'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, a whopping 136 kilos, that she could barely walk to the letterbox. Simple things like playing with her kids in the local park or buying a pair of jeans were out of her reach-the joys of living in a 'normal' world she never thought she would be a part of. She tried every diet she'd ever heard of, but none of them worked.Then she decided to take matters into her own hands. She shed sixty-seven kilos, safely and sensibly, without the trouble and expense of going on special diets or joining weight loss programs. 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!Now Karen tells her incredible story in full for the first time: of her long struggles with obesity and self-esteem and exactly how she won her lifelong battle with being overweight. The Clothesline Diet is the inspirational and practical tool for everyone who wants to lose weight and keep it off, without gimmicks or fad diets.

THE BOOK THAT INSPIRED THE HIT NETFLIX SERIES "I laughed so hard I choked on a donut reading this book."—Jen Mann, NYT-bestselling author of People I Want to Punch in the Throat Tired of late-night parties and all-day hangovers, thirty-something-year-old journalist Brigid Delaney decides to test the things that are supposed to make us healthy and whole, looking (with skepticism) to the trillion dollar wellness industry as her guide. She begins with a controversial and brutal 101-day fast, which leaves her glowing and "giddy," but also unemployed, bed-ridden, and strangely stinky. Next, she tries yoga classes, meditation, CBT, Balinese healing, silent retreats, group psychotherapy, and more, sorting through the fads and expensive hype to find out what works, while asking, "What does all this say about us?" With refreshing honesty and biting wit, Wellmania is an all too relatable book about the lengths we go to achieve optimal health—and whether it’s really worth it. As The Cut's Katey Heaney said: "Reading about all these impossible, expensive, scientifically unsupported self-improvement projects piled end on end, I wanted to shake Delaney, as I might shake myself, were I brave enough to tally all the money I've spent on green juice and witchy crap." According to comedian Judith Lucy, the result of Delaney's harrowing wellness journey is "a bloody entertaining read that leaves you wondering whether you want to do yoga or get mindlessly drunk and despair at the state of the world."
