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' * Mail on Sunday *
