I’ve always said the closer to nature your food the better.  It’s always better to choose foods that are unadulterated, natural and whole. The Science of Skinny: Start Understanding Your Body’s Chemistry–and Stop Dieting Forever  proves what I’ve thought all along and takes it one step further!  Dee McCaffrey worked with chemicals like sodium lauryl sulfate, but she never expected to find them in her beloved angel food cake mix.  After years of dieting and failing to loose weight she wondered if her chemical, processed food laden diet could be to blame for her battle of the bulge.

The Science of Skinny  details how we’ve replaced whole, natural foods with processed, synthetic ‘junk’ and how our bodies are chemically reacting to these foods with diseases ranging from obesity to arthritis.  McCaffrey who lost 100 lbs from her 4’10” frame (and kept it off) has dedicated her life to teaching others how to achieve a happy mind and a skinny body!

For years I was under the impression that eating fat made me fat.  So when I received The Science of Skinny  I immediately turned to Chapter 5; The Scientific Skinny on Fats and Oils.  I had no idea that everything I thought was true was all these lies.

MYTHS (and yes I believed ‘em all!)

• Eating fat makes you fat
• Canola oil is one of the healthiest oils for cooking
• Coconut oil is a dangerous saturate fat and needs to be avoided!
• Saturated fat and dietary cholesterol are the main cause of coronary heart disease
• Real butter clogs the arteries, so eat ‘healthy’ margarine instead.
• The cholesterol in egg yolks causes high cholesterol so we should only eat egg whites

Are you making food choices based on the above?  Me too!  The Science of Skinny  reveals the real scoop on fats and why you must eat fat to loose fat.

The Science of Skinny  includes: kick-start plans; guidelines for family- and kid-friendly meals; quick and delicious menus and more than 50 recipes; shopping lists and eating-on-the-go tips; easy fitness routines; and more to ease you into a processed-free life!
