This brand-new paperback edition strips away fad-diet noise and social-media pseudoscience, replacing it with clear, evidence-based explanations of fat, carbohydrates, gluten, gut health and the food-mood connection. It's an essential, level-headed read for anyone tired of conflicting headlines and looking for trustworthy nutrition guidance grounded in real research rather than trends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRegistered dietitians Rosie Saunt and Helen West set out to answer the questions their clients ask most: is fat really the enemy, are carbs making us fat, and does everyone need to avoid gluten? Drawing on their work at The Rooted Project, they examine why single studies and celebrity anecdotes so easily override solid science, and how the diet industry profits from confusion and fear around food. Chapters unpack the shaky evidence behind popular \"clean eating\" claims, explore the real differences between food allergies and intolerances, and look at emerging research linking gut health to mood and mental wellbeing. Rather than prescribing another restrictive plan, the authors equip readers with the critical-thinking tools to evaluate nutrition claims for themselves — whether they appear in a magazine, on Instagram, or from a well-meaning friend. The tone throughout is warm, witty and refreshingly free of jargon, making complex nutritional science accessible to everyday readers. It's a book for anyone who has ever stood in a supermarket aisle unsure whether butter, bread or milk is \"good\" or \"bad\" for them, and wants a calmer, more informed way to think about food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCuts through diet-culture noise with clear, referenced science\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by two qualified, practising registered dietitians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers fat, carbs, gluten, gut health and the food-mood link\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeaches readers how to critically assess nutrition headlines and claims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm, accessible tone — no prior science background required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat gift for health-conscious friends, family or colleagues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRosie Saunt and Helen West are registered dietitians and the founders of The Rooted Project, an organisation dedicated to translating up-to-date nutrition research into practical, jargon-free advice.
