Author Description

When it comes to food, we all know when we should stop eating. Why then is that handful of crisps not enough? Why when we intend to eat just one slice of pizza do we end up having three? The answer to these questions can be summed up in just one word: flavour. In order to stop eating we need to reach the 'flavour point' — the point at which we feel completely satisfied. However; the overabundance of conflicting flavours in the modern diet over-stimulates the appetite-controlling cells in the brain, with the result that we need more and more food to feel satisfied. In this book, Dr David Katz shares his discovery of a system of flavour combinations and themes that turn off the brain's appetite centre sooner, allowing you to feel full on fewer calories. Using a six-week eating plan, The Flavour Point Diet teaches you how to use flavours cleverly so that you can enjoy satisfying, mouthwatering meals — yet still eat less and lose weight. Crucially, the eating plan retrains your tastebuds so that making the transition to a new, healthy way of eating is easy. That way you can enjoy weight loss which will last a lifetime. --back cover
