The Harcombe Diet: Stop Counting Calories and Start Losing Weight by Zoe Harcombe

UK Bestseller hits New Zealand shores!

None of us want to be fat – and yet one-quarter of New Zealand adults are obese, while 36.3 per cent are classified as overweight (MOH, 2008). We are one of the fattest nations on earth. Which begs the question: Why on earth do we have an obesity problem, let alone an epidemic, when we so desperately want to be slim?

We all know the story. You’ve tried every diet under the sun. You’ve lost weight and put it all back on. The more you diet, the more you crave food. You have almost given up hope of being and staying slim. Do you want some good news? It’s not your fault. You are not greedy or weakwilled. You’ve just been given the wrong advice. This is the first book to explain why traditional Western diets are the cause of the current obesity epidemic, not the cure. It shows that counting calories leads to three extremely common physical conditions, all of which cause overeating. You will no doubt be suffering from one, or even all three, of these conditions, and this is making you, and keeping you, fat.

The Harcombe Diet will help you lose weight and keep it off – for life. There is absolutely nothing to count and you can have unlimited quantities of real food – including carbs and fats. As Zoe says, “Count calories and end up a food addict. Stop counting calories and start losing weight!”

• Do you want to lose weight?
• Do you feel addicted to, and controlled by, food?
• Do you find it impossible to stick to a diet?
• Have you ever counted calories?
• Can you not bear the thought of having to avoid fruit, chocolate, bread and the ‘good things in life’ in order to stay slim?
• Do you experiences unpleasant symptoms after meals - anything from bloating to feeling ‘foggy’?

If any of the above sounds like you, The Harcombe Diet will change your life!
