- Description
- As a nation, we’ve got a problem with our waistlines. The majority of us are overweight, and a third of us are obese. We’ve always been told the solution to obesity is just eat less and move more. But the latest scientific research is turning that assumption on its head. Food industry insider Chris Bavin meets leading experts to find out what science can tell us about why we’re getting bigger - and how we might stop it. We discover why our genes make it harder for some of us to control our weight; how easy it is to trick our brains into healthy eating; what we can do to change our gut bacteria to help keep us thin; and we follow the trial of an injection that could cure obesity.
