about Zoe Harcombe | The Harcombe Diet
The result of 20 years’ research into the causes of overeating, Zoë’s books go against traditional diets and are the first to address the three fundamental medical conditions that cause food cravings and therefore the compulsion to overeat. This understanding has helped thousands of people lose weight quickly, easily and healthily through The Harcombe Diet approach.
During her teenage years Zoë suffered from both anorexia and bulimia, which she battled for several years before becoming the first person from her state school to graduate from Cambridge University. The early years of her career were then spent fighting food cravings to rival any drug addiction.
Despite her illnesses and ongoing struggle with food, Zoë developed her career and achieved a number of high powered positions in the management consultancy, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals and telecommunications industries for blue chip organisations including Mars and SmithKline Beecham.
During her 20’s, Zoë suffered from all three of the medical conditions detailed in her books but no longer suffers from any of them and knows how to make sure they, and food cravings, never return.
Zoë has now been free from food addiction for over 10 years and decided to put her years of experience and research onto paper, creating the heart-felt, revolutionary diet book, ‘Why do you overeat?’, quickly followed by ‘The Harcombe Diet’ and the accompanying recipe book.
She is now a full-time diet guru with a Diploma in Diet and Nutrition and spends her time advising clients world-wide, writing for newspapers and magazines, appearing as a diet expert on TV and radio, undertaking more research, and inspiring women and men across the country.
Zoë lives with her husband, Andy, a rescue dog and cat in the beautiful Welsh countryside. She is a member of The National Obesity Forum, The Federation of Holistic Therapists, Mensa, and The Chocolate Society.
