Details. Condition: New. Format: Paperback. ISBN: 9781780723761. Publisher: Short Books. Age Range: Adult. Overview. The Diet Fix by Zoe Harcombe is a myth-busting, evidence-based guide for anyone exhausted by the endless cycle of losing weight, regaining it, and starting all over again. Drawing on more than twenty years of research into diets, obesity and eating disorders, Harcombe strips away fashionable fads and food industry spin to explain, in plain language, why so many diets fail and what actually works. This brand new paperback edition is written for real people living real, busy lives who want a plan they can stick to permanently rather than for a few weeks.. About the Book. At the centre of The Diet Fix is Harcombe's practical 10-step plan, built on the principle of eating better rather than eating less. Rather than prescribing calorie counting or extreme restriction, the book explains the biological and psychological reasons behind cravings, overeating and weight regain, and shows how to work with the body rather than against it. Harcombe examines why conventional dieting advice so often backfires, addressing food cravings, insulin resistance, appetite hormones and the emotional relationship many people have with food. Each step of the plan is designed to be sustainable long-term, focusing on food quality, meal structure and lifestyle habits that fit around work, family and everyday demands rather than a rigid regime. Case studies and personal testimony sit alongside the science, making the book feel both authoritative and relatable. The result is less a traditional "diet book" and more a toolkit for rebuilding a healthy relationship with food, aimed at readers who have tried and failed with other approaches and want to understand the "why" behind their struggles before tackling the "how". It is a considered, myth-busting read for anyone ready to break the yo-yo dieting cycle for good.. Evidence-based 10-step plan for lasting weight loss without hunger. E
