DESCRIPTION:Calorie counting has become a pervasive part of the weight loss
  industry. As consumers\, we encounter calories on our food labels and rest
 aurant menus\, and we often treat these numbers as gospel\, obsessively cou
 nting and cutting to reach some magical threshold. But what if there is mor
 e to the story than just a calorie?\n\nIn this practical and entertaining w
 ebinar\, you will learn how the science challenges this conventional model 
 and why all calories are not created equal. We will explore why popular die
 ts seem to succeed in the short term but ultimately fail\, and what your en
 vironment has to do with your bodyweight. By gaining a deeper\, science-bas
 ed understanding of your food and metabolism\, you can consider the decisio
 ns you make about what you choose to eat by learning what you really need t
 o be counting instead.\n\nThis class will be recorded and a one-week link t
 o the recording will be shared with all registered participants. Attend the
  live session or listen to the recording within one week to receive incenti
 ve points.\n\nRequest disability accommodations and access info.\n\nInstruc
 tor: Giles Yeo\, PhD\, earned his degree from the University of Cambridge a
 nd has 20 years of experience studying the genetics of obesity and brain co
 ntrol of food intake\, currently focusing on the influence of genes on our 
 feeding behavior and bodyweight. He is also a broadcaster and the author of
  two books\, Gene Eating and Why Calories Don’t Count.\n\nClass details are
  subject to change.
