'I am relishing this phenomenal, science-based demolition of the bankrupt diet and 'healthy eating'advice that's been churned out by the nutrition establishment for the last fifty years. Why dieting is a total waste of time. Why fat is not the enemy. The 'slimming' foods that actually encourage you to put on weight. Why you should base your eating on time-honoured unprocessed foods, not the low-cal junk that fills food industry coffers. A really important book.' Joanna Blythman
