Ever wondered why so many fad diets end in total failure? Or why some of us gain weight so much more easily, or lose weight with almost no effort at all? The answer, according to Professor Tim Spector, is that we are all (literally) made of different stuff. Microbes, constantly working away inside us, have far more say in our cycle of weight gain (or weight loss) than diet or exercise. Understanding how and why these microorganisms affect us could have revolutionary results for the way we see ourselves and live our lives. For more books check out our collection here at designist.
