Overview
The Dopamine Diet by Tom Kerridge is a low-carb weight loss cookbook built around one simple idea: a diet only works long-term if you actually enjoy eating it. Drawing on the science of dopamine, the brain's "feel-good" chemical, Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge shares the exact approach that helped him lose eleven stone over three years. Instead of bland, restrictive meals, every recipe is designed to be genuinely satisfying, using hero ingredients like yogurt, meat, and even chocolate to keep cravings and motivation in check while the pounds come off.

About the Book
Tom Kerridge built his reputation as the chef behind The Hand and Flowers, the first pub in the world to hold two Michelin stars, so when he set out to lose weight, he refused to settle for a diet that tasted like punishment. The Dopamine Diet is the result: a practical, low-carb eating plan structured around foods that trigger the brain's natural release of dopamine, the neurotransmitter linked to pleasure, motivation, and mood. Rather than framing weight loss as a battle of willpower against hunger, Kerridge argues that sustainable change comes from feeling good while you do it, and the recipes in this book are built to deliver exactly that. Expect hearty, flavor-forward dishes that swap out refined carbohydrates for smarter, more satisfying ingredients without stripping out the indulgence that makes food worth eating. Breakfasts, main meals, and treats are all covered, with clear guidance on portioning and ingredient swaps so readers can adapt the plan to their own tastes and schedules. Because the book grew out of Kerridge's own transformation, losing eleven stone over three years, the advice carries the credibility of lived experience rather than theory alone. It's a cookbook for people who have tried restrictive diets before and found them unsustainable, offering a more forgiving, flavor-first alternative that still delivers real results. Brand new paperback copies are ready to help readers start their own low-carb, feel-good journey toward lasting weight loss.
