Why Do You Overeat? When All You Want is to be Slim"Why do you Overeat?" Is the title of a fascinating new diet book by Zoe Harcombe. Zoe's book was first published as a hardcopy in 2004, and although there are thousands of diet books on the market, it quickly attracted the attention of the UK press - as you can see by the newspaper articles shown below.
The first appeared in "The Daily Express" on Tuesday
the 12th of October, 2004.  The second article appeared in "The Daily Mirror" on Thursday 25th November, 2004.  I only came accross the diet in January, which was a bit slow of the mark, usually I know about these things the day after they are released, (someone usually writes to me and asks me if I have tried it!) and I was surprised that I had not heard of it, as when I researched the write ups in the two newspapers, I found to both be extremely enthusiastic.
Diet and nutrition expert Zoe, herself suffered from anorexia as a sixteen year old, and by nineteen was bulimic. Zoe has learnt there are three very real physical reasons why we overeat, and just about EVERYBODY in the Western world suffers from at least one of them. Without following the advice she reveals in her book, we have little if any chance of curing our cravings for chocolate, sugary foods, alcohol and high carb foods such as bread, pasta and pastries.
Zoe explains, "I have suffered all of the conditions that I will share with you in this book. (I no longer suffer any of them and I know how to make sure that they never return). I had the great fortune to be treated by Dr Jonathan Brostoff whilst suffering one of them as a student at Cambridge University in England. I had a test in hospital, for another of the conditions, which was stopped as I passed out within an hour and a half of the test starting. I had the third condition diagnosed by a nutritionist over 10 years ago. I have read all the diet books, and healthy eating books under the sun and have spent years wondering why people overeat when all they want is to be slim.
"I have found the answer. You too can get these answers that will stop your cravings FOREVER".
She continues "Why do fat people we see in the streets ‘let themselves get like that’ we ask (as if they have chosen to be that size).
When we lose weight and feel great why do we overeat and put it back on?
Why do we overeat to the extent that we feel ill?
Why do we overeat in a way that doesn’t even let us savour and enjoy the food we are eating?
Why does food rule our lives?
Why do we have ‘good’ days and ‘bad’ days?
Why can’t we stop overeating once we start?
Why do we overeat when all we want is to be slim?
This book has the answers to all these questions and more. It will show you a way out of the cycle of overeating and out of the binge/starve cycle that so many of us get into. I know that the reason I used to overeat is because I had food cravings that had to be experienced to be believed (but then I’m sure most of you know what I’m talking about). I now understand where the food cravings come from and how to overcome them.
I know that only when I am free from food cravings can I control and really enjoy my eating.
I weigh 8 stone which is 112 pounds (I’m 5’2”) and have been at this weight for over 10 years.
I enjoy eating in a way I could never have dreamt of. I am no longer afraid of, or out of control with, food. I eat chocolate and indulge in Haagen-Dazs ice cream when I want to. I eat the same portions as my husband, who is almost double my size (He is also at his natural weight after previously being overweight). The most common thing that friends and colleagues ever say to me is “how can you possibly eat so much and stay so slim?” This book will tell you how.
Some diet books will promise that you can eat what you like, when you like and be the size you like and you know that is nonsense. This book has three eating phases – the first will set you on the road to being free from food addiction. In many cases, if not most, this can take fewer than five days. The second phase is followed for as long as you want to lose weight. You will have just three ‘rules’ about what you can and can’t eat but you will not be limited in the amount you eat and you will not go hungry.
The third phase is where you’ll stay at your ideal weight for life whilst eating anything you want almost as often as you want!
I have thought a great deal about what makes an a diet workable and practical. My diet is intended to be followed easily by business executives, busy parents, students and anyone else keen to lose weight. You will be able to eat what you want almost when you want. I will show you how to make sure that food cravings don’t return, you will know how much you can have of what you want and how often and you may actually find that many of the foods you crave like an addict right now hold no interest for you in little more than five days.
I feel desperately sorry for every overweight person
who is still trying to fight food cravings on a daily, sometimes
hourly, basis when they would give anything to be slim. I want to
share the way out with you. I want to help you answer the question –
Why do you overeat? – When all you want is to be slim".
"The new diet that can end your sugar cravings- Is this the ultimate
diet?"As
Featured in Daily Express. Tuesday 12 October 2004 I do not endorse any products on
this site I have not tried myself, if I have not tried a product I
will state that clearly at the top of the page.
I have followed the first phase of this diet twice,
once last week (end of April 2005) and once in March, 2005. In March
I lost 9.2lbs in five days. On completion of the diet last week I
lost 5.9 lbs.
My sister followed the diet also in March and lost a
staggering 11.3 lbs in the first 5 days.
Since my boyfriend (Yes, us fatties have them too!)
lost 7 lbs in the first 5 day phase.
This is a fantastic diet if you need to lose weight
for an important occasion such as a wedding, special date or a job
interview, as it really does just fall off you. I do not have the
best willpower in the world, but this was not difficult to
stick too, and phase one is the difficult bit!
For those wishing to lose more weight, phase 2
involves obeying three obscenely simple rules, and phase 3,
basically will go unnoticed because by then all cravings will have
disappeared, and you will no longer desire to gorge on all that
fattening garbage!
This one is a winner.
The book is now available in
downloadable format, there is no post to wait for and you can start
reading within minutes of completing your purchase. E-Books have a
90 day moneyback guarantee, plus 90 day personal support and access
