Burn: New Research Blows the Lid Off How We Really Burn Calories, Lose Weight, and Stay Healthy by Herman Pontzer

challenging informative medium-paced

5.0

Super interesting book about metabolism, energy, and society. I loved the anthropological/evolutionary perspective; it's so much more insightful than the modern POV which prioritizes weight loss. (Which, yes, the subtitle of the book does include, but I believe that's more of a marketing tool than reflective of the goal of the book.)

I found out about this book through Ologies. Thanks Alie!

I'll copy paste some notes from DMs later
