Food Isn’t Medicine

Wolrich, Joshua

£10.99

Losing weight is not your life’s purpose. Do carbs make you fat? Could the keto diet cure mental health disorders? Are eggs as bad for you as smoking? No, no and absolutely not. It’s all what Dr Joshua Wolrich defines as ‘nutribollocks’ and he is on a mission to set the record straight. As an NHS doctor with personal experience of how damaging diets can be, he believes every one of us deserves to have a happy, healthy relationship with food and with our bodies. His message is clear: we need to fight weight stigma, call out the lies of diet culture and give ourselves permission to eat all foods. This book wades through nutritional science (both good and bad) to demystify the common diet myths that many of us believe without questioning.

Description

*The Sunday Times Bestseller*

Does sugar cause type 2 diabetes?
Are vegan diets always healthier?
Is weight the main driver of our health?

No, no and absolutely not – NHS doctor and nutritionist Joshua Wolrich is on a mission to set the record straight.

In Food Isn’t Medicine, he draws on the latest nutritional science to cut through what he calls ‘nutribollocks’, unravelling the false beliefs that too often inform how we eat. With candour and compassion, he debunks damaging food myths and dismantles the most pervasive of them all: the myth that your weight defines your health.

If you have ever considered intermittent fasting, avoided artificial sweeteners, dairy or carbs for ‘health’ reasons, or struggled through diet after diet wondering why nothing seems to work, this book will be a powerful wake-up call.
