From better meetings to smarter eating

You Are What You Don't Eat takes the tools of the boardroom into the kitchen. It names the five worst offenders, one chapter each: sugary drinks, breakfast cereal, processed snacks, alcohol and fast food. It audits forty everyday eating habits, from the hotel breakfast to the sandwich at the desk. Every claim is sourced, logged and checked by a registered dietitian.

It ends with a ten-week escape plan. One change a week. Nothing to buy, nothing to weigh, nothing to resist.

No diet. No sermon. Nothing to sell

Smart people eat dumb food. Not through weakness — because an industry spent sixty years engineering the outcome. Softness sells. Speed sells. A crisp that dissolves the moment it meets saliva is a triumph of food science, and it is also a crisp that lets you eat the whole bag while wondering where the bag went.

You Are What You Don't Eat is the briefing you never received. It names the industry, then takes you through an ordinary day and hands you a way out of each part of it.

• The glass — why what you drink may be worse than what you eat, and the tax that worked when asking politely did not
• The cereal aisle — a confectionery counter wearing a health halo and a cartoon animal
• The hours in between — the four o'clock slump and the industry built to meet it
• The bottle — the only thing in this book that damages you twice
• The delivery app — fifty thousand outlets, open very late indeed
• The manner, not the menu — how you eat, which no label warns you about
• The injections — a straight account of the weight-loss drugs, by an author who has taken them and says so
• Ten weeks — one change a week, nothing to buy, nothing to resist

No powders. No plans. No application with a monthly fee. Every factual claim is logged with its source, so you do not have to take anybody's word for it, including the author's.

Not your fault. Now your responsibility.

What can you learn in half a day? Quite a lot, as it turns out. This three-hour workshop, in person or online, takes up to twenty-five people through the ten-week, one-change-a-week method behind the books. No diets. No judgement. No pretending anyone will give up cake forever. Everyone leaves with a personal plan, a line to say out loud and a tracker for the fridge door. Ideal for wellbeing weeks, team days and the week the resolutions run out. Ask for dates and a proposal.
