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.

5 WAYS TO STAY FOCUSED AND LOSE WEIGHT

EACH GROUP OF HINTS WILL WALK YOU THROUGH THE JOURNEY OF FINDING A MORE SLENDER YOU

1. Diet Masters ideas are interesting and effective and you will not have to suffer with eating foods that you do not like. There are no forbidden foods on the program unless they are foods that you cannot or will not control. I try to make losing weight an education in eating right and FUN.

2. So many people who were on other programs ask; how many breads..how many fruits..etc?
MY ANSWER: It all depends on you...If you have moved to a community where all of the apartments had the same floor plan, they will not look the same after you furnish them.
You decorated your apartment to suit your taste. When it comes to food and dieting, there is no need for you to eat the same foods and the same amounts as everyone else. When people come to my classes or to a 'private one to one consultation' I personalize my program with their likes and dislikes in mind.



3. Two helpful hints. If you are tempted to overeat; use some breath spray. If you start nibbling, write down every mouthful you eat in your journal. Both of these hints are helpful in deterring you from over eating.








4. If you come home from work and are tired and you open the refrigerator and are ready to look for snacks...CLOSE THAT DOOR AND TAKE A NAP.



5. Don't skip breakfast and feel entitled to snacking all day long with the wrong foods.
