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.

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

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
