—— Vogue

Debunks the myths around dieting and weight-loss

—— Telegraph

A refreshing antidote to junk public health diet advice. The current epidemic of obesity and diet-related disease is a legacy of catastrophic public health advice based on flimsy science. Dr Jenkinson takes-down this failed paradigm and replaces it with sensible, workable advice that reflects the sanity of new-wave nutrition thinking. Articulate, clear, a joy to read, this is a book that really needed written

—— Joanna Blythman, author of 'Swallow This'

Will engross anyone who has ever struggled with dieting, but you don't have to want to lose weight to read it ... If you do this then 2020 might be the year that you learn to understand your body

—— Telegraph Weekend

Dr Jenkinson wants solutions because he knows how recent and overwhelming the global weight problem is ... His key insight is that weight isn't chosen by our conscious mind. Our bodies are designed to keep our weight at a set point ... His message is for individuals wanting help, not industry or government, who may block their ears. It's one of enjoyment, not deprivation, summed up by "eat more, rest more" ... He promises no incredible solutions, no drastic fat loss, no scourging or short-term January misery, just a gradual improvement in metabolic health, weight and wellbeing over months and years. I hope he's listened to

—— Jenni Russell, The Times

Distilling what he has learned over decades of practice [...] in his book, Mr Jenkinson says a far better approach is to ditch the quick-fix solution in favour of an old-fashioned approach'

Euny Hong just taught me what I what I really want to be when I grow up: a nunchi ninja!

This book is full of Megan's tasty food that will take care of your body and mind

You present all this information in a really accessible way, which is why everyone loves you so much

I'm a huge admirer of Orsola and her work. I love this book's mindful approach to looking after our clothes, giving us the tools to love them for longer and show respect to the people who made them

—— Venetia La Manna 'Slow fashion campaigner, broadcaster and co-founder of Remember Who Made Them'

Hands down Academic Couture. Loved Clothes Last is a beautifully constructed and eloquently written masterpiece. Orsola weaves the importance of the cultural influence of the fashion industry, how it's destroyed us and how it can save us with the economic and environmental impact on people and planet, the beauty of buttons and how to darn a sock, she successfully interlaces "why we wear" with "why we should care

—— Patrick Duffy

Orsola represents both radical grace and graceful radicalness. This book is a super inspiring how to guide for all of us that want to emulate her

—— Alice Jay, activist and conservationist
