Includes 14 day menu and exercise plan and 50 mouth watering recipies.

The Authors

Scott Penn
Scott Penn has been an influential member of the weight-loss industry for more than 15 years. Having battled with his weight since his early teens (he attended his first weight loss meeting at age 13) he is one of the few diet educators who has firsthand experience with weight loss.

Scott started his career in the late 1980's with the advertising agency George Patterson. In 1994, he joined Weight Watchers Australia (which his family had a minority shareholding in) to help his parents grow the business. When the company was acquired by a New York based private equity firm, Scott was made CEO of Australasia and a Global Vice President of Weight Watchers International, Inc. In this role he embarked on a number of pioneering initiatives including the launch of the company's first men's only program and development of a global food endorsement device. Scott was also instrumental in lobbying the Australian Government to increase awareness of the obesity crisis and argue for incentives for members of the public to lose weight.

More recently, Scott, through his business SP Health Co, has developed the world's most comprehensive online weight-loss platform which is currently powering The Biggest Loser Club in Australia. His interest in health extends into sport and fitness—he is Chairman and co-owner of the Manly Sea Eagles Football Team and owner of the iconic Australian surf brand, Aloha.

Scott is passionate about health, especially weight loss, and has always been interested in the psychology behind why people overeat. This passion, along with a genuine and grave concern for Australia's emerging 'soft society', led Scott to write The Click Diet—a back to basics approach which incorporates Scott's experiences with weight loss and what he calls the "3E's" of weight management—Energy, Emotion, Environment.

Scott lives in Sydney, Australia, with his wife and two children.
