DIET MASTERS

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.

SOME MORE GOOD HINTS


HINT: THE BEST WAY TO PREPARE SALAMI

Your first response might be that we should throw it away as it is not healthy or worthy of being written about on a post about dieting. I never eat hot dogs, bologna or salami but I am not a purist. My hint is how to eliminate two thirds of the calories and almost all of the fat from salami.

Hint:1 Never eat salami cold. Put it on a plate with paper towels on top and underneath the salami in the microwave. Prepare it similar to how you would bacon.
Hint:2 The real winners in the 'diet game' are not those who lose weight faster than most, but those who reach their goal and stay there.
Hint:3 If you have a food that you love dearly, but you cannot limit yourself to a small portion of it, such as ice cream, do not bring it into the house!
Hint:4 Don't be disappointed if you have a slow loss from time to time. Remember, you did not gain it overnight.
