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.

DEVELOPING GOOD DIETING HABITS


IT IS NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU DON'T EAT..BUT WHAT YOU EAT AND EAT AND EAT

Stop snitching food while you are preparing meals. Example: When you are making a turkey and cheese sandwich and you eat 2 slices of turkey and 3 slices of cheese along with part of a roll,that can add up to 400 calories. Then you nibble on 10 olives and marinated artichokes that are are nearby for the salad you are making put another 150 calories to that 400 calories.

CALORIE AWARENESS OPENS OUR EYES

A 12 OUNCE CAN OF COKE LOOKS SMALL BUT IT CONTAINS 3 TBSP. SUGAR..150 CAL.
A SINGLE PIECE OF CANDY FROM A ONE POUND BOX=65 CAL. 10 PIECES=650 CAL.
WHO WOULD EVER EAT 10 PIECES OF CANDY AT ONCE?? HELLO!!!!!! I USED TO EAT EVEN MORE THAN THAT IN THE COURSE OF A DAY AND MANY PEOPLE READING THIS MAY HAVE ALSO..WHEN I WAS IN MY THIRTIES I HAD TEENAGE ACNE OFTEN.
