A historical argument about carbohydrates and weight

Richard Mackarness challenges calorie-focused explanations of obesity and sets out a “Stone Age” diet centered on protein and fat, with no stated limit on the amount eaten. The book attributes weight gain to the body’s handling of sugars and starches, presenting this as an alternative explanation for why some people gain weight while others do not. Its subject is diet therapy, and its claims are presented here as Mackarness’s account rather than current medical guidance.

Book overview

Dr. Richard Mackarness book exposed the "calorie fallacy" and proposed a non-carbohydrate "Stone Age" diet of protein and fat with no restriction as to the amount eaten.
OBESITY IS always fatiguing and always a great strain on the body. It is not due to greed but, as Dr. Mackarness so clearly explains in this book, to a little-understood difficulty in the economy of the body which makes it turn sugars and starches into fat instead of promptly using them to give energy, as do the people who remain normal in weight.
