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-backed 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.

Professor Roy Taylor, bestselling author of Life Without Diabetes, has fully revised the book , with major updates on epidemiological studies, research and thinking on fatty liver and pancreas, new data and definitions of waist hip ratio, as well as new recipe nutritional information.
