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.

THE KING OF THE WEST IS COMING DELICIOUS!



THIS IS THE BEST BRAND OF HONEYDEW BUT IT ONLY COMES IN JULY

I find it in my local Publix super market, but I am certain that it must be available in other states except Florida. One cup of diced honeydew is 56 calories and a pound slice of it including the rind is 106 calories. A plate of the melon encircled with beautiful sliced red strawberries and/or other colorful fruit could make an eye appealing dessert. Add more fruit with a small cup of cottage cheese in the center and it could be called lunch. HOW ABOUT HAVING A 120 CALORIE RAISIN ENGLISH MUFFIN OR A 90 CALORIE KANGAROO WHOLE WHEAT POCKET TO MAKE IT INTO A FILLING MEAL?

Total calories for one cup of the melon with about 5 strawberries, 1/2 CUP OF MY FAVORITE 90 CALORIE COTTAGE CHEESE AND THE PITA would total 250 calories.

THIS RECIPE JUST LISTED IS ONLY 250 CALORIES..NOT TOO HIGH FOR A BREAKFAST.
IF YOU WANT IT AS A LUNCH, YOU CAN CALL IT A "CHEAP CALORIE" LUNCH OR GO FOR THE GOLD AND DOUBLE THE FRUIT AND HAVE THE ENGLISH MUFFIN.
