FAB RESEARCH COMMENT:

The author of this new book is an NHS consultant specialising in obesity - and the diet that this book outlines has already been shown to work in clinical practice. See:


In essence, it involves eating 'real food' - and avoiding ultra-processed foods (which are high in sugar and refined carbs and unhealthy fats; low in dietary fibre and many essential nutrients; and contain numerous artificial chemical additives).  

The underlying scientific principles behind this diet are the same ones spelled out by Professor Robert Lustig, who first flagged that high insulin - and 'insulin resistance' - is a major factor in maintaining obesity. Because high insulin promotes fat storage, preventing many of the calories consumed from being available to 'burn' for energy. See:


Extensive evidence now shows that diets high in ultra-processed foods both promote and maintain obesity - by feeding the metabolic problems that contribute to this, as well as to Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

And a rigorous randomised controlled trial showed that a diet of ultra-processed vs 'real' food led to weight gain of almost one kilogram in just 2 weeks - owing to the overeating that this caused. See:
