Dr Michael Mosley’s son is picking up his dad’s weight loss campaign with the publication of a new book. Michael Mosley was a household name helping thousands of people lose weight through his books, TV shows and podcasts.
His wife, Dr Clare Bailey Mosley, joined him in the battle to improve the nation’s health. And now their son, Dr Jack Mosley is picking up the baton.
Jack, an expert in weight loss products, has joined with his mother to write a book aimed at stopping cravings people get when they try to shed pounds. The two explained the project on Instagram.
Dr Bailey said: “We’ve been busy. I’m sitting here on the sofa with my son Jack who’s a doctor and Jack has produced a book called Food Noise about the GLPs and he can tell you all about it. And it’s really exciting.”
Jack took up the reins explaining the book aimed to help people who were craving foods as they tried to stick to a diet. He said: “Food Noise is a book about silencing your cravings with the weight loss drugs but it’s also got a really big focus on nutrition and exercise as well as the weight loss drugs.
“My mum has written 50 incredible recipes for the book which are packed with protein and fibre which can really help satisfy those cravings and reduce your appetite off and on the drugs.” His mum added: “And it’s a really good read so I’m very excited.”
She added: “It’s been wonderful to continue the Mosley Mission of healthy living as a family. In Food Noise, Jack brings his medical expertise and combines it with smart nutrition strategies to help you take control of your health, and my recipes are there to make it all a little easier (and tastier)!”
Jack, a GP Registrar, is and an expert in GLP-1 drugs – medications that can help manage Type 2 diabetes and obesity. He set out why he had written the book. He said: “I’ve spent years researching these groundbreaking medications.
“My medical training and Masters of Research in Diabetes has given me deep insight into the treatment of obesity, as well as the science behind these drugs, which are helping many people take control of their weight by silencing the “food noise” in their brains.
“But with these new “miracle” drugs comes the responsibility of using them safely and effectively. Many people buy them online without proper guidance, leading to potential risks like malnutrition and muscle loss.
“That’s why I’ve written Food Noise – to explain the science behind GLP-1s and how to use them safely. I combine real-life stories with practical advice on maintaining nutrients, preserving muscle mass, and building lasting habits to keep food noise at bay, even after stopping the medication.”
Fans were thrilled at the news with many commenting on how pleased his dad would have been. Rose said: “Fantastic, well done. Look forward to a read . Your dad would be immensely proud as is your mum.”
Lyn said: “Well done @dr.jack.mosley on your book. You are so like your dad and like your mum I’m sure he’d have been very proud.”
Lisa added: “What an incredible family. Michael will be looking down super proud.” Ann said: “So much like his dad.”
