The Sunday Times No.1 Bestseller, May 2025

'GLP-1s, miracle or menace? Everyone should read this great book' Tim Spector

'This is a superb book for anyone who is considering taking (or talking about) the new weight loss drugs - in other words all of us' Chris Van Tulleken

Dr Jack Mosley's groundbreaking book is your complete trusted guide to the new weight-loss revolution.

Constant, unwanted thoughts about food - Food Noise - can be impossible to silence in our world of compelling marketing messages and ongoing temptation.

GLP-1s (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro et al) are said to be the biggest medical breakthrough in decades. They banish food cravings, subsequent weight loss is rapid, and the drugs are said to bring many additional health benefits, but one question remains; how do you lose the weight well, and sustain it for life?

The author weighs up the pros and cons of these so-called "miracle" drugs, and, building on the legacy of his father Dr Michael Mosley, he combines medical insight from leading experts, with practical advice, and real-life stories from those who have experienced both the highs and the lows of GLP-1 drugs. Critically, he answers the questions few are addressing: Are you losing fat or muscle? How can you meet your body's nutritional needs? And how can you embrace a lifestyle that nourishes both body and mind
