Clodagh Finn’s diary of a non-dieter

A nutrition course targeting the toxic fat around the waist is not a diet but a way of living, says Clodagh Finn.

LET’S cut right to the chase: I shed 12lbs in 12 weeks, lost four inches from my waist and hips and resolved never to go on a diet again after completing a nutrition programme called ‘Lose Fat Around The Middle’.

In general, I believe numbers should be kept as far away from the body as possible. The route to misery is paved with constant measurements and our constant failure to ever quite measure up to some unobtainable goal. The multi-billion-euro diet industry feeds on that destructive numbers game.
