The answer to the question “Why we get fat?” can be answered in the superficial and wrong way - “Because you eat too much” - or it can be answered in the literal, medical sense - “Because your fat cells are getting fat”. Whereas the first approach has jumped to the conclusion, the latter begs for follow up inquiry. Following that line of investigation leads to some really important discussions.

If you’re really interested in getting my attention, the phrase “Do the exact opposite” is a good place to start. Now it’s not just enough to say it. There needs to be a lot to back up that statement. But on the rare occasions when there actually is great support for it, that sentence has led me down some really incredible paths. The most recent path has led me to a complete rethink of everything I know about fitness. And in this case, it wasn’t a person that told me I was doing everything backwards. It was a book.
