It was back in 1971 that I started my first diet classes, helping people to lose 
their unwanted weight and become healthier.  In 1986, quite by accident, I 
learned that eating a low-fat diet made me much leaner.  After running trials to 
test the effectiveness of my diet, I wrote my Hip and Thigh Diet, which went on 
to sell over 2 million copies and was a No 1 bestseller in five countries.  

I then went on to write another 28 books on diet and fitness, present 28 fitness 
videos/DVDs and, with the help of my husband, launched Rosemary Conley 
Diet and Fitness Clubs in 1993 and Rosemary Conley Diet & Fitness magazine in 
1996.

More recently I have written my bestselling Gi Jeans 
Diet and the follow-up book, Ultimate Gi Jeans Diet.  
Gi stands for glycaemic index, and the whole principle 
of the Gi way of eating is to eat foods that are slowly 
digested and absorbed, which helps stabilise our 
blood sugar levels and keeps us feeling fuller for 
longer.  Gi has brought a new perspective to dieting, 
but the principles of weight loss remain unchanged.  
My goal was to create an eating plan that would be 
ultra-healthy and Gi-based, one that would work 
quickly and effectively in reducing weight and 
inches.  It is the success of this that has led me to 
launch this enerGi range of electrical equipment.

More recipe ideas can be found in Rosemary Conley Diet & 
Fitness magazine and in my diet and cookery books. You can find details of 
these and how to order them by visiting the Rosemary Conley website

For more information on how to lose weight and eat healthily please read the 
following pages.  Remember, we are what we eat.  If we eat good, healthy food, 
cooked without fat, we will not only become leaner but we will feel so much 
better with more energy, clearer skin and a much healthier body.  Add some 
moderate but regular exercise and you’ll feel like a brand new person.  Enjoy it!

With best wishes
