Summary
'A personal, fun and positive book encouraging dietary diversity and NOT calorie counting' Professor Tim Spector, author of The Diet Myth and Spoon-Fed
'Empowering' Hello! magazine
Why stress causes weight gain
How fasting makes you less hungry
Why sunflower oil is unhealthy
How cold showers can cut your carb cravings
'If I could give you one bit of advice right now, it would be to take all the energy you're putting into fad diets and put it into becoming the most genuinely healthy version of you. If you've got a plan, you're already halfway there. And now you've got this book, you've got one.'
Davinia Taylor was overweight, depressed and unmotivated. She couldn't walk around the block, let alone go for a run or do an exercise class, and she struggled to keep up with her four young sons. In desperation she turned to biohacking to sort her head out - the unexpected bonus was that she lost nearly three stone and has kept it off for years through a series of health tricks from cold showers, to MCT oil, to ancestral eating.
She spent tens of thousands of pounds on specialists and Harley Street doctors, trying the most cutting-edge therapies available, only to discover that the true secrets of feeling amazing are very easy and affordable. Start with eating for your mental health, and weight loss is an effortless side effect.
Divided into four sections: Mood, Food, Movement and Rest, the book takes a holistic approach to weight loss, reminding you that true health is not just about what you eat. It's Not a Diet concludes with a two-week reset programme to put Davinia's advice into action easily and achievably.
Non-Fiction Paperback No.1 bestseller, The Sunday Times, 6th June 2021

Amazing
Just want to say thank you for spreading your wisdom!! I am newly widowed, newly sober, and clutching on to anything wellness related literally for dear life. I listened to your audio book and loved it - I have a paper copy arriving any day to revise the supplements etc. Am loving MCT oil in my tea and am horrified how much bad oil I was having in hummus, non innocent plant milks, processed “healthy” food etc looking forward to the results I know will come ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Brilliant !
Brilliant. Just brilliant. You have to be open to real change, and probably not for the sceptics, but I think it’s the most useful, insightful book I’ve ever read regarding nutrition and addiction.

This book literally changed my life!
For 3 years I’ve been tracking calories. In and out via my fitness pal. I’ve not been able to shift past a certain weight, I’ve been bloated, unhappy and with zero self esteem.
I’ve developed a keen interest in biohacking in the last few months and started to implement things but this seems to be the piece of the puzzle I was missing. Counting chemicals rather than calories, I ditched the MFP app and went cold turkey on chemicals. 2 weeks on, I’m 8lb down already, my eczema is gone, I have no IBS symptoms anymore, and I haven’t touched a chocolate bar for 15 days. I used to eat 1 daily and justify it because I counted it in my calories and did exercise to get rid of it.
Game changer for so many women who have struggled because society has given them poor education around food, and how to nourish their bodies.

Eye opener
I have seen Davinia on Instagram a few times but I didnt know much about her or that she had written any books, so I was very interested to see what she had to say. From the start I was hooked, she has written this book to help others and she has a great way of explaining how her hacks can improve your health and head. I love anything holistic, especially regarding nutrition and I was nodding away as I listened to her talk about organic farming, inflammatory oils and good fats. She has really done her research and I would love to convince my friends and family to listen to this book. I am now going to listen to her book on hormones as I'm sure it will also be an eye opener for me.

Brilliant book, defo worth a listen.
I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. It’s life changing for me and so much so I invested in the hard copy of the book too. I like Davinia’s honesty and no nonsense approach. I follow her on Instagram and now ready to embark on the lifestyle changes.

Extremely interesting.
Extremely interesting, this book is advice but with many different ideas throughout, so you can pick and choose what you need to do to tailor your life. I found that I'm doing some of these things already, but there were a lot of thoughts I will be putting in place, so I'm looking forward to starting the new me!
