The Do-Able Diet

Barbara Wimhurst recounts how she went from a size 22 and 97 kilos to a much smaller frame by herself, using a weight-loss approach she describes as remarkably straightforward. She was an everyday young Australian mother, not a fitness celebrity, and she set out to escape the cycle of crash diets she had already tried.

Her results are striking: 45 kilos gone and eight dress sizes dropped, all while she kept eating at least six meals a day, enjoyed dessert every evening, and exercised only moderately a few times each week. She never gave up sweets, never stood up at public weigh-ins, and never paid for a gym membership. Her shopping stayed at the regular supermarket, and she avoided packaged meal replacements and risky medications.

Wimhurst is quick to say she is neither a doctor nor a dietitian. The book offers no miracle solution, only a collection of practical, simple guidance that readers can apply to their own routines. It is aimed at anyone who wants a realistic, affordable way to lose weight without drastic measures.
