Why We Get Fat

Gary Taubes's Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It — a nutritional science toolkit that challenges the conventional "calories in, calories out" model and presents the carbohydrate-insulin hypothesis: that hormonal regulation (especially insulin), not caloric balance, controls body fat — and what to do about it. Covers 6 use cases: ① Understanding the Carbohydrate-Insulin Hypothesis — why we really get fat ("What causes obesity" "Is it really calories") ② Rethinking Diet Conventional Wisdom — debunking the myths ("Why diets fail" "Calories in vs calories out") ③ Making Sense of Nutrition Science — separating real evidence from propaganda ("How to read nutrition research" "Who funded that study") ④ Applying Low-Carb Principles — what to eat and what to avoid ("What can I actually eat" "Carbs to eliminate") ⑤ Understanding Insulin's Role — the master regulator ("How insulin works" "Why sugar is different") ⑥ Navigating Weight Maintenance — living without regaining ("How to keep weight off" "Long-term strategies") Trigger when users say: "Why can't I lose weight" "What causes obesity" "Is sugar bad" "Low carb diet" "Keto explained" "Insulin and weight" "Calories vs hormones" "Why we get fat" "Gary Taubes" "Carbohydrate insulin hypothesis" "Why diets don't work" or mention: Gary Taubes / Why We Get Fat / carbohydrate-insulin hypothesis / insulin / low-carb / ketogenic / Good Calories Bad Calories / sugar / refined carbohydrates / obesity / nutrition science / hormonal theory of obesity / fat storage / metabolic syndrome. Also triggers when the user says they just installed this skill or doesn't know how to start — the AI MUST proactively present the Quick Start guide below.
