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.

THAT IS WHAT OVEREATING AND GOING ON CRAZY DIETS DOES TO YOU


HOW IMPROPER EATING CAN BE DANGEROUS
(The following story was on 20/20)

A group of young women exercised every day and ate a similar diet. They looked fit and lean. For breakfast, they would have a dry bagel with black coffee.
Lunch would consisted of a big salad without dressing. It contained lots of vegetables but did not include any protein foods such as fish, meat or cheese.
Dinner consisted of spaghetti with marinara sauce.

YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THEIR MEALS CONSISTED OF ALMOST NO PROTEIN, NO CALCIUM AND NO FAT.
They were examined by a physician and they had the inner body and bones of 80 year old women.
