___________________________________________________________
A practical, accessible guide to understanding the diet myth and the secret to lasting weight loss.
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. Why We Eat (Too Much), combines case studies from his practice and the new science of metabolism to illuminate how our appetite really works.
Debunking the great myths of the body, and systematically explaining why dieting is counter-productive, this unflinching book investigates every aspect of nutrition. From the difference between good and bad fats to the impact of genes and genetic mutation on our weight and what happens to our hormones long after a diet ends, Dr Jenkinson explores the fields of agriculture, pharma, anthropology and medicine to uncover the truth behind our bad food habits and the escalating obesity crisis.
With a new chapter about the link between obesity and COVID-19, this incredible book will help you understand your body better than ever before.

Fascinating science … One of Britain’s top weight loss experts
ITV -
Cool, clear and highly persuasive … a radical approach to weight loss
Sunday Times -
I would recommend [it] to anyone trying to lose weight. I would also recommend [it] to those who struggle to be kind to people with obesity
The Times -
A compelling look at the science of appetite and metabolism
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'
