The scientifically based way to lose weight and keep it off forever. Whether you've tried all the diets but find you just keep putting the weight back on -plus extra- or simply want to lose the weight and keep it off forever, this is the book for you, with real solutions based on real science. Like many women, Dr Amanda Sainsbury-Salis began dieting in her teens despite being a normal weight. Over the next few years she tried all kinds of diets and six years on her weight had ballooned; she was now obese. 'I dieted myself fat,' Dr Sainsbury-Salis says. 'I'd lose a kilo or two, then just gain it all back plus more.' She also fell prey to binge eating, pigging out on pastries in between her dieting attempts. When in despair she finally gave up dieting, she decided to start a career in medical research so that she could find an effective way to lose weight. Today she is a world leader in the field of weight loss. Through her research, she discovered that the key to successful dieting is to understand how your brain regulates your weight and work with it, rather than against it, by never going hungry. Staying satisfied is the key to beating the 'famine reaction,' your body's way of protecting itself when you diet from what it perceives as a life-threatening food shortage. Once in tune with your body, it's easy to lose weight and keep it off. Amanda tested her theories out on herself, losing nearly 30 kilograms and keeping it off for more than nine years (and counting), then helped her husband to lose 20 kilograms. Now, in The Don't Go Hungry Diet, Dr Sainsbury-Salis explains the science behind her discoveries simply and effectively, then tells you how you, too, can lose weight more effectively and with less effort than ever before. With chapters on how to recognise and deal with a famine reaction and other scientific breakthroughs as well as on nutrition and exercise, plus 50 delicious recipes, this is a scientifically based plan that is simple for anyone to follow - and that works.

The Holy Grail is here if you are looking for it,
By Blake (Huntington beach, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Don't Go Hungry Diet (Paperback)
Over the past 25 years I have been training clients in bodybuilding, fitness, and martial arts. In the diet arena I have often felt uncomfortable giving the same standard industry "advice" about eating 6 meals a day, not eating carbs, no food after 7.30pm, the list goes on....This is because of the massive variation in results witnessed with different clients under the same advice. Dr Amanda's book clarifies and destroys many of these myths with hardcore scientific research and real world testing.
If you are struggling with your weight you must buy this book immediately. Grab a highlighter and read it until you understand the content well enough to teach it. Once you learn how to tune into your body's signals you will be on the road to success. Readers will also discover that if you arrive at your goal weight by sheer willpower you will have inadvertently turned your body into a super efficient fat storing machine. You may win the battle but will lose the war big time. In other words you will ultimately get fatter and fatter. Not surprisingly, as determined as you may be to stick to your "diet" when you go up against millions of years of evolutionary development you will ultimately fail. The book will show you how to prevail by working with your body rather than against it. No fuzzy new age theories here. The author is not a celebrity trainer to the stars, she is a is a molecular scientist with a PhD from the University of Geneva, Switzerland, who has spent her professional life in this area of research. This stuff is all backed by hard science and based on how our bodies actually work. A word of warning. The primary concepts taught in this book are very simple but can be easily misunderstood by anybody simply skimming through the book. Yes, you will never go hungry on this diet but first you must get back in tune with your own physical signals. Some chronic dieters have lost touch with their natural signals and re-acquainting yourself with them is a key component of Dr Amanda's approach.Detailed steps are provided. The book is clearly written, thoroughly researched and referenced. If you want to lose weight all you have to do is read it thoroughly and apply the method diligently. 5 stars

The Only "Diet" Book I'd Ever Recommend,
This review is from: The Don't Go Hungry Diet (Paperback)
When I read this book, I knew it was something I was looking for - based on evolutionary theory. No, I'm not affiliated with Dr. Amanda in anyway and am not a paid reviewer.
This is the first "diet" book which truly gives you the information (power) back to make your own decisions. This book helps reconnect you to your body and its signals of hunger and satiety. We live so far from what our bodies are telling us, that its no wonder we're having such difficulty with weight issues. We crave nutrients, not volume. Don't ever read another diet article about will power or motivation. You won't need it. Don't ever read another about counting calories. Just read this book and take back the ability to listen to your own body. I've already shared my copy with friends. Work with your body, stop beating yourself up, and be patient. This is the guide to a lifestyle you have been looking for.

Here is the answer you have been looking for,
By
This review is from: The Don't Go Hungry Diet (Paperback)
I have read all of the diet books, and have lost the same weight over and over in the last 15-20 years. I stumbled across this book when I was feeling myself losing my will power after a 6 month period of calorie counting and regular exercise. I was stuck and just couldn't lose anymore. I read this book and followed it's deceptively simple concepts and am very slowly losing the last few pounds without any calorie counting, just truly tuning into my body and exercising. It is something I feel I can do for the rest of my life, because it is about what is within me, not about following some program until I just can't anymore. I do not work for the author in any way, but I have corresponded with her. She is kind and caring, and she is really onto something you have not read about in any other book. Buy it, read it two or three times until you really get it.
