Overview
This two-book health and nutrition collection pairs two of the most trusted voices in weight and diabetes management. Dr Andrew Jenkinson's Why We Eat (Too Much) unpacks the real science behind appetite and metabolism, while Jenefer Roberts' Can I Eat That? offers practical, reassuring guidance for anyone newly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Together they combine clinical expertise with everyday, accessible advice, making this set an ideal companion for readers wanting to understand their bodies, rethink dieting myths, and make confident, informed food choices every day.

About the Books
In Why We Eat (Too Much), weight loss surgeon Dr Andrew Jenkinson draws on over two decades of clinical experience treating patients caught in the endless cycle of dieting. Combining real case studies with the latest science of metabolism, he explains how appetite genuinely works, why the standard "eat less, move more" advice so often fails, and how factors such as our individual "set weight point", hormone responses, and the quality of the fats we eat all shape our long-term weight. It's a myth-busting, evidence-led read for anyone frustrated by failed diets.

Can I Eat That? takes a completely different, warmer approach. Written in a chatty, non-medical style, Jenefer Roberts guides readers through the sometimes frightening early weeks following a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis. The book explains the nutritional science behind the condition in plain English, identifies which foods are genuinely safe to enjoy, and brings it all together with practical cooking advice. It includes over 100 recipes designed to be healthy, nutritious and genuinely enjoyable, proving that a diabetes-friendly diet doesn't have to mean giving up on flavour.

• Two complementary health titles from respected, experienced authors
• Combines hard science on metabolism with practical, everyday diabetes advice
• Over 100 diabetes-friendly recipes included in Can I Eat That?
• Debunks common dieting myths with evidence-based research
• Accessible, jargon-free writing suitable for general readers
