What we've been told about our diet has been all wrong. In fact, diet culture can actually drive up your weight in the long-term.

For over two decades, weight loss surgeon Dr Andrew Jenkinson has treated thousands of people who have become trapped in the endless cycle of dieting. Combining case studies from his practice and the new science of metabolism, Why We Eat (Too Much) debunks the great myths of the body, and systematically explains why dieting is counter-productive. An unflinching book, it investigates every aspect of nutrition, including:

1. The difference between good and bad fats
2. 'Set weight points' that are unique to everyone
   
   3. The impact of genes and genetic mutation on our weight

3. What happens to our hormones long after a diet ends

   It's time to put an end to the confusion and understand our bodies better than ever before.
