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.

LOTS OF DIETING HINTS AND AND FACTS



A STUDY DONE ON DIETING FAILURES WHO FOUND SUCCESS

1. Some people who had previously lost and re-gained weight from various diets 8 times or more and thought that they would never have permanent success have kept their excess weight off for over 10 years.
2. Many people feel it is harder to lose weight and keep it off after age 40. I am living proof that thin begins at 40.
3.Other people think that to succeed in losing weight and keeping it off requires that you eat like a bird the rest of your life. WRONG...WRONG...WRONG! You can eat three moderately sized sandwiches a day: one for breakfast, one for lunch and one for dinner, along with vegetables and fruit and still enjoy as many as 200 calories for sweet snacks every day and NEVER GAIN WEIGHT.

A FEW INTERESTING FACTS

1. Take calcium supplements with food and you will absorb 30% more than you would on an empty stomach.

2. Food does not have to taste salty to be high in sodium.
a 3/4 cup serving of Wheaties has...190mg.
one tenth of a Betty Crocker German Chocolate cake has...360 mg. (without frosting)
1/2 cup refrigerated chocolate pudding in dairy section has...220mg.
1- 3 ounce bagel has...490mg. (without cream cheese)

WOW: LET'S NOT BE SLAVES TO OUR CRAVINGS...IN THE WORDS OF NANCY REAGAN..
"JUST SAY NO"
