Book Description

3 Aug 2011
Let me guess... You've tried every diet under the sun; You've lost weight and put it 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 weak-willed. You've just been given totally the wrong advice.
This is the first book to explain why traditional diets are the cause of the current obesity epidemic, not the cure.

It shows that eating less leads to three extremely common medical conditions, which cause overeating. This book can change your life. The Harcombe Diet will help you lose weight and keep it off. There is absolutely nothing to count and you can have unlimited quantities of real food - carbs and fats.

Count calories and end up a food addict. Stop Counting Calories and Start Losing Weight.

Product Description

About the Author

Zoë's passion is her vocation. Zoë spends her time researching and writing about obesity, diets and weight loss and she works exclusively in this field. She is author of the best selling book "Stop Counting Calories and Start Losing Weight", which was the follow-up to "Why do you overeat? When all you want is to be slim". The result of 20 years' research into the causes of overeating, Zoë's books go against traditional diet advice and are the first to address the three fundamental medical conditions that cause food cravings and therefore the compulsion to overeat. This understanding has helped thousands of people lose weight quickly, easily and healthily through The Harcombe Diet approach. During her teenage years Zoë suffered from both anorexia and bulimia, which she battled for several years before becoming the first person from her state school to graduate from Cambridge University. The early years of her career were then spent fighting food cravings to rival any drug addiction. Despite her illnesses and ongoing struggle with food, Zoë developed her career and achieved a number of high powered positions in the management consultancy, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals and telecommunications industries for blue chip organisations including Mars and SmithKline Beecham. During her 20's, Zoë suffered from all three of the physical conditions detailed in her books but no longer suffers from any of them and knows how to make sure they, and food cravings, never return. Zoë has now been free from food addiction for over 10 years and decided to put her years of experience and research onto paper, creating the heart-felt, revolutionary diet book, Why do you overeat?, followed by Stop Counting Calories & Start Losing Weight and the accompanying recipe book. She is now a full-time diet guru with a Diploma in Diet and Nutrition and a Diploma in Clinical Weight Management and spends her time advising clients, writing for newspapers and magazines, appearing as a diet expert on TV and radio, undertaking more research, and inspiring women and men world-wide. Zoë lives with her husband, Andy, a rescue dog and cat in the beautiful Welsh countryside. She is a member of The National Obesity Forum, The Federation of Holistic Therapists, Mensa and The Chocolate Society.

5.0 out of 5 stars The results speak for themselves 11 May 2010
Format:Paperback
I started this 'diet' 14 weeks ago as my parents were raving on about it. I had already cut down on caffeine prior to the 5 day detox (I actually did 10 days detox because I was finding it quite easy) During the detox I did have some headaches due to caffeine withdrawal but I expected this and it didn't put me off.

Phase 2 was full of fantastic foods that I'd never have dreamed were healthy - Who would have thought that fat does not make you fat!!!

14 weeks in I have lost 38lbs in weight and over 4 inches off my waist!

It is about time someone took the govt to task about this reduced calorie / reduced fat nonsense they are peddling.

I have never felt healthier in all my adult life and I no longer crave carbs!

Big thanks to Zoe Harcombe for all her research and beautifully easy way of explaining complex scientific principles!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Revelation 10 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback
I would thoroughly recommend this book. I haven't even followed it properly - I missed out the first week having read about it in a magazine and just cut out sugar whilst I was waiting for it to be delivered - but I have still lost 11lbs in less than 3 weeks. A slim friend once told me that she never thinks about food until she's hungry, which I think marks out the naturally slim from those who struggle, and with this way of eating I have found that I no longer need to eat between meals and I don't think about my next meal until I'm ready for it! The science makes sense and the results prove it works.

5.0 out of 5 stars No more dieting great!!!! 3 Jun 2011
By amcairn
Format:Paperback
After being on every diet under the sun I started this one not on the Monday but on the Thursday expecting not to succeed again after all Monday was the usual day to start a new diet after a weekend of "food and booze". Well 10 weeks in I've had my headaches and the funny feeling for the first 5 days of the NEW way of eating - don't miss the tea and coffee now and most important don't miss the booze having had strong "Candida" symptoms I don't have the cravings now. At first I thought there was no way I was going to be able to let a plate of cake or biscuites pass me but they did and it doesn't bother me now. Before I would have at least two or three with my cup of tea and "some in the pocket for later". Weighed myself before starting the programe 10 weeks ago and will go on the scales again when feeling more confident with myself (was a size 18-20 now I'm a size 14-16) Bought four of the books to give to friends who can't thank me enough. They had noticed the difference in my eating habits asking why I wasn't eating processed food. If I could I would encourage all who have been on diets and are still overweight that you should try The Harcombe Diet. Good luck when you do.

3.0 out of 5 stars intruiging concept, ok once in your head.
The notion of returning to a diet where fats and carbohydrates are not taken at he same meal is not new, but the concept makes sense and seems to work. Best of all, no hunger!
