The Full Diet: The revolutionary new way to achieve lasting weight loss

The Sunday Times bestseller

FAB RESEARCH COMMENT:

The author of this new book is an NHS consultant specialising in obesity - and the diet that this book outlines has already been shown to work in clinical practice. See:

• Imperial Satiety Protocol: A new non-surgical weight-loss programme, delivered in a health care setting, produces improved clinical outcomes for people with obesity

In essence, it involves eating 'real food' - and avoiding ultra-processed foods (which are high in sugar and refined carbs and unhealthy fats; low in dietary fibre and many essential nutrients; and contain numerous artificial chemical additives). 

The underlying scientific principles behind this diet are the same ones spelled out by Professor Robert Lustig, who first flagged that high insulin - and 'insulin resistance' - is a major factor in maintaining obesity. Because high insulin promotes fat storage, preventing many of the calories consumed from being available to 'burn' for energy. See:

• Metabolical: The truth about processed food and how it poisons people and the planet 

Extensive evidence now shows that diets high in ultra-processed foods both promote and maintain obesity - by feeding the metabolic problems that contribute to this, as well as to Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

And a rigorous randomised controlled trial showed that a diet of ultra-processed vs 'real' food led to weight gain of almost one kilogram in just 2 weeks - owing to the overeating that this caused. See:
