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.
