In 2008, a sensational TV documentary series called Supersize vs Superskinny set out to test the effectiveness of diet plans, pills and even surgeries used in clinics around the world and sold over the internet.

The series lasted for over 6 years and out of all the methods tested most failed to work long term and some even had disastrous side effects.

The presenter of the series, Anna Richardson, who had struggled with her weight for most of her life and had tried almost every method available to get to her perfect weight, found that only one method actually worked.

Anna has now become a household name in the UK and a role model to millions for her personal transformation. Using this simple technique you are about to discover:

In a recent blog post for the major newspaper, The Independent, Anna gave a deeply personal admission about her weight problem and how she finally overcame it. Anna said: “For years I’ve struggled with my weight, and I’ve literally tried every diet. I was the reporter for Channel 4’s diet series Supersize vs Superskinny and my challenge was to immerse myself in the world of extreme diets and to communicate back the truth.”

“At the time of being asked, I was a little insulted. In my head I was a svelte 126 lb, size 8 stunner – whereas in reality I was a hefty 161 lb size 14 porker. Overweight and in complete denial. A fact that only became apparent to me when I agreed to weigh myself on camera, for the first time in seven years. I was devastated. So I threw myself with gusto into the diets I was trialling, which included: The Apple Diet (apples…that’s it. Favoured by supermodels), Diet pills (ditto), the Baby Food Diet (beloved by Hollywood A listers), the Maple Syrup Diet (beloved by Beyonce), the Baked Bean Diet (beloved by no-one), and as a last resort, Liposuction (which went wrong). I was by turns constipated, flatulent, hungry and in pain. And after all this, did I lose any weight? Just a few pounds.”

“The change came when I went to see Marisa Peer for a session. It was while I was under hypnosis that I quite had a ‘lightbulb moment’ – an acknowledgment of where my issues with food began, and the realisation that I didn’t want to be a prisoner to food any longer. Put simply, "I made a decision to change." In an interview with The Telegraph (a major UK newspaper), the lovely Anna Richardson talks about how she lost over 35 lbs and kept it off for over four years after just one session with Marisa Peer. Her interest was sparked during the filming of Supersize vs Superskinny in 2008. Anna had undergone a Regression Session (part of Marisa’s unique method), and discovered that her own eating habits were formed during early childhood. Her mother was taken into hospital. Her father had tried to comfort Anna – in her mother’s absence – by feeding her treats, fast food and fizzy drinks. And so a relationship between food and comfort was firmly established. Yet after just one session, where Marisa cured the problem rooted from her past, Anna lost over 35 lbs, to settle at under 132 lbs – the exact weight she had told Marisa she considered her perfect weight. ”I found myself making better food choices, without realising it – it was weird,’’ she admits.
