book draws on
his eye-opening research to show how, contrary to received wisdom,
exercise does not increase our metabolism. Instead, we burn
calories within a very narrow range- nearly 3,000 calories per day,
no matter our activity level.By taking a closer look at what
happens to the energy we consume, Ponzter explores the ways in
which metabolism controls every aspect of our health - from
fertility to immune function - and reveals the truth about the
dynamic systems that sustains us. Filled with facts and memorable
anecdotes, Burn will change the way you think about food, exercise
and life.
