Diets fads and fancies can be so frustrating for a Personal Chef.

Macro biotic, Micro biotic, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Food free…you name it someone will ask for it. Usually at the last minute when you have done all the marketing, because one guest has decided to give up something for some reason, or only eat egg white omelet or the latest fad.

Those who have food intolerance are fine they always tell you way in advance but the ‘faddies’ are usually just people who eat far too much of the wrong thing and need to lose a bit of weight.

Every Personal Chef should be a corset marketeer!


A good corset is far better than any diet. You can lose inches off the waist immediately and within weeks it becomes permanent. A properly fitting corset is glamorous, good for your back, therefore making you more inclined to walk or cycle. It puts all your bits back in the right place, and they are available for men too!
Your posture improves immediately and so does your self esteem.

As the intake of food and drink is restricted you automatically eat better. You do not feel hungry at all. Just remember to take your water allowance half before wearing and half after you take it off. Little sips during the day or night are better than great glassfuls because you will feel bloated and have to get out of the corset quick if you indulge.

I bought two waist cinches a month ago…they were about two inches too small for me. I struggled to get them on. However today I have to order more . Two sizes smaller! Not only that I have treated myself to a beautiful burgundy satin hour glass Victorian corset so I can wear a strapless dress to an event in the near future.

Far more exciting than fad dieting and results are so spectacular I am dancing on air!

I think I will put corset pictures on my brochures instead of diet lists in future.

One thing about corsets is that any weight you lose stays off unlike the double whammy dieting does to you…if you feel you have overdone the eating just put a tight one on for the day…works every time.

Get a set of corsets for every occasion, make them a daily habit for at least 8 hours and start enjoying real food and life again.

If you are slim look for the beautiful bridal corsets. If you are fuller in the figure then find Juno and big corset sites. Avoid the Goth and glamour sites because the corsets there are rubbish and only for show.

A good boned corset beautifully made will cost around £90-£150 and a really superb fitted one will be around £450. Not worth it until you have reached your desired waist and shape. For mens corsets look under slimming corsets and waist cinches.
