“Eat less, move more” is incomplete. You can lose weight eating more. How? Through a process known as diet-induced thermogenesis. Diet-induced thermogenesis, the calories burned digesting and absorbing the food you eat, has a greater impact on “calories-out” than exercise. But when you restrict your caloric intake, you restrict diet-induced thermogenesis. Thus, the principle of weight loss is not consuming a very small number of calories - especially when “calories-in” increases “calories-out”.

Sir Terence Rattigan was one of Britain's greatest playwrights, renowned for his well-crafted dramas of upper-class manners and repressed sexuality. He was hugely popular throughout the 1940s and early '50s, and had the rare distinction of having plays running in three West End theatres simultaneously. Having fallen out of fashion in the '60s, his work is now enjoying a huge revival. Included here are some of his most esteemed plays, adapted for radio and brought together in chronological order in one statement collection.
