The poor, misunderstood calorie: calories proper - Paperback

by William Lagakos Ph. D. (Author)

Counting calories to lose weight does not work for the majority of dieters. This happens, in part, because the calories in food are not the same as those expended by the body. This book is intended to explain this misperception, and function as a guide on energy balance and weight management for dieters, nutrition practitioners, and medical professionals.
