PREFACE

The New High Protein Diet will change your life. Not only will you lose weight quickly, easily and painlessly, you will also become much healthier with more energy than you have enjoyed for years.

How can we be so certain? Simply because this diet is based on medical principles, not just an alternative exotic method of starving yourself (which is the basis of many diets). On this system, you will enjoy copious quantities of delicious foods which will medically programme your body to burn fat.

The diet has been refined over several years at our private clinic in Devonshire Place in the West End of London. The concepts were first published in the initial edition of this book in 2002, which became an instant bestseller. Since then, we have refined the diet to incorporate the experiences of many of our patients.

The single and the most important point to realise is that dieting has major medical effects on your body apart from just making you look slimmer! As many people know to their cost, simply starving yourself by one method or another may cause weight loss in the early stages, but the weight always piles back on again later. In this system, because you are actually changing your body's hormones to make you burn the fat, the weight simply does not reappear. You will reconfigure your metabolism back to a healthy, slim option. In other words, you will return to the shape you should be naturally, not the shape your diet has given you!

Most people simply want to get on with it, lose weight and feel better and so that is exactly what we are going to do. For those of you who have an interest in understanding exactly how the diet works medically, this is explained later in chapter 2.

For everyone else, let's begin now!
