If all diets work, why is it such a problem for us to maintain a healthy weight while still enjoying life? & why do we fall into the trap of sending ourselves on an endless rollercoaster of boom & bust, dieting & overeating, which makes us feel bad or ashamed about ourselves? In Ian Marber s long-standing experience as a nutritional therapist, most people want to eat in a way that satisfies their hunger, enables them to enjoy good food, minimises cravings, & works with even the busiest work, or social, schedule all without gaining weight. We do not always understand how our bodies work & therefore how & what to eat. Ian explains how to ensure that the food we eat is enjoyable & converts to energy rather than fat. & we do not always think about ourselves, & food, in a positive way. We often see food as the enemy, & engage in a battle that we feel we will always lose. Or attitudes from family, friends, colleagues, & the media about our weight, or how we should look, lead many of us to try extreme diets, buy low calorie foods, or over-exercise. We learn how to diet, not how to eat, & when we treat ourselves the weight creeps back on & another cycle of emotional guilt & self-denial begins. In this revolutionary but commonsense book, Ian tells the reader how to eat so that they will never get fat. This is not a one-off diet book, it is a way of life...that works! Radical yet realistic, packed with"es & scenarios that the reader will recognise, informative yet humorous, Ian Marber delivers us from dieting. ...

The principle behind How Not To Get Fat is simple: the most effective way to manage our weight is not to get fat in the first place!

In Your Daily Diet Ian summarises his theory & then puts it into practice with a wealth of ideas for meals & snacks so that readers know exactly what they can eat on a daily basis without getting fat. He provides essential information on 50 healthy foods
- including advice on how to buy, prepare, cook, & flavour them
- & gives over 200 suggestions on how to turn them into easy yet enticing meals & snacks. There are also delicious recipes, each photographed in colour, to show how tempting your food can be.
