Why We Eat (Too Much) is the Sunday Times bestselling exploration of the true science behind appetite, metabolism and weight gain. Written by weight loss surgeon Dr Andrew Jenkinson, this eye-opening paperback challenges the outdated "eat less, move more" advice and reveals why traditional dieting so often fails. Drawing on decades of clinical experience and cutting-edge research, Jenkinson offers a compelling, evidence-based alternative for anyone who has ever struggled with their weight or wondered why willpower alone rarely works.. About the Book. For over two decades, weight loss surgeon Dr Andrew Jenkinson has treated thousands of patients trapped in the frustrating, repetitive cycle of dieting. In Why We Eat (Too Much), he combines real case studies from his practice with the latest science of metabolism to explain how appetite actually works — and why so much conventional wisdom about weight loss is wrong. The book systematically debunks popular diet myths, examining every angle of nutrition and body regulation: the personal "set weight point" that governs each of our bodies, the crucial difference between good and bad fats, how our genes shape our weight, and how hormones shift once a diet ends, often driving weight straight back on. This edition also includes an additional chapter exploring the link between obesity and COVID-19, making the science feel even more urgent and relevant. Praised by critics as "articulate, clear, a joy to read" and "highly persuasive," this is a book that reframes weight and appetite not as a matter of simple discipline, but as a complex interplay of biology, environment and hormones. This is essential reading for anyone curious about the real biology of hunger and weight.. Sunday Times bestseller — written by a practising weight loss surgeon.
