Sally Symonds is the master of practical and easy to apply knowledge for anyone needing to lose weight. She is firmly against dieting and has experienced first hand what it's like to be overweight and get 'sucked in' by one diet plan after another! Sally helped me realize that the diet companies want us to fail at losing weight long term, so that we keep going back again and again in order to make them rich. Eventually, she came up with her own sensible and healthy way to lose weight and keep it off permanently, without any need for deprivation or distress. She has shed 50kg and kept it off for more than a decade and taught me how to do the same. As a result, I have lost and kept off 15kg after constantly struggling with my weight (and being a yo-yo dieter) for over 30 years. Thank you, Sally - for taking the fear out of weight loss and showing me how to live life as a slim and healthy person. You are a true gem!!
