A Cambridge University geneticist and BBC broadcaster, Yeo dismantles popular diet myths with wit, rigour and hard evidence. Why Calories Don't Count questions the reliability of calorie counting, while Gene Eating explores how our DNA shapes cravings and metabolism. Together they offer a myth-busting, thoroughly researched pairing for anyone tired of fad diets and looking for genuine, science-backed answers about nutrition and body weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn Why Calories Don't Count, Dr Giles Yeo challenges the everyday assumption that all calories are equal, unpicking why the numbers on food packaging rarely tell the whole story. Drawing on his research as an obesity scientist, he explains how food quality, environment and individual metabolism combine to influence weight far more than simple arithmetic ever could. The book is packed with anecdotes and clear explanations that make complex nutritional science genuinely readable, guiding readers toward smarter, evidence-based choices rather than restrictive counting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGene Eating takes a step further into the genetics of appetite. Yeo, a leading researcher into the genetic causes of obesity, unpacks how inherited traits interact with modern food environments to drive cravings, fullness and overeating. It's a sharp, often funny critique of diet culture and \"clean eating\" trends, replacing marketing noise with laboratory-grade evidence. Both books share Yeo's talent for translating dense science into accessible, entertaining reading, making this pairing an ideal introduction to the real biology of weight management for curious general readers, students, or anyone rethinking their relationship with food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo acclaimed, myth-busting books from a leading Cambridge obesity researcher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten in an accessible, witty style that makes complex science easy to follow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChallenges popular diet culture with evidence-based, practical insight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers both environmental and genetic drivers of appetite and weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback set, ideal for personal reading or gifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDr Giles Yeo is a geneticist based at the University of Cambridge's MRC Metabolic Diseases Unit, where he researches the genetic causes of obesity.
