Fat Chance by Robert H. Lustig Book Summary

New York Times Bestseller

Robert Lustig’s 90-minute YouTube video “Sugar: The Bitter Truth”, has been viewed more than three million times. Now, in this much anticipated book, he documents the science and the politics that has led to the pandemic of chronic disease over the last 30 years.

In the late 1970s when the government mandated we get the fat out of our food, the food industry responded by pouring more sugar in. The result has been a perfect storm, disastrously altering our biochemistry and driving our eating habits out of our control.

To help us lose weight and recover our health, Lustig presents personal strategies to readjust the key hormones that regulate hunger, reward, and stress; and societal strategies to improve the health of the next generation. Compelling, controversial, and completely based in science, Fat Chance debunks the widely held notion to prove “a calorie is NOT a calorie”, and takes that science to its logical conclusion to improve health worldwide.

Fat chance. A brilliant book on what is the most important public policy issue of our generation. Everyone needs to read this book.

Highly recommended. This book is a page turner. This should be obligate reading for everyone in America.

A must read for anyone who would like life long health.. Incredible book, a must read to truly understand how foods affect your weight, health and how your body reacts to them, the best weapon anyone who is struggling with weight loss can have in their arsenal. To learn more about the book listen to the author's Diane Rehm interview on NPR.

Learned a ton from this book. I’ve always struggled with my eating habits starting from my mid20s on. I’ve tried all the diets and they’ve worked for short term success but this book taught me that in order to achieve real success with health is to eat whole foods with lots and lots of fiber. The author then goes into detail about how the government is not doing anything about this predicament. Real change needs to occur in order to stop metabolic syndrome and many diseases associated with sugar and processed foods.

I wish this was required reading in school. Finally a book about food that isn't only opinion, observation, or "it worked for me so it'll work for everyone." I appreciate Lustig's clear use of peer-reviewed science and simple admissions when he writes his opinion. This book has made me far more passionate about controlling my food environment and the environment of those I love. What's happening to our general population is sad and sickening. This book is a step in the right direction.

.... The diagnosis and approach described by Lustig has been a life saver for me. By reducing sugar and processed carbs and increasing exercise, I have reversed metabolic syndrome when my doctors had nothing to offer other than statins and other drugs to treat symptoms. Almost everything about Lustig's take on the science rings very true to my personal experience. I have gone from weight 250+ cholesterol 250, good cholesterol 35 triglycerides 350+, fatty liver disease and very high liver enzymes to weight 215, chol 180, good chol 50, triglycerides <180, and liver back to normal.

Detailed...but no smoking gun.. Anybody who has ever done the low carb diet will probably leave this book with a better understanding of the science of what they were doing but will ultimately probably feel deprived of anything fresh minus the great leptin info. Great science, great delivery, but nothing new. Take home is sugar drives insulin, insulin drives fat storage. Lower insulin, you lower your weight.

Extremely interesting. It's a must-read. (However, it could have done with an extra round of proofreading.)

The truth in plain view. This book explains many truths that I’d started to suspect: juice makes me fat, why acutally too much alcohol is bad. But more importantly it ties all together eg lactose sugar is ok , fructose is not : mix your carbs with fibre to neutralize them. Also I’m lucky, I get to live in Thailand. I knew the diet there was not kiling me. Now I know why. Fresh markets, meats and vegetables.. lots of rice (bad) but there is lots of fibre is taken simultaneously. Wow, wow. How can I be 51 years old and have just heard this for the first time?
