What we've been told about our diet has been all wrong. In fact, diet culture can actually drive up your weight in the long-term.
For over two decades, weight loss surgeon Dr Andrew Jenkinson has treated thousands of people who have become trapped in the endless cycle of dieting. Combining case studies from his practice and the new science of metabolism, Why We Eat (Too Much) debunks the great myths of the body, and systematically explains why dieting is counter-productive. An unflinching book, it investigates every aspect of nutrition, including:
1. The difference between good and bad fats
2. 'Set weight points' that are unique to everyone
3. The impact of genes and genetic mutation on our weight
4. What happens to our hormones long after a diet ends
It's time to put an end to the confusion and understand our bodies better than ever before.

This book is so interesting and empowering. Everyone should know and understand how their appetite works. I followed Mr Andrew Jenkinson's plan and I have been delighted with the results. Three months in and my weight is stable. Such an empowering feeling to know that my body is functioning as it should. I would highly recommend the publisher, or author, set up a platform for enthusiasts to share their findings and questions. The more knowledge available to the layman, the better.
