										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Use GLP-1s to their full capability to rewire your habits, shift mindsets, and keep the weight off for good. </strong></p>
<p><em>The Weight Loss Prescription</em> is the essential step-by-step guide on how to change your relationship with food whilst taking advantage of GLP-1 medications. Dr Max Pemberton and Dr Courtney Raspin explain the full process of using this life changing medication, detailing how to use them safely and correctly whilst doing the necessary psychological work for sustainable weight loss that&#8217;ll last even after you&#8217;ve taken your last dose.</p>
<p>Over 12 sessions you&#8217;ll learn how to take full advantage of the temporary silencing of food noise that GLP-1 medications provide. Through learning key skills and coping mechanisms, such as urge surfing and emotional regulation, you&#8217;ll be able to address how to maintain your progress, manage setbacks, and build habits that work with or without pharmaceutical support.</p>
<p>Dr Max and Dr Courtney will be your guiding voice as you use this medication, supporting you through starting medication and titration with the ultimate goals of confidence, strength, and food freedom off of GLP-1.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over 400 million people around the world have been diagnosed with diabetes. Before the discovery of insulin, diabetes was treated through diet, from eating purely meat to the reliance on fats, and repeated fasting. After two centuries of conflicting medical advice, most authorities today believe that those with diabetes can have the same dietary freedom enjoyed by the rest of us, including the occasional ice-cream, leaving the job of controlling the disease to insulin therapy. However, this guiding principle has been accompanied by an explosive rise in diabetes over the last fifty years, and the expectation that sufferers&#8217; health will deteriorate steadily over time. In this ground-breaking book, award-winning science writer Gary Taubes explores the history of the treatment of diabetes, elucidating the way that badly conceived research influences the guidance that doctors offer today, at the expense of patients&#8217; long-term well-being. Passionately argued and deeply researched, Rethinking Diabetes reimagines diabetes care with diet at its centre, and is hugely persuasive in its questioning of the established wisdom that may have enabled the current epidemic of diabetes and obesity.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Tom Watson began to put on weight in his early twenties, having developed an appetite for fast food and cheap beer while studying at the University of Hull. As time progressed - and his penchant for anything sweet, fatty or fizzy persisted - he found himself adjusting his belt, loosening his collar and upsizing his wardrobe to XXL. He continued to pile on the pounds when he entered the world of politics as MP for West Bromwich East (despite short-lived flirtations with fad diets and fitness classes). By December 2014, his bathroom scales had tipped to 22 stone. After being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in late 2015, he decided to take control of his diet and exercise.
