DEDICATION
This book is dedicated to the late Vicki Petersen, undoubtedly the
mostbrilliantandwittyAustralianhealthwriterIhaveeverknown.
Forthosewhowere fortunate enough to know Vicki lifewill never
be the same. I firstmether in Sydney in 1981, when I was starting
to put pen to paper. She was at this time a prolific journalist for
many top women's magazines including Vogue, Harper's Bazaar,
NatureandHealth and Woman'sDayandwrote with such panache
and enthusiasm that one could always recognize the typical stamp
ofa Petersen article.
Shehadwrittenseveralinternationallybest-sellingbooks, includ-
ing WholeFoodCatalogue,EatTour Way toHealth, Strategiesofthe
Champions, Food Combining and a travel book on Australia, and
had so many plans to write future books on health and well-being.
The next two offthe press were to be cookbooks called The Lean
GreenMamma's Cookbook and BeHappyNotHungry.
Whoever would have thought that this brilliant and powerful
woman was to become a victim ofanorexia nervosa.
It came as a huge shock to all who knew and read her when she
died in one ofSydney's public hospitals on August 29, 1992, with
kidney and liver failure as a result ofmalnutrition.
It is a tragedy that it takes the untimely death ofsuch a tremen-
dous woman as Vicki Petersen to bring home the message that we
need to do more to help women with eating disorders. We need
vi Dedication
to do more for women caught in the lonely battle against eating
disorders and obesity and the associated chronic health problems
and dangers that they incur. We can change our body weight and
shape in a scientific, safe and enjoyable way without becoming
neurotically unhappy and caught in the superficial and stereotyped
expectationsthattoday's societyprojects:Obesityandeatingdisor-
ders are a state ofmind reflecting a loss ofbalance in our mental,
emotional and physical lives. They are not primarily a physical
disease like a cold or arthritis, which can be alleviated by treating
the symptoms. We need to dig deeper and find the hidden mental
agenda ofnegativity, poor self-image and loss ofconfidence.
The book The Body-ShapingDiet has been written to overcome
these negative aspects in our mind that keep us trapped in obesity
or an eating disorder. It is notjust another hip and thigh diet, but
rather a way ofeating for a vital mind and body. TheBody-Shaping
Dietwillrebalanceyourhormonalandmetabolicsystemspecifically
for your body shape. It will stimulate your entire physical and
mental physiology, increasing your energy levels and vitality, thus
overcoming all the negative obstacles in your mind that have pre-
viously held you back and told you that you cannot be slim and
healthy and feel good about yourself. You no longer have to feel
that you are alone in your struggle to maintain a healthy body
weight if you use this book as a vehicle to travel with you and
guide and support you in your journey to total health.
