Allen Carr, author of the world's bestselling guide to giving up smoking, uses his unique approach to help you lose weight simply and easily in no time at all - in Easyweigh to Lose Weight.

A happy reader says:

'I've found the answer I've been looking for for 20 years! I've done every diet you can think of. My sister urged me to buy the book - and I'm so glad I did! It isn't someone telling you what to do, it isn't a weird eating plan, IT ISN'T A DIET! There's no guilt... There's no stuggle... There's no restrictions... You just know what to do and you know you want to do it and why!'

Allen Carr was an accountant who smoked 100 cigarettes a day until he discovered EASYWAY. Having cured his own addiction he went on to write a series of bestselling books, most famously The Easy Way to Stop Smoking. His books have sold more than 13 million copies worldwide. Allen's lasting legacy is a dynamic, ongoing, global publishing programme and an ever-expanding worldwide network of clinics which help treat a range of issues including smoking, weight, alcohol and "other" drug addiction.

About the Author

Allen Carr was an accountant who smoked 100 cigarettes a day until he broke the habit and wrote a series of bestselling books. He built a hugely successful network of stop smoking clinics across the world and is the author of The Easy Way to Stop Smoking, How to Stop Your Child Smoking and The Easy Way to Enjoy Flying. Allen Carr was diagnosed with lung cancer in the summer of 2006 and died in November of the same year. Many thought it likely that the years he spent curing smokers in smoke-filled sessions at his clinics must have contributed to this illness, but Allen Carr remained positive, 'Given that I am informed that I have cured at least 10 million smokers on a conservative estimation, it's a price worth paying.'

I so nearly gave up on this book. I only finished it because his "easy way to stop smoking" had helped me enormously. This gave me enough faith in the man to continue.

The first half of the book reminded me of a pincushion. Lots of points. Many sharp. But all very well cushioned! Many of his points were valid, but his logic had huge gaps in places. The first half of the book seems to concentrate on buckets, carburettors, religion and monkey wrenches. At times, you can not stop asking yourself "What are you on about!?". Example: he states that very few wild animals die from organ failures because they do not eat "junk food". He neglects to tell you that they never live long enough to suffer organ failure in the first place because they either become too slow to catch their prey, or too slow to escape from their predators; or they suffer an injury which has the same effect. Second example: vultures and crocodiles are dried up and scrawny because they eat meat. Therefore humans should not eat meat. Hmm.

However, I persevered. And I am so glad I did. Allen really does make a lot of sense in the second half of his book. I disagree with the reviewers who claim that he states "You can eat as many of your favourite foods as you want", then goes on to say "As long as you stick to vegetables and fruit." I feel they have missed the point. What he really does is to remove a lot of the lifelong brainwashing that misleads you as to what your favourite foods really are. As a life long happy and set in my ways "meat eater" (or so I believed) I now realise I prefer fruit and vegetables, because he opened my eyes and made me realised that I have preferred them all along. These have become my "favourite food". However, I still eat meat, cheese, puddings, etc without guilt. I just choose not to eat them as often, or as much! Thanks to his methods.

He made me realise I found it preferable to eat pork with apple sauce, lamb with mustard and honey, steak with pepper sauce, turkey with cranberry, fish with tartare sauce etc etc. In other words, if I really liked meat so much, why could i not eat it unless I combined it with other flavours first? For the simple reason I do not like meat quite as much as I thought I did!

Last christmas, I ate so much "junk food" I was nearly at bursting point. But I was still hungry, because my body was craving more natural foods. Yet I misunderstood and shoved turkey, stilton, cake, you name it, down my throat. I remember craving tomatos and cucumber, which I had forgotten to buy. Imagine that! Craving cucumber when you've got so many choice nibblies about! I now understand why, and I now listen to my body, not the lifelong brainwashing I have been subjected to.

Result? I have never felt better. Give this book a chance. It will NOT make you do anything you do not want to do. But it may make you question things you have taken for granted all your life and give you a better life as a result. What do you have to lose? Apart from health problems?

I have benefitted immensely from this book. I read it in 1998, lost my surplus 15 kg / 33 lbs over the next few months and now, in 2006, I have never regained them! My energy level has also soared. The book combines the basics of the Diamonds' Fit for Life programme with Allen Carr's classic psychology on changing your perception of the problem so that it becomes easy and enjoyable to apply. Many of us, however, have been brainwashed to the point where one reading may not suffice. I had to read it 3 times from cover to cover and refer many more times to specific sections. But, it was well worth while.

Most of your negative customer reviews reveal that the reader has missed at least one fundamental point, in particular what Allen calls the junk margin. He goes to quite some trouble to explain that we CAN eat a certain amount of junk food without any harmful consequences. There is therefore never any need to go to a party and sit there resisting temptation. I still use this junk margin, and probably always will! You may, as I did, occasionally find something you don't agree with, but before throwing out the baby with the bath water, why not consider whether it really is a significant obstacle?

I also notice that one of your recent customer reviews (generally a positive one) says "One question he never touched on was fish." In fact, there is a whole chapter entitled "Meat" which begins by defining meat as "the flesh of any animal, bird or fish, including shellfish".

If any reader benefits as I did but still wants more information I would recommend that they read the original Fit for Life book by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond.

I did - and I know I've found the answer I've been looking for for 20 years!
I've done every diet you can think of. I've had my moments of success - but have always felt as though I was doing without the food I really wanted and ultimately piled the weight back on.
At 15 stone I was suffering phsically and knew I'd be shortening my life if I didn't do something soon.
I was told about Allen Carr from my sister, who'd transformed her approach to smoking, along with all but one of her friends who'd read his book. They were all devout and happy non-smokers!
She urged me to buy the book - and I'm so glad I did!!
The first thing you have to do is "keep an open mind". My advice would be that, if you're not prepared to do this, you will question everything he says in the book (even though you know it to make perfect sense). So maybe you should put the book down and pick it up again when you're ready (and stopped kidding yourself, that is!)
The clever thing is about this book, is that he gives you a free hand to eat what you like. Allen doesn't tell you what you should do - I won't go into all the elements within the book - I think you need to read it in the right order for it to "click". But by the end of the book, you've reached your own conclusions, helped, of course, by what you've read.
It isn't someone telling you what to do, it isn't a weird eating plan, IT ISN'T A DIET!
But it does help you to get your head right.
The freedom it gives you is wonderful!
There's no guilt...
There's no stuggle...
There's no restrictions...
You just know what to do and you know you want to do it and why!

Although it's early days, I know this is it! I've lost half a stone in 3 weeks and have found a freedom I never thought I'd find and a wonderful future ahead.
Thank you Allen Carr
