The life-changing science behind the UK's most successful weight-loss programme

We know more about our body and its relationship with food than ever before. But most people looking to lose weight follow the same advice that has been around for decades. Instead of serving the people who need to hear it most, so much of this effective weight-loss science has been confined to laboratories and scientific journals.

This book will change that.

Dr Saira Hameed distils the latest science of metabolism and appetite into clear, actionable advice. From choosing foods that keep us fuller for longer to understanding the vital connection between our gut and brain, The Full Diet will transform your health using cutting-edge science as a weight-loss tool.
