A compassionate, science-backed roadmap to appetite, metabolism and life in the age of GLP-1s, from the Head Nutritionist at ZOE and Sunday Times bestselling author

Includes a foreword from Professor Tim Spector

Appetite is not a test of willpower, but a biological system shaped by the brain, gut, hormones and the world around us. The rise of GLP-1 medications, including Ozempic, Mounjaro and Wegovy, has brought this into sharp focus, but one crucial question remains: how do you eat to support long-term health?

In The Appetite Reset, leading nutritionist and medical scientist Dr Federica Amati reveals how modern diets disrupt our natural signals, and how to restore them. Blending cutting-edge science with clear advice and recipes, she offers practical strategies to protect metabolism, master appetite and build a sustainable relationship with food.

Whether you want to understand your appetite, are taking GLP-1s, or adjusting to life afterwards, this is your essential guide to eating well.

'An interesting and informative exploration of the medication everyone is talking about - the GLP-1s- and the fascinating science behind their impact' - Dr Jack Mosley

'A timely and balanced look at appetite, nutrition and the rise of GLP-1 therapies that's actually grounded in science, not simply hype!' - Dr Hazel Wallace
