for healthy cruisers
Cruising Without the Weight Gain – Cruise Yourself Slim, is about wonderful food and alcohol, beautifully presented, in often luxurious restaurants; it’s about being on holiday and overindulging and the resulting underbelly of cruising, the inevitable weight gain that so many people who have enjoyed a cruise holiday often seem to experience.
This book guarantees that your next cruise really can be different. Cruising Without the Weight Gain is possible. Authors Martin & Marion Shirran are cruise lovers who, coincidentally, have devoted the last ten years to successfully helping people around the world achieve permanent weight loss, using their Gastric Mind Band therapy.
The book includes a contribution by Sarah Price: she lost 140 pounds with the Shirrans, and has since been on numerous cruises without gaining any weight. Her success story has been featured many times in global media…
Visit the Gastric Mind Band website to read more about the Shirrans’ psychological approach to weight loss, which was developed at their Elite Clinic in Spain.
Co-written by Fiona Graham, the book is the result of hundreds of hours of talking with and interviewing fellow cruisers: it includes unique data collected from one of the largest polls of cruisers ever undertaken, along with information supplied by many of the leading global cruise lines on the subject of food and weight gain.
The foreword of Cruise Yourself Slim was written by keen cruiser Dr. Graham Sceats, a Sydney-based Cardiologist.
A chapter features behind the scenes, below deck input, much of it unpublished, supplied by Brian Bruns, an ex cruise line maître d’ and author of ‘Cruise Confidential’.
Additional input and assistance was provided by Patsy Morgan, Senior Lecturer in Cruise Tourism at Southampton University in the UK.
This is not a diet book, nor is it a guide to cruising; this book is about how it could be different, resulting in healthy cruising.
“ Cruise Yourself Slim is a ‘must-have’ book for those who are planning a cruise holiday, filled with supportive information that will help you to avoid the pitfalls of putting on weight prior, during and after the cruise”
Patsy Morgan – Senior Lecturer in Cruise Tourism, Southampton Solent University.

The New Partner Programme for doctors prescribing GLP-1 receptor agonists. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has mandated that these weight-loss medications be prescribed in conjunction with a behavioural change programme. Similarly, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in the United Kingdom advocates a multifaceted approach to weight management. NICE recommends that weight-loss medications be integrated into a comprehensive weight management programme. These recommendations aim to ensure that patients not only lose weight but also adopt healthier lifestyle habits, which is crucial for maintaining their weight loss in the long term.

The book will appeal to everyone thinking about taking a cruise holiday, and will also be of equal interest to past cruisers. The sixteen chapters of Cruise Yourself Slim are packed with ‘Must-Have’ information around the subject of on board food and drink and the resulting weight gain so often experienced by cruisers, the book features a number of ‘Takeaways’ guaranteed to prove invaluable to readers.
One of the most popular topics discussed among cruisers is around the often inevitable weight gain experienced during their vacation; it is reported that many cruisers can gain as much as 2lb per day.Cruise Yourself Slim will give cruisers ‘The Edge’ showing them how they really can enjoy their cruise holiday, but return home at a similar weight to when they left.
Three chapters of the book are exclusively dedicated to a number of tried and proven pre, during and post-cruise techniques, designed to ensure minimal, or zero, weight gain. Devil in a Cocktail Glass, is the chapter covering in-depth aspects around alcohol and also the part it plays in weight gain.
The unique information contained in the chapters written by Brian Bruns and Patsy Morgan further enhance the reader’s experience. Brian Bruns is a former cruise ship maître d’, and his experiences on board, both above and below decks, were charted in his best-selling book ‘Cruise Confidential.’ Cruise tourism lecturer, Patsy Morgan, is currently working on a thought-provoking PhD, focussing on how the whole cruise experience might differ quite significantly for people, depending on their weight and size.
Information concerning the latest research in Neuroplasticity, Unit Bias & Time Perception as used in the GMB treatment, is also featured.
“Nobody ever willingly gains weight—except on a cruise, of course, where preparation includes sun block and an extra set of larger clothes. The variety of food, the quality, and certainly the quantity, are staggering: how ships provide it, is fascinating, and how passengers receive it, is dumbfounding. ‘Cruise Yourself Slim’ is a must-read before any cruise, helping readers walk away with a tan, not a waddle!”

Gastric Mind Band® – Martin and Marion Shirran with Fiona Graham
The idea of using the subconscious, rather than invasive gastric band surgery, to convince people they can eat no more than a fraction of their stomach’s normal capacity – Gastric Mind Band the book caught the public’s imagination.
The unusual therapy underpins CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) NLP (Neuro–Linguistic Programming) and Hypnotherapy – in the form of self-hypnosis – to ensure readers actually start changing their whole relationship with food permanently, rather than simply opting for a short–term ‘diet’-type solution. Published by Hay House in 2013.
Pause Button Therapy® – Martin and Marion Shirran with Fiona Graham 
How helpful would it be if we could occasionally just pause, freeze time for a few moments and consider the consequences of the actions we are about to take?
Pause Button Therapy the book is a proven, innovative and interactive therapy technique that allows you to do exactly this, empowering you to break free from negative habits and unconscious responses. PBT is based on an incredibly simple idea, but can be used for a whole host of issues. It provides additional thinking time, allowing a person to consider the potential outcomes of their actions and adjust their behaviour accordingly.
PBT has been hugely successful in the treatment of everything from addictions and weight issues to depression, anxiety and relationship problems. The book shows readers the many ways in which they can use the technique to transform their experiences of life. Published by Hay House in 2012.
