About The Book
GLP-1 medications such have transformed the way we think about weight loss. For millions of people, these drugs have offered something that decades of dieting never could: genuine, measurable results. But here’s what very few people are being told.
The medication is only half the story.
Because the uncomfortable truth is this: research shows that a significant number of people who stop taking these medications regain much of the weight they lost. Not because the drugs didn’t work, but because nobody helped them do the deeper work needed to change their relationship with food. The medication can quieten the constant mental chatter about eating (what’s often called ‘food noise’), but once you stop, that chatter comes back. Unless, that is, you’ve used that precious window of quiet to build new habits, new patterns and a new way of relating to your body.
Written by NHS consultant psychiatrist Dr Max Pemberton and leading psychologist Dr Courtney Raspin, it’s the first book to combine clear, practical medical guidance on GLP-1 drugs with a structured psychological programme designed to make your results last.
