"A well-researched, comprehensive guide on the increasing global problem of obesity" - Allan Spencer, Biochemist and Author Are the bathroom scales your companion or enemy? Why do so many of us struggle with our weight? Why do we, as a nation, fail to tackle our health crisis? In this seminal work Kathryn Bullock calls upon her personal experience of regaining her health, by eating differently, stabilising her weight, and changing her lifestyle. After years of meticulous, in-depth research, Kathryn debunks some of the historic food science. She explains why food matters and what we can do about our global health crisis. Discover: · Why fibre matters in our diet. · Why counting calories is not the best way to approach eating. · Why some types of food are more harmful and addictive than others. · Why plant diversity is important. · Why the glycaemic index of foods matters. · Why we can’t rely on the food industry to keep us healthy. · What other countries are doing about solving their obesity crises. · How community effort, AI, and technology can together, help us to make the right food choices. Whether you’re battling weight issues, or supporting those who are, reading this book can prove to be a turning point in lifestyle and food choices for you, and your community.
