50+ Recipes to Lose 50+kg . . . And Keep It Off: A guilt-free guide to eating more . . . and weighing less (Volume 1)

Sally Symonds is one of those rare creatures – more elusive than Bigfoot, rarer than a rainbow’s end and harder to find than a dry mouth in a chocolate shop – she is a weight loss wonder – one of the few people who has lost weight and kept if off. Initially losing 45kg in 33 weeks in 2002-2003, Sally kept that weight off for over five years, before going on to lose another 8.5kg. She has been described as “the complete weight loss package” – she’s lost a lot, she’s lost a little and, most importantly, she’s kept it off. Knowing that you can’t out-train a bad diet, much of Sally’s success came from her experiments in the kitchen. Throwing out all the conventional approaches to weight loss, Sally didn’t follow a specific diet, ignored the concept of portion sizes and rewarded herself – with food – along the way. She also learnt how to cut through the minefield of misinformation that most food manufacturers and retailers are feeding us today. This book contains the foods that Sally eats everyday – practical and proven recipes that are delicious, nutritious and expeditious. With extracts from her food diaries and a wealth of tips and snacks to try (as well as trick and traps to avoid), Sally shows you how she became one of “those people” who never has to worry about her weight again . . . and how you can do it to!
