This self-help book is for people who have gained weight because they
have lost touch with using natural hunger and fullness signals to guide
their eating.
As seen on Channel 4's 'Don't Diet, Lose Weight', Dr Helen McCarthy
shows you how to relearn to eat in tune with your body, whilst still
eating your favourite foods, taking one manageable step at a time. It is
the antithesis to 'going on a diet'. It is also the antidote to 'clean
eating', as you eat what you already, and have always, loved instead of
a prescribed set of acceptable foods. The unique position of The
Appetite Doctor's appetite retraining programme is that it bridges
biology and psychology and puts the focus on specific habit change, all
while taking into account the natural resistance we have to making
changes. It teaches you how to work with, not against, your body.

Loss 2. The Appetite System - an overview of the science behind your
