Looking forward to your summer holiday but worried about stripping down to your swimming costume in front of friends and family. Tried the diets and failed? Well now you can have your cake and eat it and loose weight in the process. Harry Eastwood is a normal woman who works in the food industry. Like many she loves eating but she is realistic to know that you can't eat anything and everything and expect to look hot in a bikini. She realises that busy people are not prepared to give up their social lives or favourite treats to become slaves to a strict dietary regime. So she has some solutions that will mean that you don't have to. She has first hand experience of dieting and failing. One of the largest ever examinations of weight loss studies found that up to two-thirds of diesters put on all of the weight they lost within five years and most ended up heavier! No matter what the diet it is unlikely to lead to lasting weight loss! Most diet food tastes awful and the portions are miniscule, with the result that you fall off the wagon. Then follows guilt, shame, feeling bad and inevitably overeating. Harry has subjected herself to grapefruit diets, fat fighters slimming style clubs and years of yo-yo dieting - yet she is not fat!
