I’m glad this book exists and think it’s an important introduction to the topic. In saying that, it is very much an introduction, so if you are already very familiar with the topic you are unlikely to learn anything new.

This is a great, short read that takes a balanced view of food, weight and risks of illnesses in relation to diet.
The takeaways (get it!) is to eat more fruit and veg, more fibre in terms of legumes and beans, include dairy and oily fish and to eat less red and cured meats. And to eat a variety and without guilt.

Excuse the Pun but this book definitely gives you a loot of food for thought as well as a lot to unpack, digest and take in. I have never been someone who has suffered or been triggered by food apart from while at college but this book is definitely a must read for Everyone.
There is so much diet stigma, Myths and straight up nutrib*llocks (Love this Phrase) around that its difficult to work out what is fact and what is pure made up. With this book in hand you will have all within your arsenal, to swat all the harmful nutrib*llock rubbish away.
I listened to the audiobook and it was narrated absolutely brilliantly. It made for very easy listening and it was so so entertaining and very enlightening. The book itself is written with so much respect, delicacy and sensitivity that the is no judgment coming through the pages at all You don’t get a telling off for being a victim of diet scams or for diets you follow but instead, replaces new foundations and builds you up in a friendly and informative way.
In a nutshell - Fab, brill, perfect, illuminating, informative, very inclusive, greatly written (and narrated if you’re listening to the audiobook) and everyone should read it. Oh and I have also ordered and bought this book as a physical copy too as my bookshelf and life need it. If you come across this book - read it! You won’t regret it.
