Publisher's Synopsis
The bestselling diet book on Amazon.co.uk! What is The Harcombe Diet?
The Harcombe Diet is designed to not make you hungry and to not have you craving food. This means that you can stick to it and start losing weight.
The Harcombe Diet has three Phases:
Phase 1 (just 5 days long) is designed to do the following:
- To 'kick-start' your new way of eating with a programme that is short enough to stick to, but long enough to have a significant impact on Candida, Food Intolerance and Hypoglycaemia.
- To attack food cravings head on (by attacking Candida, Food Intolerance and Hypoglycaemia head on) when motivation and will-power are highest, at the start of a new diet.
- To achieve significant weight loss
- To continue to win the war against Candida, Food Intolerance and Hypoglycaemia (and so to have continued impact on food cravings).
- To continue the great start made in Phase 1, but with a more varied diet, which is easier to stick to and more enjoyable.
- To change your eating habits forever. To get you eating real food and nourishing your body and to put you off processed food and 'junk' as much as possible.
Phase 3 (for as long as you want to maintain your weight) is designed to do the following:
- To put you back in control of your eating by giving you long-term control over food cravings.
- To enable you to eat, without cravings, for life.
- To enable you to eat whatever you want, almost whenever you want, but with you managing the outcome.
The Harcombe Diet - what it doesn't do:
- It does not count calories, or carbohydrates, or fat units, or points - it does not count anything.
- It does not limit quantities of food.
- It does not put your life on hold while you lose weight.
- It does not come with, or need, an exercise plan.
- It does not try and get you to eat less and do more.
The Harcombe Diet - what it does do:
- It defines and meets all the characteristics of a successful diet.
- It lets you eat real food in unlimited quantities.
- It gives you three simple rules, to lose weight and stay slim for life.
- It encourages you to work with your body, not against it.
- It lets you get on with your life and eat to live, not live to eat.
I've been asked by journalists - if you don't agree with the "Eat less/ do more" advice - what do you agree with? My answer is "Eat better and do whatever you like".
I've also been asked - is the diet low carb or low fat and the answer is neither. It is good carbs and good fats - in whatever quantities you want - just not at the same meal.
