The formula for weight loss is simple: expend more calories than you consume. But for those struggling with obesity, it might not be so simple. Dr. George Schauf challenges conventional thinking when it comes to fighting against overweight problems in his book, The Calorie Conspiracy. This self-described “part-expose, part self-helf book” introduces a concept that seeks to provide a viable long-term alternative to traditional caloric theory.

According to Dr. Schauf and the scientific evidence he has studied, combating obesity is more than just counting calories or using up more calories than you consume in a day. His technique called QQF stands for quality, quantity, and frequency. Dr. Schauf argues that what you eat, how much of it you eat, and how often you eat it has major effects in your ability to lose weight. His book is an attempt to improve the rising obesity rates in the nation.

The book also discusses how improper weight loss diets can have adverse effects on the amount of vital tissue in the body. Another topic of discussion is the Never After Breakfast Theory. All in all, this book seeks to challenge the conventional weight loss methods that are predominant in the market today. If you want to read about something new, this book can help you do just that.
