Dr Libby Weaver challenges the idea that body weight can be understood entirely through calories consumed and expended. In this book, she presents her perspective on nourishment, biochemical processes, stress and the habits that influence how people relate to food. Rather than organising the discussion around another restrictive diet, she asks readers to consider the quality of what they eat and the broader circumstances of their lives. Explanations and practical reflections introduce the approach associated with her work. The Calorie Fallacy is an account of Weaver's views on nutrition and weight, intended to prompt a different conversation about eating, wellbeing and the reasons conventional dieting can feel unsatisfying.
