Rosemary Conley

Rosemary Conley, English businesswoman, author, and broadcaster
Rosemary Jean Neil Conley CBE, DL (née Weston, 19 December 1946) is an English businesswoman, author and broadcaster on exercise and health. Conley authored a low-fat diet and exercise programme, The Hip & Thigh Diet in 1988, which sold more than two million copies. However, her spot theory of fat reduction which claims people can lose fat specifically from the hips and thighs has no scientific basis.
