According to a recent Gallup poll an amazing 13 million people are on a diet at any one time, and the dieting industry is worth more than £2billion. But many of these dieters fail to keep off the weight they’ve lost and a majority just give up. What most of them need to grasp is that the key to successful dieting is actually in your head, not in your stomach and that fad, crash diets rarely have the long-term effects they’re after. This book is not a diet, it’s not a crazy calorie-counting and food-weighing regime, it’s just a set of simple principles that you can apply to your life to help you lose a few pounds and, perhaps most importantly, keep them off for good. With his inimitable blend of originality, wisdom, common sense and straight talking, Richard Templar takes you through 100 clever, cunningly simple and pain-free ways to lose a little weight and consume less energy than you expend. It’s easy to follow, requires no special equipment or adherence to complex rules, and helps you to find ways to consume fewer calories without asking you to suffer miserably whilst those around merrily eat all the things you’re missing. All you really need is the resolve and determination; this book will help you with the strategies.

So, you’ve decided it’s time to lose some weight? Good for you. Most of us know we need to lose that excess weight, both to look better and for the sake of our health. But you shouldn’t have to feel downhearted while you’re doing it – and that’s where this book comes in. It isn’t a diet. It doesn’t have recipes. It won’t make you spend hours laboriously weighing your food. And sadly, no, we haven’t discovered the secret to eating fry-ups and pudding and staying slim (sorry). Instead, this book delivers a collection of simple, common-sense principles that you can use alone or apply to any diet in order to make it more effective. These principles come from Richard Templar’s years of trying many diets, before finally realising that slim people don’t just eat differently, they think differently too. He studied their tricks and strategies, and, by following these simple ideas, he found a way to lose the weight and keep it off. Filled with his usual mix of wit and wisdom, with just a dash of irreverent humour, this clever book not only gives you tips on how to work with your mind to lose weight, but also gives you very practical everyday things you can do to keep temptation at bay, eat sensibly and maintain your ideal weight – without having to feel miserable in the process.
