I realised at once that Allen Carr had devised a method that could help millions of people all over the world and wrote to him asking to join him in his mission. In 1989 I had the truly extraordinary experience of stopping smoking easily, painlessly and permanently at Allen Carr’s centre. That all changed after I became involved with Allen Carr’s Easyway. I was so unhappy with my body and so miserable that I was unable to solve the problem that it eventually affected me psychologically and I suffered from various eating disorders. Willpower didn’t help: for over twenty years my weight went up and down depending on whether I was following a diet or indulging myself. I felt I deserved to reward myself with the odd chocolate bar or cheese sandwich between meals and so the weight crept back up.įrom that time until the age of 35, I fought a continuous battle against weight gain, trying all sorts of diets. And as I lost weight, my motivation to keep to the diet weakened. I felt a slave to the diet and found my reserves of willpower gradually being depleted as the lure of forbidden foods increased. Each morning I would wake up thinking about what I was going to allow myself to eat that day. However, after the initial novelty had worn off, the whole process began to get me down. Even the powdered milk, which initially tasted truly awful, soon became perfectly palatable. I was surprised at how easy it was to get used to the new foods I was forcing myself to eat. I followed the strict regime: weighing everything I ate using low-calorie powdered milk in my low-calorie cereal carefully ensuring that I didn’t exceed the meagre rations of butter, cheese and other high-calorie luxuries allowed. By the age of thirteen the situation had got so out of hand that my father took me to Weight Watchers®.
What I remember most about my early years at school was being teased mercilessly in the playground because I was fat. In 2006, Allen was diagnosed with lung cancer and passed away that November handing responsibility for Easyway over to his closest and most trusted colleagues. His Easyway method has been successfully applied to a host of issues including weight control, alcohol and other addictions and fears. A vast majority of those happy non-smokers became aware of the method as a result of personal recommendation from their friends, family, and colleagues.Īllen Carr is now recognised as the world's leading expert on helping smokers to quit and has sold over 16 million books on the topic. Allen Carr's Easyway books, online video programmes, and live group seminars have helped an estimated 50 million smokers worldwide. He realised that he had discovered what the world had been waiting for - the Easy Way to Stop Smoking - and embarked on a mission to help cure the world's smokers.Įasyway has grown to become a global phenomenon with seminar centres in 150+ cities in more than 50 countries around the world. In 1983, after countless failed attempts to quit, he went from 100 cigarettes a day to zero without suffering withdrawal pangs, without using willpower and without gaining weight. Allen Carr (1934-2006) was a chain-smoker for over 30 years.
