Why Your Diet Isn't Working: The Truth About Weight Loss, Emotional Eating, and Sustainable Health

You haven't failed your diet. Your diet has failed you.

Drawing on cutting-edge research in metabolism, gut health, neuroscience, and emotional psychology, Why Your Diet Isn't Working dismantles the myths that keep millions trapped in cycles of restriction, shame, and regain. Finnish-based author Magdalene Tonge reveals why willpower is the wrong tool, how your hormones work against caloric restriction, and what actually drives lasting health - from your microbiome to your morning routine.

Across five parts and seventeen chapters, this book replaces diet rules with biological understanding, shame with self-compassion, and short-term programmes with a sustainable, identity-based approach to eating and wellbeing.

This book will not give you a new diet. It will give you something better: freedom.
