about the author
Zoë Harcombe was the first person from her state school to graduate from Cambridge University having won a scholarship to read mathematics/economics at this famous institution. Zoë has worked since in Management Consultancy, Consumer goods, Economic Development, Pharmaceuticals, Telecommunications and Utilities for many blue chip organisations – including Mars Confectionery! She has been most fortunate to travel widely during her career and has worked in the US, Canada and Europe which she has thoroughly enjoyed. Zoë currently works as Director for Human Resources for Dwr Cymru Welsh Water – a not for profit organisation.
What has all this got to do with overeating you may ask?! Zoë was anorexic before studying at Cambridge; bulimic during her period there and spent the early years of her career fighting food cravings to rival any drug addiction. She has suffered all of the three conditions explained in “The Harcombe Diet” but no longer suffers from any of them and knows how to make sure that they never return. She has been free from food addiction for over 10 years and now shares the way out with others through writing and appearances on TV and Radio.
Zoë’s personal values are Health, Relationships, Personal Development, Mutuality and Integrity. She enjoys rugby (supporting!), socialising, travelling and chocolate. She lives with her husband, Andy, a dog and two cats in the beautiful Welsh countryside.
