Five years ago Sam Pease was fat and frazzled.
None of the popular diets appealed because they preached the same message give up all the foods you love and exercise for an hour, three times a week. That was never going to …show more content…
work for Sam (she despises gyms and is a carb-junkie), so she had to find new ways to trim down.
She spied on slenderellas, followed fatties and developed a diet that allowed her to eat chips, cheese, and carbs almost every day. It worked.
Within five months she’d lost 28 kilos, without stepping foot in a gym. Five years later she’s still a size 8 (and she’ll never be fat again).
This anti-gym diet is a backlash against traditional weight-loss books with their unsustainable food-elimination, lifestyle-change live-at-the-gym messages.

engagements, dinners and lunches out, how
to trick yourself into eating less, secrets on how to get a toned flat tummy without exercising and it allows for screw-ups because let’s face it… we’re human.
This is a diet book with a difference; a fresh and original approach to weight-loss.
‘Every time I failed on a diet I felt sad so naturally, I drowned my sorrows in mountains of greasy food. I recently saw a python digesting a deer and thought - that’s how I used to feel after a pizza-fest. It’s probably how

‘You don’t have to boycott the foods you crave — this is not a food-elimination diet.
I learned, through research, trial and error, that minor simple adjustments to the way I eat and move can result in weight loss. I don’t like to exercise, and I need to eat carbs, chips and cheese most days, so inventing a plan to incorporate my reality was essential.’
‘On average women think negatively about their bodies 13 times a day. When I was fat
I slowly gave away all my mirrors because I thought they were fat-mirrors. They weren’t.
Now I’m a founding member of the Mirror

‘Boozers call themselves wine connoisseurs… well I’m a carb connoisseur. I’ve discovered a way I can still eat a pie in bed without looking like I’ve just inhaled a bakery’
‘One of the many things I discovered while writing my book was that fat people sit and slim people stand. When I was fat I was spending most evenings sitting around eating. I looked like a couch, only less comfortable. Now
I stand more in the evenings and my ass nolonger looks well-upholstered.’
Television Presenter and reporter Sam Pease is an outrageous and bubbly personality — a mix of feisty, cheeky, and naughty. She’s gastronomically brave, obsessed with design, loves clothing (but despises “fashion”), is fearlessly adventurous, and recently won a gold medal for Longest Handstand at the Late-Night
Olympics.
