A 360˚ handbook for life in the age of weight-loss medications, with clear and concise advice on sustaining a healthy weight. 'Millions of people on weight-loss treatments are not receiving the necessary 'wraparound' support. With this book, Dr Linia fills the gap by providing actionable tools to maximise the benefits of these drugs.' Professor Giles Yeo

This is a groundbreaking book for everyone facing the 'what now?' moment after using weight-loss medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Saxenda.

In the UK, over 1.5 million people are thought to be taking GLP-1s, while in the US, one in eight people have taken weight-loss medication. Yet a recent US study found that only 44% of users were still taking the meds after three months, and just 19% after a year.

Whatever your reasons for deciding to live without GLP-1s, this accessible and reassuring book offers long-term solutions for those who are wanting to keep the weight off, feeling anxious about weight regain, overwhelmed by the food noise or unsure how to trust their appetite. Internationally renowned dietitian Dr Linia Patel clearly explains how to rebuild your relationship with food and create sustainable habits long after the prescription ends.

Her book is divided into six sections with helpful takeaways at the end of each main chapter:

1.Beyond the scales - understand what happens to your body on and off GLP-1s, and explore holistic and sustainable weight management strategies.
2.Nourish - learn how to eat in a way that supports feeling full and nourishes your body and brain.
3.Energise - move and live for strength and resilience.
4.Align - master the mental side of weight management when the food noise returns.
5.Integration and application - bring it all together and personalise the methods for your journey.
6. Recipes and meal plans - a full-colour section with 40 easy, everyday recipes to keep you full and nourished, plus 4 weekly meal plans.

With this book, you'll discover manageable ways to support your metabolism and help you feel strong and in control well into the future.
