If you’re fed up with dieting, detoxing, punishing fitness regimes, ‘clean eating’ and deprivation, then this is the book for you. 
 
Your days of kale smoothies and chia seeds are over. You’ll never need to take another ‘fat-burner’ again, you won’t have to re-mortgage the house to buy the latest detox kit, nor will you have to force yourself to eat nothing but chicken, broccoli and brown rice six times a day because a magazine feature told you to... 
 
101 Ways to Lose Weight and Never Find It Again is for everyone who is sick of restricting, dieting, detoxing and confusing weight-loss advice. The book contains clear, enjoyable and easy-to-follow habits that will help you to get leaner, fitter, stronger and happier without the hunger and heartache. 
 
Why this book is different: 
 
Many popular weight-loss books just offer a slightly different ‘diet’ that demonises a certain food (sugar, carbs, fat, wheat, etc). These FAD-dy books promote a form of pseudoscientific ‘clean eating’ that quickly becomes unsustainable, unhealthy and boring. Cabbage soup diet sound familiar? 
 
101 Ways to Lose Weight and Never Find It Again debunks all of the fat-loss myths and includes encouraging, scientifically proven ways to make small changes to your lifestyle for long-term health and sustainable weight loss. 
 
Here are just a few of the things you're going to learn in this book: 
<ul><li>How to eat ANY food like ice-cream, bread, pasta and chocolate and still lose weight</li><li>Why ‘detoxing’, ‘cleansing’, ‘rebooting’ and ‘juicing’ are a load of garbage</li><li>Why everything you know about when to eat is probably wrong</li><li>The secret two words that are essential for fat loss</li><li>The definitive list of supplements that help you to burn fat (it’s not what you think)</li><li>Why you can have your cake and eat it, plus lots more</li></ul>
