1.1 billion people are overweight worldwide. The more we tell them to 'eat less', the fatter they get...What if your body stores fat the minute you 'eat less'? What if you have 1 of 3 very common medical conditions, which cause insatiable food cravings? What if eating less causes these conditions? What if insulin makes you fat and not calories? What if eating less makes you eat the wrong things? What if there was a way out? There is! You can eat real food, in unlimited quantities, and lose pounds and keep them off. You just need the secret of working with your body, not against it. You need to "Stop Counting Calories" to "Start Losing Weight".
Zoë Harcombe was the first person from her state school to graduate from Cambridge University having won a scholarship to read mathematics/economics at this famous institution. Zoë has worked since in Management Consultancy, Consumer goods, Pharmaceuticals and Telecommunications for many blue chip organisations – including Mars Confectionery! She has been most fortunate to travel widely during her career and has worked in the US, Canada and Europe which she has thoroughly enjoyed. Zoë currently works as Executive Director for Human Resources for the Welsh Development Agency – a not for profit organisation.
What has all this got to do with overeating you may ask?! Zoë was anorexic before studying at Cambridge; bulimic during her period there and spent the early years of her career fighting food cravings to rival any drug addiction. She has suffered all of the three conditions detailed in this book but no longer suffers from any of them and knows how to make sure that they never return. She has been free from food addiction for over 10 years and has just recently taken the time to put her 20 years worth of experience and research on paper. This book is the result.
Since publishing the book Zoë has appeared on HTV and BBC television, on Real and BBC Radio and has been in the Welsh and Scottish national press. Her pet hate is nutritionists and government advisors who are still telling people to eat less and do more (calorie counting in other words). She explains in her book how this leads directly and indirectly to people becoming hungry, overweight, food addicts!
Zoë’s personal values are Health, Relationships, Integrity, Mutuality and Growth. She enjoys rugby (supporting!), socialising, travelling and chocolate. Zoë writes regularly for Human Resource and lifestyle magazines. She lives with her husband, Andy, and two cats in the beautiful Welsh countryside.
