I absolutely love this book, I have followed this guy on Instagram for ages, so was already aware of his work. But this is brilliant, I would encourage everyone to read this as he breaks things down and makes it very relatable.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

A very sensible book about weight loss which proposes the common sense approach that the only way to lose weight is to eat a bit less and move a bit more, while continuing to enjoy occasional food treats as part of a healthy balanced lifestyle. Nothing new or groundbreaking here, but more of a mental reset for those who have been swept away by the false promises of fad diets and detoxes. There are a handful of recipes to try, which look bright and appealing.

With thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in return for an honest review.

This is the book you need to read before contemplating going on a diet, joining a slimming group or investing in any other weight loss related fad. Trust me, it will save you money, and quite possibly the heartache that inevitably follows.

The Fitness Chef, known for his very distinctive, eye opening infographics on social media relating to all things nutrition, brings together everything we need to know to manage our own nutrition. To me this book smacks strongly of 'knowledge is power', it really empowers us to understand all things calorie related.

Having read this book I feel that readers will understand how to calculate how much food they need to maintain, gain and (lets face it crucially!) LOSE weight, without losing their mind! Crucially, it recognises that quality of life is important and really cater towards this. Hallelujah, we have waited a long time for this. Just read this book, it WILL change your life.

Loving the metaphors, references to the work of the equally fabulous James Clear and the recipes (...which 'had me' at 'strawberry and dark chocolate porridge - just sayin). Overall, great book. Just. Buy. It.

My thanks to Netgalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an advance copy.

This is not your typical book that you would sit down and read cover to cover. There is a lot of information and it needs time to be absorbed. There is so much great information. Some things are obvious but it's always good to be reminded. Everybody knows to drink more water but it's nice to be reminded so we can be more mindful. A great book to have in your "tool kit"

I have been following the author on social media for a while now, and i have always found the images that he posts to be eye-catching and have provided food for thought.

Based on this, i was interested to read this book and understand more about Graeme's ideas on how best to form a healthy relationship with food and weight.

This book offered many useful insights into the diet industry and helped to dispel some of the more common myths that people like me have fallen into over the years, and it was a refreshing read.

The recipes in the book all look delicious and have been added to my menu to try out.

If you love a graph or a diagram - then this is the book for you!!
Man, there a ton of graphs in this!

I found this book to be very interesting but a little overwhelming at times too! There is just so much to take in. It's a given that a lot of it is common sense - but there is also a lot more in depth knowledge too. I certainly wouldn't recommend reading in one go as it is pretty full on, but to dip in and out of would be perfect!
