'An honest and fascinating account of the journey that Tom made from discovering he was a type 2 diabetic to doing something about it. This book will change lives.' Michael Mosley, on The Sunday Time's bestseller Downsizing

From the bestselling author of Downsizing, a guide to losing weight - and keeping it off - as well as improving health, from someone who has successfully done both, Lose Weight 4 Life outlines the programme Tom Watson followed for his own remarkable 8-stone (50kg) weight loss.

Divided into 4 sections - Motivation, Movement, Measurement and Maintenance - it includes relatable examples of Tom's own, often bumpy, journey to better health, which saw him transform from someone who mindlessly hoovered up entire packets of biscuits at one go and had to rummage in the XXXL bin for exercise gear into someone who rowed the length of the UK.

Packed with practical advice backed up by the latest research, Lose Weight 4 Life demonstrates that it is never too late to turn things around, even if you are someone who has failed umpteen times before.
