DIET MASTERS

DIETMASTERS


MY YEARS AS A FOOD ADDICT

I was a heavy eater by the time I was 5 years old, only it was called a "healthy appetite" in those days, and they called me cute and chubby. By the time I was 18 I was a compulsive overeater. At 5'6", my weight ranged between 125 to 149, but only because I spent part of almost every month on some diet or another. I must have gained and lost more than 500 pounds on various crash diets before I turned 40.I could eat 3 half gallons of ice cream a week and 3 candy bars at the movies. At my favorite Oriental buffet I would start with 6 egg rolls and fill my plate (and myself) so much that the owners lost money. No matter what diet I tried, I dreamed of my next “fix”… boxes of cookies, bags of potato chips or maybe a whole pizza.I’ve always been an upbeat person with a good marriage, two children, and close friends, but on my 40th birthday I was feeling depressed. I took a walk on the beach and realized that my compulsive eating had to stop. I decided that I wanted peace more than pizza and vowed to put my extensive dieting knowledge to work. I re-read all of my material on the subject and designed a way of eating that would satisfy me and finally curb my appetite. My determination paid off in spades and changed my life. The numbers on the scale remained below 130 and before I knew it, I was helping curious friends and neighbors. That was the beginning of a long and exciting career founding and directing Diet Masters, teaching dieting classes and low calorie cooking and even self publishing 6 dieting books. Best of all, my weight has been stable between 124 and 129 for 39 years while I eat food that I enjoy.

WARNING ON DIET PILL BOX



My March magazine arrived with a full page ad for a dangerous diet pill. How do I know that it is dangerous? Because they mention it about 8 times in their ad. I will put some quotes on this blog. SUPER-POWERFUL "DIET PILLS" MAKE COMEBACK THEY'RE FLYING OFF THE SHELF....BUT THEY'RE NOT FOR EVERYONE! It is for a two-part system comprised of a unique "Amphetamine Provision Complex" (for powerful appetite control, mood elevation and energy).
Excerpts From Other Parts

These pills are fast becoming a favorite for bodybuilders, college students and overstressed, exhausted homemakers for their energy and stamina-boosting properties (in other words as powerful "go-fast" pills). "While the pills do cause rapid weight loss (no doubt about that), most people buy them as "speed pills."
"One thing we often heard, as we made a study of the weight loss market, is that people missed the mood-elevation and boost of energy that were 'side effects,' if you will of Fen-Phen and Ephedra class of diet pills."
They end it with this warning..."You should check with your doctor to ensure you are in overall good health before considering any of this new category of pills".
