“As a result of the success achieved by so many clients who used my approach, I was told to write a book, instead of breathing fire and brimstone about the ‘mystery’ being built up around diet and disempowering messages that only other people can do it for you.”

“It’s not a mystery, not the Holy Grail, and not some secret to which only a few people hold the key – regardless of what the gurus charging vast amounts per hour tell you. Dieting IS straight forward once you understand the principals and get to know your own body.”

“The endless ‘gurus’ who couldn’t understand why I wasn’t losing body fat with the level of training and diet I was on just pushed me into finding my own answers, which then proved to be the answers that thousands of others were looking for.”

“If you don’t feel like changing and don’t have the motivation to do it for you then there’s not a single diet or pill that will work.”

“Without the personal traumas, tribulations and ‘terribles’ that I have experienced throughout life, I wouldn’t have gained the information necessary to write this book and my life would never have taken the course it has.”

“My belief and career has been emblazoned with the conviction that we are all individual and, as such, not one therapy, diet, strategy or lifestyle will fit all of us.”

“It was like wanting ice cream instead of meat loaf, and being told that children in refugee camps would be grateful for the meat loaf. Yes, of course she had nothing to complain about, compared to so many people, but when had that ever stopped anyone from complaining? Happiness was a balloon that always hovered just out of arm's reach.”
