Rosemary Jean Neil Conley CBE, DL (née Weston, 19 December 1946) working for the company to oversee the expansion of the club network. The Rosemary Conley approach is characterised by a low-fat diet regime. Conley's The Hip and Thigh Diet is a low-fat spot-reducing diet and exercise programme that promoted the idea that it could help people lose fat from the hips and thighs. However, medical experts do not believe that "this or any other diet and exercise programme can help you shed fat from some parts of your body but not others." Dietician Catherine Saxelby has described the Hip and Thigh Diet as a fad diet.
