Synopsis "Quema: Los Descubrimientos Revolucionarios Sobre El Metabolismo, El Peso Y La Salud (in Spanish)"

Energy is the currency of life; without it, we die. And yet we continue to misunderstand how our metabolism works, and therefore we develop diets, exercise programs and strategies that end up failing in our attempts to lose weight. Drawing on his fieldwork with the Hadza of Tanzania and his study of primate evolution, Herman Pontzer explains how our bodies developed a great capacity to store energy to protect against periods of scarcity and famine. This book dives into how diet and physical activity affect our weight, and how our modern sedentary, overeating lifestyles have had disastrous consequences for our health. You'll never think about food and exercise the same way again.

Herman Pontzer es profesor de Antropología Evolutiva y Salud Global en la Universidad de Duke, especializado en bioenergética humana y evolución. Obtuvo su doctorado en Antropología Biológica en Harvard y ha realizado investigaciones de campo con comunidades de cazadores-recolectores como los hadza en Tanzania. Su trabajo ha sido destacado en medios como The New York Times, BBC y Scientific American. ​

Es autor del libro Quema: Los descubrimientos revolucionarios sobre el metabolismo, el peso y la salud (2021), donde expone su modelo de gasto energético diario restringido, desafiando la idea de que más ejercicio equivale a más calorías quemadas. En 2025, publicó Adaptable: How Your Unique Body Really Works and Why Our Biology Unites Us, explorando cómo la evolución influye en nuestra salud actual. Sus obras combinan ciencia evolutiva y divulgación, aportando una perspectiva innovadora sobre metabolismo y salud.

Venia buscando un libro serio, científico sobre el metabolismo, no dietas de moda ni experiencias de gordos que bajaron de peso, por fin lo encontré, recomendado. He aprendido mucho sobre como funciona el gasto energético en humanos.
