Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
The Dopamine Diet by Tom Kerridge offers a unique approach to low-carb dieting that focuses on boosting dopamine, the 'happy hormone,' to make weight loss enjoyable and sustainable. Kerridge shares recipes rich in protein, fresh fruit and vegetables, and his favourite 'hero ingredients' like yoghurt, meat, and even chocolate. By cutting out alcohol and starchy carbs, the diet promotes meals such as spinach, bacon and mint soup, shepherd’s pie with cauliflower topping, and chocolate mousse with sesame almond biscuits—tasty dishes that don’t feel like diet food.

How to do a low-carb diet with MAXIMUM flavour

Most people find it hard to keep to a long-term diet, but this one is different. The recipes feature ingredients that trigger the release of the 'happy hormone' dopamine in your brain, so it’s a diet that will make you feel good!

Thanks to this approach, Tom Kerridge lost 11 stone in 3 years. His ‘hero ingredients’ for happiness include yoghurt, meat and even chocolate. By ditching alcohol and starchy carbs in favour of plenty of protein, fresh fruit and veg, you will be eating meals that will help you shed the weight but also taste amazing.

Great meals for Dopamine Dieters include spinach, bacon and mint soup; roasted onion salad with fried halloumi; shepherd’s pie with creamy cauliflower topping; soy glazed cod with chilli, garlic and ginger; braised beef with horseradish; Chinese pork hot pot; and chocolate mousse with sesame almond biscuits. Recipes that don't feel like diet food, and you can share with friends and family.

It worked for Tom, and it can work for you. Give it a go! And lose weight the Dopamine Diet way.

About the Author

Tom Kerridge worked as a chef in restaurants across Britain before he and his wife Beth opened The Hand & Flowers in Marlow in 2005. Nine years and two Michelin stars later, he opened a second pub just down the road, The Coach, which was followed by The Butcher’s Tap. Most recently, he and his core team have launched Kerridge’s Bar & Grill, which is housed in Corinthia London, and The Bull & Bear in Manchester. Tom is a much-loved TV personality and a bestselling author of seven cookbooks. He lives in Marlow.
