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.'

5.0 out of 5 stars It sure works - once you've understood it, 20 May 2006

By	Erik - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will you read this book with an open mind?, 22 Jan 2006

By A Customer

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Rubbish to read BUT IT WORKS !, 23 Jun 2006

By	NewLife@44 "Happy Days" (Channel Islands) - See all my reviews

I bought this book after easily and happily becoming a non-drinker by reading Allen Carr's "Easy Way to Control Drinking".

I began this "diet" book with high hopes and expectations, however, I almost threw it in the bin as soon as Allen Carr started talking about a "Creator". Despite my annoyance at the religious element I persevered out of respect for his alcohol method. Unfortunately I found most of his arguments insultingly simplistic and tunnel-visioned.

On reaching the end, I concluded that it truly was a load of rubbish..... but that maybe I would have fruit for breakfast the next day instead of my usual toast.

Its still early days, but now I find myself eating mostly fruit and vegetables and have cut down drastically on "junk food". I still eat meat and fish but find I am satisfied with a much smaller portion.

So what's going on? Well I believe that somehow within the text Allen Carr manages to brainwash his readers into doing things his way, even when they don't accept his reasoning.

Whatever - it works for me - thank you Allen Carr.
