Special offer until 13th May
Recently I've received questions from new subscribers about which of my two books I recommend that they read first.If you're someone who likes to understand things fully before shifting into action, I recommend that you read The Don't Go Hungry Diet first. This book gives the scientific rationale behind the approach of losing weight by listening to your body. If you've struggled with conventional diets that leave you feeling hungry, it will give you 'aha' moments by demonstrating that feeling hungry while you're losing weight is not only unnecessary, it's also one of the worst things you can do for your chances of long-term success.
If you're ready to start losing weight immediately and you want to know the 'how' without necessarily understanding the 'why', then I recommend that you start by reading my latest book Don't Go Hungry For Life. In this book I'll take you by the hand and show you exactly what you need to do to lose weight by following your body signals; from what you need to do on the very first day to how to trouble shoot challenges such as loss of motivation, holidays, lethargy and menopause.
Regardless of which book you read first, I recommend reading both books as they compliment each other with theory and practice. That's why I'm making this special offer.

What our readers say...
"Dear Amanda, I recently read your book a second time. The first time I read it, I was impressed but it took me another year before I was ready to seriously have a go. I am now on my third month of keeping a success diary. I have lost 4 kg, 3 in the first month and 1 in the second. I always have eaten a relatively healthy diet but I have had to learn to leave food on my plate. We grow a lot of our own food and I am a dedicated cook, so it was hard to get used to the idea that throwing food away was actually less wasteful than eating it when I have had enough. That was a big challenge, but I think I can do it now. Keeping the success diary has made me more aware of when I am up to 3+ and I can stop before I get to 4+. I was a bit disappointed to only lose 1 kg in March but encouraged by all the stories in your book and in your newsletter that losing weight slowly is the way to lose it for ever. I wonder if the slow down in weight loss is evidence of the Famine reaction setting in? In the past I would have been so discouraged at this point that I would have given up the diet. But this isn’t really a diet that I can give up, but a whole different way of thinking about eating. The really big difference to my weight loss attempts this time is that I got the exercise component. I never found ‘going for a walk’ very meaningful, so now I park the car 2kms away from the shops or wherever I am going and walk 2kms there and 2kms back, which feels more meaningful to me. I think in the past I didn’t walk for long enough to experience the benefits of walking and gave up on it because it was time consuming and pointless. Now I have lost weight and sleep better and feel more energetic. I am addicted to my pedometer and try to do 12, 000 steps 4 times a week and 10,000 the other days. I really think this is why I have been able to lose weight this time, more meaningful than my eating patterns. Thank you for your work and I look forward to reading the new book when it is finished. Sally"
