Weight Loss Surgeon: Why Exercise and Calorie Cutting Doesn’t Work | Dr Andrew Jenkinson

Weight gain is not a moral issue, it’s a biological one. Willpower and calorie counting alone won’t help you drop those unwanted pounds - so what does it really take?

In this episode I speak to weight loss surgeon Dr Andrew Jenkinson, author of How to Eat (And Still Lose Weight) and Why We Eat (Too Much). He explains the best habits for weight loss, how to shift your body weight “set point”, and how the conversation is changing now we have weight loss jabs.
