While many focus solely on the calorie equation — how much you eat versus how much you move — Dr Libby has thousands of stories that demonstrate why this isn’t the sole determinant of body shape and size. Her work uncovers how a range of factors, including stress hormones, sex hormones, thyroid function, gut bacteria and more, contribute to fat storage and weight regulation.
Let’s be honest — most people don’t finish off a packet of chocolate biscuits believing it’s a healthy choice. For many, the challenge isn’t a lack of education but rather biochemical or emotional drivers. Dr Libby addresses both these aspects, offering insights into the interplay between biochemistry and emotions that influence fat storage and overall wellness.
Using heartfelt and relatable case studies, Dr Libby illuminates why people may struggle to achieve the weight loss they desire and provides practical tools to help readers piece together their own weight loss puzzle. Whether it’s understanding the role of hormones, improving gut health, or addressing emotional eating, Accidentally Overweight equips readers with the knowledge and strategies they need to reclaim their health and wellbeing."
