The Hungry Gene takes an unflinching look at the spreading obesity pandemic, guiding readers through the ongoing quest to unravel the genetic and behavioral basis of one of the most vexing scientific mysteries of our time. Acclaimed science journalist Ellen Ruppel Shell goes to the front lines of the struggle against fat -- from the quiet facility in Maine where the first superobese mice were bred more than thirty years ago, to Rockefeller University in New York where scientists worked around the clock to isolate the gene that causes obesity.

Dieting is hard for most of us, downright impossible for a few. We can all use a little help from some detailed information, and the words of wisdom found in a good book. With a specific medical condition we need to know as much as possble about the condition, so our diet will be a help rather than a hindrance.
Merely trying to lose weight is hard enough. Losing weight while staying healthy and happy is even harder. But I know it's possible. The Hungry Gene: The Science of Fat and the Future of Thin by Ellen Ruppel Shell can help.
