In this timely book, Dr Mosley explains why we pile on dangerous abdominal fat and shows us how to shed it, fast. He demolishes common myths and offers practical, science-baked advice for lasting change.

The 8-week plan includes 3 core principles - a low-carb eating plan; advice on physical activity; key mental health activities - which work together alongside the menu plans to create a powerful programme to control blood sugar levels, prevent and reverse type 2 diabetes, and promote weight loss.

This is a book not just for those at highest risk but for anyone who has struggled with their weight and wants to regain control of their health.

Dr Michael Mosley, author of the bestselling 5:2 Fast Diet, reveals a game-changing approach to one of the greatest silent epidemics of our time - raised blood sugar levels. This is a book not just for those at highest risk but for anyone who has struggled with their weight and wants to regain control of their health. The revelatory claim running throughout this book that type 2 diabetes can not only be prevented but actually reversed is one of the most heartening messages I have have read in a long time. In his clear, un-sensationalist prose, Michael Mosley takes us through the science, theory and evidence behind this claim. If the changes in our diet and lifestyles suggested in this important book were to be taken up I believe it could affect a dramatic change in the nation s health and well-being.
