CUSTOMER REVIEWS.

"I found the book incredibly informative and it really did cover everyone's situation from being a teenager right through to the menopause and old age. One useful thing could have been to focus on people with low / high income as well as its not always easy to eat as healthily on a low income.

I also like the fact that you address deeper issues rather than just food as I think that is a trigger of obesity in most people rather than they just eat too much.

Great book and many thanks

Kind regards"

Dear Joanna

Many thanks for letting me have the opportunity of reviewing your book "Drop a Size For Life". It was a fascinating read and I now realise many areas where I have been going wrong over the years. I have a lot of faith in your regime as I have already lost nearly two stones on your Summer Stunner plan for the This Morning programme. My husband has also lost weight following this plan. Since stopping the plan we have both managed to maintain our lower weights and are now looking forward to the next step - to lose more weight by following the advice and recipes in your book. I had not realised that conducting a carb curfew ® would make such a difference and we will definately follow this advice from now on.

The book has explained clearly many aspects of dieting which I had not fully understood before. Section Two in particular gives some facts and figures and tips which I am sure will be very helpful to guide previous failures on the right path for success.

In common with so many I have been on many diets over the years and joined various slimming clubs with the usual outcome in that I lost weight but did not learn any new skills as to how to maintain the weight and nor did I learn how to love myself and overcome my lack of confidence. Your book shows that far from being abnormal, this is how a lot of people are and will certainly be of help to turn their lives around and if they also lose weight that is all to the good!

I liked your sections on improving self-esteem as this has also been a major problem I have had following various major setbacks in my life. It is certainly true that at these times I was very susceptible to comfort eating and trying to hide my unhappiness through drinking. Fortunately not to harmful extents, but enough to pile on the weight. This stopped some years ago, but I now have to get back to where I want to be! With your help, I will do this. Your book is full of very practical and sensible advice and will certainly help many people, me included, to achieve our goals.

Thank you once again.

Yours sincerely

Susan Griggs

Happy New Year

I have nearly finished the book and have already started to implement some of the ideas. The big thing for me was realising that every little counts I have always taken the attitude that if I can't follow a diet and exercise 3 times a week I might as well not carry on so every time I had a blip I would just give up.

This book has got so many ideas for little changes that could make a big difference. The first section is great, diets don't normally set about retraining your thinking. I am 5 days into the carb curfew which I have read and heard before but always resisted as I cook for a family or 5 including 3 young children and husband who is a fussy eater and a night worker. I don't want to go down the route of cooking different meals as I think this sends an unhealthy message to the children(as well as well being a hassle).

I feel very motivated by this book to finally tackle the weight problem that I have fought for as long as I remember with a very do-able and realistic plan. wish me luck! and thanks again for the wonderful chance to try this.

P.S. my husband bought me the DVD for Christmas and I have been doing it and definitely feel better.

The book and DVD are definite winners in my opinion
All the best
