The 21st Century is Making You Fat by Pat Thomas challenges the traditional belief that weight gain is solely due to overeating and lack of exercise. This thought-provoking health and wellness book explores how modern environmental and social factors—such as pollution, stress, and chemical-laden products—contribute to rising obesity levels. Thomas presents compelling evidence that everyday exposures can disrupt metabolism, hormones, and appetite regulation, making weight management more complex than calorie counting alone.
The book highlights how processed foods, sedentary lifestyles driven by technology, and even household items containing endocrine-disrupting chemicals create an environment that encourages weight gain. Thomas argues that tackling obesity requires a broader approach, addressing not just personal habits but also external influences that undermine health.
While not part of a series, this insightful guide offers practical steps to reduce environmental triggers and create a healthier lifestyle. Ideal for readers frustrated by conventional weight-loss advice, it provides a refreshing perspective on why modern life itself may be the biggest obstacle to staying slim.
