Book excerpt: This book describes in some detail what my husband and I actually did to lose 12 stone (and counting) of weight between us in 12 months i.e. a scheme that worked for us, and one which allows us to eat out in restaurants at least once a week, without worrying about what we consume; a scheme that has allowed us to throw out old oversized clothes and start walking up hills again. So what is unique about this book? Principally it worked for us! I am writing from personal and very successful experience. How many other authors of diet books can claim this? We are living proof of the success of two middle aged people who wanted to lose weight and get fit. But what can you get from this? Well, I look at both short term tactics for weight loss, and the issues of longer term maintenance of weight. I show you how we manipulated certain hormones to control hunger. I show you how we avoided the unpleasant side effects of weight loss, such as anxiety; low blood pressure and altered bowel habits. I reveal how we dealt with the problem of food cravings and lack of satisfaction, and how we staved off hunger pangs. I explain how we dealt with our body's stubborn refusal to shift any more weight, and how we got off those plateaus. I talk about the possibility of reducing the size of fat cells and how it may be possible to eliminate them altogether without surgery.
