Unlock the Science Behind Sustainable Weight Loss

If you’re tired of fad diets, fitness myths, and confusing nutrition advice, Metabolic Pathways Regulating Weight Loss: Healthy Nutrition — How the Body Stores and Burns Fat is your trusted, science-based guide to lasting transformation. Written by Christopher D. Boulton, a nutritionist and former environmental scientist with over 40 years of analytical expertise, this comprehensive book demystifies how the human body stores and burns fat — using real science, not trends.

Explore the metabolic pathways that govern fat storage, energy usage, and weight regulation. Learn the roles of macronutrients, hormones, sleep, time-restricted eating (TRE), and exercise in optimizing fat loss. With a step-by-step 20-point plan, practical food guidelines, and detailed discussions on biochemistry and energy metabolism, this book empowers readers to achieve weight loss through sustainable lifestyle changes — not willpower alone.
Whether you're seeking to lose weight, understand your body, or support a plant-based, health-forward diet, this guide delivers nutritional clarity in a world clouded by misinformation.

This first edition uniquely combines nutritional science, metabolic processes and cellular physiology, explaining the science behind weight gain and loss and how the body’s metabolism is regulated to store energy or burn glucose and fat efficiently. It cuts through the myths and misleading hype continually pedalled on social media, advocating extreme diets and demonising healthy carbohydrates. Instead, a wholesome, nutritional, natural approach is recommended, providing the step by step guide on how best to achieve your weight loss goals in a healthy, sustainable and enjoyable way. This book is packed with nutritional information, data and fascinating facts about the elaborate metabolic and cellular processes utilised by the human body to conserve precious glucose and structural protein, whilst storing and generating sufficient energy. It is a must read for people wishing to achieve weight loss and a healthy lifestyle, a great reference for all nutritionists, dieticians and fitness coaches and a valuable resource for health care professionals, doctors and medical students and anyone wanting to learn more about nutrient metabolism.
