My First Book: Available for Pre-Order Now!

1

:green_book: My first book, Well Fed: How modern diets are failing us (and what to do about it), is available for pre-order!

The book urges you to pause and think - just a little - about what you eat.

What a journey…

Back in early 2019, I started to think about my food choices and change how I eat. I started writing about these changes as a pandemic passion project but I just had so much to share.

Well Fed introduces a new dietary strategy, “Contemplative Nutrition”, where I offer a solution to the problems of the modern food system, laid out in the five key pillars:

  1. Food and our physical health and performance
  2. Nutrition for our mental wellbeing
  3. Sustainable eating
  4. Ethical consideration
  5. Eating in the company of others

Our food choices directly influence our health and well-being, but they also impact others and the planet we live on.

Diets aren’t black & white; the right one can be sensible, realistic, straightforward and, dare I say it, enjoyable.

Well Fed is available for pre-order.

Any questions (and feedback) please ask below!

Yes it looks interesting. I’ve read many takes on the food chain over the years starting with the most memorable being Gluttons for punishment by James Erlichman, fast food nation by Eric schlosser, Swallow This by Joanna Blythman, and most recently Regenesis by George Monbiot and Ravenous by Henry Dimbleby.

I’ll definitely be getting a copy.

Hey @hunzas I’ve not read all of those!

I’m trying to take a broad perspective. Well Fed could be described in one sentence as ‘a food and nutrition book about complexity’.

@JamesCollier hopefully there will be lots of uniques perspective then. Looking forward to giving it a read next year.

Thanks - there’s a completely new idea I introduce in Chapter 9. I really want feedback on that!

Whoa, totally missed this. Definitely grabbing it – sounds brilliant! The angles and topics chosen have me very interested, and hopefully they’re in a digestible way as it seems like it could be a great book to gift a few people I know.

If it’s anything like your blog, then I’m sure I’ll love it. Are you narrating the audiobook version? (Always much prefer when the author narrates!)

While it’s a book about what we eat, do you touch on things like reasons why we might want to eat less for a period of time and autophagy for example? Or would this be its own topic for another book?

Well Fed is a book about making better food choices. I do cover calorie restriction and fasting but not in relation to cell senescence and autophagy. The longevity space is a key interest of mine: that’s something I will, indeed, be covering elsewhere, maybe in my Substack.
