Description: The Diet Myth by Tim Spector, Professor Tim Spector One of the leading scientists in the field explores the hidden connection between our guts and our health. Updated throughout and with a new foreword. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Fully updated throughout and with a new foreword for this edition.Why do most diets fail? Why does one person eat a certain meal and gain weight, while another eating the same meal loses pounds? Why, despite all the advice about what to eat, are we all still getting fatter? The answers are much more surprising - and fascinating - than weve been led to believe. The key to health and weight loss lies not in the latest fad diet, nor even in the simple mantra of eat less, exercise more, but in the microbes already inside us. Drawing on the latest science and his own pioneering research, Professor Tim Spector demystifies the common misconceptions about fat, calories, vitamins and nutrients. Only by understanding what makes our own personal microbes tick can we overcome the confusion of modern nutrition, and achieve a healthy gut and a healthy body. Author Biography Tim Spector is Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at Kings College London and Hon Consultant Physician at Guys and St Thomas Hospital. He has won several academic awards and published over 700 academic papers, a large proportion of which relate to nutrition and the causes of obesity. Since 2011 he has lead the largest microbiome project in the UK, using genetic sequencing to study the bacteria in the guts of 5,000 twins. He is the lead investigator for British Gut, the UKs largest open-source science project to understand the microbial diversity of the human gut.www.tim-spector.co.uk / @timspector Review Its not often that a book changes my life in a mere three chapters ... given my usual reluctance to jump on any nutritional bandwagon, I reckon this makes Tim Spectors work a rather compelling read. ...

And its very convincing. Id advise anyone pondering a diet this season to read it first - The Food Programme, Book of the Year, BBC Radio 4Several popular books have appeared this year about our microbial guests, focusing on their role in promoting human health - and Spector, a world leader in genetic studies of twins, has written the best of them - Financial Times, Books of the Year Long Description Fully updated throughout and with a new foreword for this edition.
