Lighten Up

The book that finally takes all the agony out of slimming - it's easy, painless and permanent

Pete Cohen is a well-known sports psychologist and motivator who works with some of the UK's top athletes and appears regularly on TV and radio. Judith Verity is an author with thirty years of experience in the personal development business.

How many diets have you tried ? Five? Six? How many have worked forever? Chances are: None. 
 
Did you know that 85% of people who diet gain the weight again as soon as the diet is over? 
 
Did you know that most diet programmes have a long-term success rate of only 5-15%? 
 
Did you know that 80% of people who have followed that Lighten Up programme have achieved their ideal size and weight and, what's more a year later, they've kept it! 
 
So the Lighten Up programme must be agony, correct? Absolutely not. By dealing honestly and sympathetically with your relationship with food, cutting out the obsessive calorie-counting and frantic workouts that make dieting so painful, learning a new way of eating and following this easy-to-follow, lifestyle-friendly programme, it's simple to conquer the hold food has over you - and lose weight forever.

The Four-Week Weight Loss Plan

In April 2001 Century published Lighten Up, an eight-week plan developed by the company behind the most successful slimming programme in the UK: the average success rate for a diet programme is only 5%. However a stunning 67% of people who've followed the Lighten Up course not only achieved their target weight but - a year later - had kept the weight off. 
 
Now, the team are back with the Four-Week Weight Loss Plan: the same principles, the same success rate, but in a four-week course designed to give you everything you need to get the body you want forever in just 28 days...
