They don’t enjoy buying gifts for the sake of buying gifts. They don’t enjoy the obligation of having to cook, feed, travel, shop or any of the other multitude of irritations that come with the Santa Season.

Dr Amanda Sainsbury-Salis is a molecular scientist specializing in weight loss research, and has discovered two areas of cutting edge science that will make it easier for you to lose weight and keep it off.
If you’ve ever tried to lose weight, you’ll know the Famine Reaction. You’ve lost a few kilos, you’re feeling good, you’re doing all the right things…when you suddenly stop losing weight and you start feeling really hungry.
As a scientist with over 17 years of medical research experience, it’s now clear that the conventional approach exacerbates the Famine Reaction and makes it even harder to lose weight. The exciting news from medical research is that you can switch off the Famine Reaction and lose weight more effectively.
Dr Amanda has released her book The Don’t Go Hungry Diet. She also offers on-line answers to questions, on-line newsletters, and workshops.
