• Why the less hungry you are, the more weight you’ll lose.
• How different types of calories have different fattening potential.
• Why weight is not just about calories, but the impact our diet has on key hormones including insulin and leptin.
• Why you should ignore foods labelled ‘low fat’ or ‘light’.
