Synopsis

'A personal, fun and positive book encouraging dietary diversity and NOT calorie counting' Professor Tim Spector, author of The Diet Myth and Spoon-Fed

'Empowering' Hello! magazine

Why stress causes weight gain
How fasting makes you less hungry
Why sunflower oil is unhealthy
How cold showers can cut your carb cravings

'If I could give you one bit of advice right now, it would be to take all the energy you're putting into fad diets and put it into becoming the most genuinely healthy version of you. If you've got a plan, you're already halfway there. And now you've got this book, you've got one.'

Davinia Taylor was overweight, depressed and unmotivated. She couldn't walk around the block, let alone go for a run or do an exercise class, and she struggled to keep up with her four young sons. In desperation she turned to biohacking to sort her head out - the unexpected bonus was that she lost nearly three stone and has kept it off for years through a series of health tricks from cold showers, to MCT oil, to ancestral eating.

She spent tens of thousands of pounds on specialists and Harley Street doctors, trying the most cutting-edge therapies available, only to discover that the true secrets of feeling amazing are very easy and affordable. Start with eating for your mental health, and weight loss is an effortless side effect.

Divided into four sections: Mood, Food, Movement and Rest, the book takes a holistic approach to weight loss, reminding you that true health is not just about what you eat. It's Not a Diet concludes with a two-week reset programme to put Davinia's advice into action easily and achievably.

Non-Fiction Paperback No.1 bestseller, The Sunday Times, 6th June 2021

I thought there was lots of interesting information here which was great...but, don’t say on the cover “It’s not a Diet” when there is a pretty strict and intense meal/lifestyle plan at the end.......more

I have a big problem with this book. The 2 week reset at the back was the final straw really. There was some interesting stuff that I’m already implementing into my own diet but there’s lots of problematic stuff in here too. Considered grabbing a sharpie and writing “(IT’S MUCH WORSE)” underneath th......more

Goodreads review by Vicky

I love Davinia and follow her on Instagram, she is funny and really passionate about health and this comes across in her book. Lots of tips and encouragement. She states 'I made the simple choice to start looking after myself' (something like that) and that really resonated with me. Though there's l......more

Goodreads review by David

I really enjoyed this book. It takes all the current science around diet, health and wellness - which lets face it, can be so confusing and complicated - and distils it in to something easy to digest and try. This book is packed full of advice and tips, many of which I plan to give a go. If you’re c......more
