I spent most of my adult life as a morbidly obese person. Until I said enough was enough! I decided to become smart about weight loss. I changed the way I thought and the way I ate and became less than half the person I use to be, losing 170lbs. When losing weight a person needs to change everything including the way they think. My book 'The Thinking Side to Thin' shows you how to change the way you think and arms you with information that keeps you on track. Annette’s books show you how to eat right in such a way that it becomes a healthy lifestyle instead of a diet. Annette and I met when she was on my radio show Amazing Women, brains, beauty & style. When I received her books with all her great recipes I knew she understood what losing weight was all about and she truly is an Amazing Woman. Annette is a passionate and smart author, cook and weight-loss guru.

We discovered your cookbooks while visiting my sister last year. My sister had been using your recipes and had lost 25lbs and looked great. We even lost weight while we were there as they used your recipes all the time and we both came home five pounds lighter and had eaten really good food! We now have our own copies and so do my two daughters and sister who live in Canada, we all love them

My cholesterol thanks to medication and your recipes has gone from 10 down to 4.4 in eight weeks. The lowest it has ever been and I am ecstatic.

I am a great believer in your books. I have type 2 diabetes and had to lose weight and was shown your books. I have now gone down 6 dress sizes and have kept my weight down for the past few years and feel great. I had been taking blood pressure tablets for 13 years and now I don’t have to, and my diabetes is under control. I hope this letter gives other readers encouragement.

After visiting your website I quickly ordered your books. I can’t begin to tell you what a change your recipes have brought to our lives and just at the right time. My husband has cholesterol and high blood pressure problems and I’ve been battling a weight problem for years, plus Yo-yo dieting. My husband has lost 18lbs and I’ve lost 22lbs. We both feel so healthy and wow there’s no getting bored with all those recipes. I haven’t seen any health recipe books in our bookstores here in South Africa that come anywhere near yours. Yours are beautifully illustrated and having the nutritional break down is so very helpful

As soon as I started using your books I realized I had been cheating myself. I am no longer deprived any more and enjoy eating healthy, nutritious meals. I now have achieved my goal weight and my health has improved and I have so much more energy. I am so happy and confident compared to the old me that once weighed 286lbs. I now weigh 154lbs – Annette you saved my life.

I am a 62 year old male disabled pensioner and I had a weight problem. I was 300lbs and getting heavier all the time. I was told about your cookbooks and since using them I have lost 88lbs in 36 weeks without any exercise. I was border line with a sugar problem but not any more so I am very happy, thank you

Since cooking your recipes I have lost 90lbs, almost another person. Thanks to your wonderful books, I have never looked back.

Thank you Annette, your books have been my greatest inspiration to losing weight. I have been overweight from the age of 7. Over the years I just gradually got bigger. I had tried every diet and joined almost every club, only ever with short-term success, the diets were always so boring. I lost 88lbs in 18 months and feel truly wonderful. I’ve never been happier or more confident. I will always use your books Annette and plan on never gaining weight again

My 8 year old daughter Lisa entered your recipe for Wicked Chocolate cake in the Royal Easter Fair. She entered in the children and student section for chocolate cakes and guess what?! She won first prize!!! The judges had no idea that the cake was low in fat

There are many low-fat cookbooks out these days, but unfortunately they have recipes that a ‘normal’ family wouldn’t eat. Thank you! Thank you, for putting out a low fat cookbook with ‘normal’ recipes.

My husband Lindsay lost 55lbs in just over one year and has kept it off, just by following your wonderful recipes. He says he never feels hungry or deprived and I love it because the whole family is eating meals that are healthy and enjoyable. My job is easy now thanks to your cookbooks.

Being a long distance truck driver I needed simple recipes that could travel with me in my truck. Your recipes have shown me how to be satisfied and enjoy eating again. I have lost 110lbs and feel the best I have ever felt in my life.

A friend told me about your books and I am glad she did. My doctor advised me to lose some weight and to give up junk food as I weighed 250lbs and ate too much pizza and takeaway meals. Your recipes helped me to lose over 100lbs and I am now a happy and healthy 150lbs. My favorite recipe is your lasagna.  Thank you Annett e for your quick and easy recipes they really helped me lose the weight and to also keep it off. My husband Jason also thanks you.

I just want to say thank so much for your cookbooks I absolutely love them. I was introduced to them by my sister who uses them to help with her diabetes. I use your cookbooks daily and have lost over 66lbs.

Your books are packed with recipes that are mindful of the fact that not everyone can buy exotic ingredients and don’t want to spend 4 hours in the kitchen cooking dinner. I was asked how someone can lose weight eating the way I do. I say it is just “Symply Too Good To Be True”. I have gone down 4 dress sizes and just couldn’t believe how easy it was to lose weight using your recipes. I have to date lost 35lbs.

I have tried various diets with short term success, however the weight loss would always end up coming back. I am pleased to say I have just reached my goal weight thanks to the changes in lifestyle I achieved through better food choices, portion control and thanks to your excellent recipes. It has taken me 12 months to lose 100lbs and I feel sure that I have reformed my bad eating habits so that I can keep the weight off for good. There is no doubt in my mind that your recipe books have improved my lifestyle in such a way to coin a familiar phrase, Its “SYMPLY TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE”

Since buying your books I have lost 54lbs in 6 months. I thank you for writing such great books; they have not only helped me but my whole family.

I have been using your cookbooks as bibles for the past 10 months. My sons think I am the best cook in the world and to top it off I have lost 110lbs, my husband has lost 33lbs, and my youngest son has lost 12lbs, I can’t thank you enough.

I was having chemotherapy for cancer. As I am overweight the doctors told me to go on a diet, but not to expect to lose weight whilst on the program. My sister put me onto your books and I haven’t looked back. Even with chemo I have been able to lose 46lbs in 6 months, everyone was amazed. Your recipes are so nice why would anyone want to eat the high fat way? I am determined to lose more weight, thank you for your support.

Both my husband and I send you our heartfelt thanks for your fantastic books. We now only use your cookbooks. With your recipes and a little exercise my husband has lost 66lbs and I have lost 68lb. We both feel the fittest and healthiest we have in years.

Thank you for your wonderful cookbooks. They were recommended to me by the dietitian after my heart by-pass operation. They have become my bibles and go everywhere with me, even when we travel in our caravan.

Your cookbooks were recommended to me by my hairdresser who just happened to lose 66lbs with the help of your recipes. Once l discovered Symply too good to be true l kindly donated all my other cookbooks to charity. I also love the fact that every recipe has a picture and in the early days l got very excited that my meals always came out looking as good as the pictures. You have turned me into a great cook and I am proud to tell you that I have now lost 66lbs and my husband Mick has lost 80lbs.

I was lucky enough to attend one of your seminars, I say lucky because it changed my life forever. You are such an inspirational speaker and I left that night knowing I was going to lose weight, get healthy and be the person I wanted to be. I proudly tell you that I’m now at my ideal weight, having lost 50lbs and feel fantastic. Using your recipes has taught me so much, thank you

Thank you for your recipe books. I call them my bibles. My whole family loves the recipes, they are nice and easy for me as a busy wife and mother of 4. I have managed to lose 62lbs since cooking with your books.
