'GLP-1s, miracle or menace? Everyone should read this great book' Tim Spector

'This is a superb book for anyone who is considering taking (or talking about) the new weight loss drugs - in other words all of us' Chris Van Tulleken

Is your Food Noise too loud?

Are you deafened by persistent chatter that sends you back to the kitchen or the coffee shop for a snack you probably don't need?

Food Noise can be relentless, it can worsen with chronic stress, or lack of sleep, and is dialled up by seductive advertising and the easy meals and treats we are surrounded by.

This book weighs up the pros and cons of the new GLP1's, the so-called 'miracle' weight loss drugs which promise to silence the food noise and deliver rapid weight loss. They also have a role to play in reversing Type 2 diabetes and can have other health benefits, but are they a game changer, or a health hazard?

Food Noise is an easy-to-read mix of the latest science, real-life stories, practical advice, delicious and healthy recipes, and a 7-day meal plan to help you eat well when you're eating less, on or off the drugs.

This book will help you to:

• Understand the science
• Transform your diet and your health
• Sustain that change
