"I'm not an educated person, I'm not a doctor or a dietician. I'm just a mum with a dream and I made my dream come true."Young Melbourne wife and mother Karen Gatt was once so overweight at 136 kilos that she could barely walk to the letterbox. Her dream was to lose weight and live a normal, happy life - but even though she tried every diet plan, weight-loss potion, pill or gimmick, nothing worked. Then she took matters into her own hands and shed 67 kilos, safely, sensibly and permanently. She simply devised an easy-to-follow, highly effective system for healthy eating, and began regular exercise - power walking around the clothesline in her backyard.The Clothesline Diet was first published in Australia in 2002. It became an instant hit, with its easy-to-understand message and fantastic success rate for all who tried Karen's program. In the seven years since, Karen has become a well-known face in the media extolling her diet and has tens of thousands of fans and followers across Australia. Her book is due to be published in the US in March 2010, with huge hype from the US publishers. Our new edition will contain more material from Karen that brings her story up to date.

“If diets worked, we'd all be thin by now. Instead, we have enlisted hundreds of millions of people into a war we can't win." What’s the secret to losing weight? If you’re like most of us, you’ve tried cutting calories, sipping weird smoothies, avoiding fats, and swapping out sugar for Splenda. The real secret is that all of those things are likely to make you weigh more in a few years, not less. In fact, a good predictor of who will gain weight is who says they plan to lose some. Last year, 108 million Americans went on diets, to the applause of doctors, family, and friends. But long-term studies of dieters consistently find that they’re more likely to end up gaining weight in the next two to fifteen years than people who don’t diet. Neuroscientist Sandra Aamodt spent three decades in her own punishing cycle of starving and regaining before turning her scientific eye to the research on weight and health. What she found defies the conventional wisdom about dieting: ·Telling children that they’re overweight makes them more likely to gain weight over the next few years. Weight shaming has the same effect on adults. ·The calories you absorb from a slice of pizza depend on your genes and on your gut bac­teria. So does the number of calories you’re burning right now. ·Most people who lose a lot of weight suffer from obsessive thoughts, binge eating, depres­sion, and anxiety. They also burn less energy and find eating much more rewarding than it was before they lost weight. ·Fighting against your body’s set point—a cen­tral tenet of most diet plans—is exhausting, psychologically damaging, and ultimately counterproductive. If dieting makes us fat, what should we do instead to stay healthy and reduce the risks of diabetes, heart disease, and other obesity-related conditions? With clarity and candor, Aamodt makes a spirited case for abandoning diets in favor of behav­iors that will truly improve and extend our lives.
