The 'Symply Too Good To Be True' series of recipe books has been created by Annette Sym who herself lost 35 kilos in 20 months, and who, most importantly, has now maintained her ideal healthy weight for many years now.

And that is to live a healthy life, reach and maintain your ideal weight, and at the same time, continue to eat delicious and nutritious food.
Towards the start of the fifth book in the 'Symply Too Good To Be True' series, you will find a practical '28 Day Weight Loss Plan'.
Annette explains that her plan 'has been devised to assist anyone who wants to lose weight the healthy way. So many times people say that dieting is too hard, that they dont know what to eat and how much to have'.
She then adds that 'some diets are also unhealthy and boring, but my plan will show you how you can lose weight and still have delicious food including the occasional treat. This is such a healthy plan that it is suitable for people with diabetes'.
Annette's advice for using her plan is straightforward: 'Just follow each day and enjoy the plan, it's that simple!'
The secret behind every 'Symply Too Good To Be True' recipe book is the emphasis on healthy living and not fad dieting!
