About the Author

At the beginning of 2016, in the depths of mental and physical despair, Andrew had a simple idea to treat food addiction by quitting food, in much the same way an alcoholic should quit alcohol. He ended up quitting all foods except potatoes, in a simple experiment to see what would happen. Pretty soon Andrew's story went viral around the globe as people were captivated by his incredible weight loss and physical and mental health improvements. So many thousands of people asked Andrew for help over the course of the year that the best way to help as many people as possible was to collate all the advice he had given in the form of a book. Thus he found that completely unintentionally he'd become a published author.

I cannot recommend this book more. Andrew and his wife Mandy have put together a nice, straightforward, encouraging book for anyone battling food addiction or jump starting weight-loss. The science is solid, he has many reputable doctors' support. His research is also on point.
