In the previous parts, we looked at how our evolution has affected the way we eat, and the way we store fat. We talked about how food companies can take advantage of those evolutionary traits to create products that we find hard to resist, and how the composition of our meals can further drive us to overeat. Finally we discussed the relationship between our food, our fat and our hormones.

So, what do we actually do with all this information? How DO we lose fat?

In this part, we finally start digging in to the practical steps we can take to transform our body composition. We look at the initial steps towards a healthier, happier relationship with our food - one where we control it, rather that it controlling us.
