The Don't Go Hungry Diet

Price: AU$34.95

How one of Australia's leading weight-loss scientists, Dr Amanda Sainsbury-Salis of the Garvan Institute, put her theories to the test and lost nearly 30 kilos.

Whether you've tried all the diets but find you just keep putting the weight back on - plus extra - or simply want to lose 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 healthy weight. Six years on her weight had ballooned. 'I dieted myself fat,' Dr Amanda says. 'I'd lose a kilo or two then just gain it all back, plus more.' Finally 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 science of weight loss. Through her research, Dr Amanda found that the key to successful dieting is to work with your body, rather than against it, by never going hungry.

Staying satisfied is the key to beating the Famine Reaction that causes ravenous hunger, cravings, weight loss plateaus and rebound weight gain.

Once you're in tune with your body, a natural mechanism - the Fat Brake - helps you to lose weight and keep it off. Dr Amanda tested out her theories on herself, losing nearly 30 kilograms and keeping it off for more than nine years (and counting), then began to help others lose weight, too.

Now, in The Don't Go Hungry Diet, Dr Amanda explains the science behind her discoveries simply and effectively, then tells how you, too, can lose weight at any age with less effort than ever before.

With chapters on how to recognise and deal with a Famine Reaction as well as how to boost your Fat Brake through nutrition and exercise, and more than 50 delicious recipes, this is a scientifically based plan that is simple for anyone to follow - and that works.

"hi amanda, I bought your book couple of days back, and now that ive finished it, i want to say thank you and share my experience so that it can help others in this "once-exhausting" journey towards maintaining one's weight. I have been in australia for the past 3 years. During my first 4 months, i had put on 10 kg. I went back to my home country, exercised, ate properly and lost these extra kilos. However, for the last 3 years i have been struggling to maintain my weight . I have never really been overweight , and during my the past three years my weight has been fluctuating from 55 to 60 kg. the funny thing is that everytime i would go back home to be on holidays, i just would not understand how come i lost weight while eating everything i wanted. When ill come back to australia, although ill diet more than i use to at home durings my holiday, although ill exercise like crazy here in australia, i would still put on some weight. i first thought that it might have something to do with the food at home and the food in australia. I also thought that it might have something to do with the weather or climate or even temperature. However, after reading your book, i understandd what it was all about. The answer was that went i went home for holidays, ill just forget about dieting, and ill just eat the proper food whenever ill feel like, and ill eat the amount i felt like, so as to feel just satisfied or "elegantly" satisfied. i went back home over the summer holidays, for 3 months, and lost weight. I came back and bought your book and got all my answers for all the questions ive been asking myself for the past 3 years. I just want to say thank you, and i hope that this message might help others. "
