WHY I WROTE THE CURA ROMANA WEIGHTLOSS PLAN

It all started thanks to an introduction to Cura Romana, made 20 years ago, by a friend. He is a brilliant Bavarian doctor who had then long been using it successfully. He gave me a copy of Simeons' book Pounds and Inches to read. I decided to try it for myself. Frankly, it sounded insane to me. I mean, what would you feel if someone told you that you could shed your excess fat, create high-level health, and transform the way you feel about yourself and your life in a matter of weeks. What would you say? This is what I said, "Absurd, impossible, what nonsense!" That was before I experienced for myself the transformation it would soon bring about in my own body.

I knew even then that I had stumbled upon something really important, a life-altering discovery, and I wanted to tell everyone about it. But the original Cura Romana was a medical program. It was only available at a few expensive clinics in the world. It could only be given under strict supervision by a doctor highly trained in the method.

Like a racehorse at the gate I kept chomping at the bit, longing to share my findings, to write about Cura Romana in an article or a book. But how could I write about something available only to a privileged few when there were such vast numbers of overweight people who could never experience it? Cura Romana was meant to belong to everyone. I was sure of this. So I remained silent, vowing I would not write or publicly speak about Cura Romana until, through some serendipitous event, it could be made available in a non-medical form to everyone. Three years ago this became possible and I began personally to mentor men and women all over the world through a website which my son Aaron and I created to make this possible.

Its success and the depth of what I learned by personally working with hundreds of people of all races, colors and creeds, led to my being introduced to Brenda Kimber, the most clear-headed, inspiring and passionate publisher I have ever worked with. (And I have worked with some pretty wonderful people in publishing in the last thirty years.) Together she and I committed ourselves to bringing The Cura Romana Weightloss Plan… Transform your Looks, Energy and Life, Now and Long into the Future into being.

It's a book that tells the story of how Leslie Kenton's Cura Romana® came into being. It speaks of the genius physician who created the most powerful and effective treatment for obesity in the world. It explores how his protocol restores balanced functioning to the body's appetite and weight control centre in the brain and how it brings an end to cravings and compulsive eating. It reports on the experience of doctors who have long used it. It shares personal experiences from hundreds of people whom I have personally mentored on their Cura Romana Journeys, men and women from Britain and the United States to Africa, South America, Europe, Oceania and the Middle East. Most important of all: This book presents the inside story. It gives you the nuts and bolts of Cura Romana. It tells how you can experience its blessings for yourself should you wish to bring an end to your struggles with overweight.

My writing this book has been the fulfilment of a dream I've nurtured for more than two decades – that of sharing the Cura Romana experience with others who, like myself, have longed for a lasting solution to weight problems yet doubted they would ever find one. If you are one of these people, may the book help bring your frustration, disappointment, and self-criticism to an end, and may you – whoever and wherever you are – come to live your life more and more from your magnificent, unique, essential self. The world needs all of us to be able to do this.
