The Energetics of Food

Hi everybody!

I am learning about this topic along with everyone else.

And to further that learning, I just got a book called The Energetics of Food.

I'll be sharing some of the insights from this book as I go.  Here is what it says on the back of the book:

... even though we live in a culture with sophisticated technology with seemingly unlimited resources for learning, we still don't know how to eat or how to manage this most primary relationship.  Rooted in the traditions of our ancestors and the commonsense philosophy that founded the natural healing modalities of traditional peoples the world over, Energetics of Food will change the way you perceive food and nutrition.

The author Steve Gagne is also a teacher at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York.  ( I looked into their program to become a IN counselor and it costs $9000 - a little steep for my pocketbook right now)

Sounds like an interesting book! I look forward to learning about this along with you!!

Just an update.

I haven't read that book yet. 

I started reading another book (Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes) and didn't get back to Energetics - but I'm rededicating myself to learning.  So I hope I can post to this thread at least weekly about the topics I'm reading about.

Hi ! I'm new. I've studied, on my own, whole food, nutrition and such,  now I have to apply what I've learned. I want to lose 209 lbs-gasp, I know. I also want to learn more.

Did you ever get round to reading the book?  Did it change your view on food and nutrition the world over?
