All my years and experience of running weight-management programmes have taught me that we all want one thing: FAST RESULTS. Most of us acknowledge that keeping weight off in the long term is the real objective. However, when you are struggling to lose weight in the first place, the joy of being able to keep it off can seem a very long way away so far away that it can prevent you from even making a start. My 24 Hour Diet gives you a kick-start so you can enjoy fast results. Yes, you can lose up to four pounds and three inches from your body in just 24 hours.
The 24 Hour Diet is not about creating the perfect body but it is about getting a better body. It has been proven to help individuals both women and men lose weight and shed inches in just 24 hours. For some, the 24 Hour Diet can be just that an emergency when you need to look slimmer quickly, perhaps for a holiday or a special event. For others it can be a fantastic way to get off a weight-loss plateau, or perhaps just to shed a few extra pounds that have crept on over the weekend. I see it as a fabulous, effective way to kick-start your weight loss. Ive created my 24 Hour Diet so you can do it either as a stand-alone plan or as part of a longer-term strategy for losing weight and keeping it off.
SMALL STEPS TO LONG-TERM WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Its difficult to make huge changes to our lifestyle, no matter how healthy they might be. Our attempts to stick to strict diets, for example, are often doomed to failure and lead to frustration, disillusionment and lowered self-esteem. Were all stuck in our own patterns of behaviour, and the only way to change our habits is through making small, incremental changes. These little units can make a big difference. If you introduce small changes one at a time, healthier habits eventually become automatic.
Getting the body shape we desire involves a series of steps. Broken down into bite-size pieces, each of these steps is achievable. Put together, they represent a series of rules that act as building blocks for long-term weight management.
Each of these simple rules is made up of achievable and results-orientated steps and is accompanied by a support structure that works with your brain and your body for you to succeed at healthy weight loss. In short, by playing by these rules and taking the small steps involved in each one you can make a big change to your body.

Steady Eddy you are nearly ready. You want to do the 24 Hour Diet and it will definitely reap results for you, but if you are short of time or getting organized is going to be a little difficult, dont let that be your barrier to get started. Starting straight with the 24 Hour Diet may not be quite the right approach for you at the moment, so instead I suggest you start with the Three-day Cleanse on page 31 and then progress onto the 24 Hour Diet. Youll still get great results, it will ease you into the programme, and sometimes these results can be even better. Alternatively, sit down with your diary, or with a friend who is going to help you, and plan and commit to an exact day when you are going to do your 24 Hour Diet. Dont worry if it is not tomorrow or the next day its much better that you get organized, and then you can really reap the benefits.
