Product Description

The "Thin Secrets" are what everyone should know, regardless
of whether they are trying to lose weight or trying to maintain a slim
figure. Many slim people are unaware of what it is that keeps them a
healthy weight and they put it down to luck. Others manage to stay slim but
don't understand why they find it so hard - they do not know the secrets.
More importantly though, if you would like to lose weight and have not had
much success with dieting, give the "Thin Secrets" a go. A change of
approach will be all you need to start achieving your weight loss goals.

From the Back Cover
Are you sick of dieting?
Have you ever noticed how other people stay slim without effort? Well,
you're not alone - 95 % of us believe that some people are just 'naturally'
thinner than others.
How is it that they seem to eat whatever they please and do no exercise,
yet still stay slim? Have they just been blessed with 'good genes', or is
it something else that sets them apart? Dr Lizzie Kingsley decided to
investigate.

In "Thin Secrets: How to be slim without dieting," Dr Kingsley reveals how
to become slim for life. Find out how you can apply the Thin Secrets - and
not only lose weight, but remain slim permanently.
And the best bit? No more dieting. Ever!

Customer Reviews

Returning to "prioritising being slim"
I just started to read this book, but already I find it inspiring. I'll never diet again. I can see that this book is going to on my very small self-help bookshelf. This book shows you how you can change you weight destiny, how it's possibly to enjoy your life and have the figure you've always dreamed of. It has shown me how I've been in previous years a "naturally slim" person, because of stress and nervous energy. I always felt like it was pure luck that I happened to be so thin then, now at my imperfect and soon to be changed weight with thanks to this book, I realise that it was just that my lifestyle was in tune with my weight. It's a definite must read, no matter what weight you are. Whether you believe you are "naturally slim" or whether you've struggled with you weight all your life. I'm certainly going to recommend this book to every one I know!

Useful tips for maintainin a healthy weight
I rather liked this book - it didn't offer quick fixes but it did offer practical tips for maintaining a healthy weight over the long haul.

I'd recommend it because I think it offers sensible advice on getting into good habits, like avoiding hunger, and getting into the mindset that small changes add up over a relatively small amount of time to large differences. It is similar to a self help guide to managing debt for example.

It has helped me personally try and stay on course through having a baby etc and I think it helps you to keep an eye out for other people's tricks for staying slim - because I have noticed that people do have them.

This book is a joke!
I decided to read this book on the basis of the very positive reviews of other readers. Well, to say that I am disappointed is an understatement. I am actually rather angry at Dr Kingsley, who seems to have had the clever idea of making money out of people struggling with weight issues when she clearly has nothing interesting to say on the topic.
If you are even vaguely aware of what healthy eating is, you will find NOTHING in this book that you don't already know. There are no nutritional information, no interesting insights on the psychology of struggling with excess weight to be found in this book. Dr Kingsley basically expects you to part with your hard-earned cash to hear that:
1)even slim people put weight on if they eat fatty foods and don't exercise,
2)and that if you want to lose weight you have to adopt a slim lifestyle, that is eat less fatty, unhealthy foods and exercise more.

That's it! This is really what this book is all about. The same ideas are repeated to the point of nausea (because otherwise, how could you make up the paltry 150 pages of this book with so little actual substance??). Do you really need to be told - in a patronising tone and really bad English - that if you cut fatty foods and takeaways, and exercise more you WILL lose weight? I think not, I bet you could have come to the same conclusion all on your own (and for free). If this is indeed the case, don't waste your time and money of this book.
