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.

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.
