Synopsis

The opening sets the context of repeated weight loss and regain, referencing Oprah Winfrey’s public experience of yo-yo dieting and the sense that commonly given advice does not work. Dr Zoë Harcombe describes her own history of dieting in her twenties and explains how this led her to seek a solution using her scientific training.

She outlines two decades of study into diet, eating habits and the escalating obesity crisis, and presents herself as a nutrition expert for leading doctors. In The Diet Fix, she sets out a 10-step plan and uses evidence-based analysis to explain how to lose weight without hunger, how to eat better rather than less, and how to approach change differently this time.
