Tom Watson
Former MP and Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, Tom Watson, discusses his new book, Downsizing: How I lost 8 stone, reversed my diabetes and regained my health.
“Tom Watson will share his honest, very frank and inspiring account of how he radically changed the way he ate, lost eight stones and reversed his type 2 diabetes.
“Downsizing charts how, in his words, he went from being a seemingly ill-disciplined, over-indulgent individual who was addicted to sugar and hard-wired to consume more than the Average Joe, into someone who took control of their eating and became fit enough to climb Snowdon.”
is needed now More than ever
Tom Watson was the MP for West Bromwich East from 2001 until 2019 and deputy leader of the Labour Party 2015 – 2019. Following his own radical weight loss and his burgeoning interest in the food systems that fuel obesity in the UK, Tom set up an independent commission that is looking at how government can tackle obesity and stem the rise in type 2 diabetes.
He will be in conversation with Bristol24/7 Editor Martin Booth.
