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.

HINTS AND IDEAS
(How to Save Calories)

At all meals: always order butter, sauces and gravies on the side, and ask for your food to be cooked with very little butter or oil whenever possible. Also ask for small portions. Order nothing deep fat fried. Don't double starch at lunch or dinner. (Keep in mind that a large roll or potato is a double starch). Don't eat rich desserts such as brownies, cakes or pies.

Examples of how to order and eat in restaurants while, "Dining the Trim Weigh".

1. Toast...butter or jam on the side
2. Eggs and French toast..prepared with very little butter
Hint: Blot with a napkin if it looks greasy.
3. French toast...If they serve 6 half slices, share it with a spouse or friend or put it in a
doggie bag. When using syrup, put one tablespoon on the edge of you plate and lightly
dip the French toast or pancakes in it or use the sugar free variety.
4. Fruit is a nice idea with any meal, but juices often add over 100 calories, and are not filling.
5. Never order any salad platters or sandwiches that are mixed with mayonnaise, such as
tuna or chicken.
6. If the sandwiches are large, eat half.
7. If portion sizes are large, eat half or less.
8. Order the smallest steak.
9. If two pork chops are served, eat one.
10.If rich desserts such as cakes or pies go with the meal, it can be a temptation DON'T
ORDER THEM. If fruit is not available, a small amount of Jell-O, sherbet or frozen yogurt
would be good choices.
.
11. When ordering salads, always get the dressing on the side and dip your empty fork
into the dressing.
