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.

8 WAYS TO EAT BREAKFAST IN A RESTAURANT




THE EIGHT MEALS LISTED BELOW ARE BETWEEN 150 AND 350 CALORIES IF YOU FOLLOW THE 3 HINTS AT THE BOTTOM.

Fruit if desired : Examples: fruit cup or 1/2 grapefruit

1. 1 egg any style
sliced tomatoes, optional
2 slices toast or an English muffin

2. 1 egg any style
1 slice crisp bacon
1 slice toast

3. 4 halves French toast (thin bread)
2 halves French toast (thick bread)
Note: Use a scant amount of syrup on pancakes and French toast or try sugar free syrup.

4. 2 pancakes (medium size)
Q. What should I do if they are huge pancakes? LEAVE ONE!

5. Hot or cold cereal with skim or low fat milk and sliced bananas

6. 1 small muffin: about 3 ounces such as a bran or blueberry. If they are large, cut
it in half and offer it to people who are sitting at the table to share it with you.

7. Egg McMuffin (McDonalds)

8. Half of a large bagel with lite cream cheese or butter

Hint: Order all breads with butter or jam on the side.

Hint: Order all egg dishes without hash brown or home fries as they are usually very greasy.

Hint: If you order grits with your egg, limit yourself to one slice of toast.

Hint: If you cook 2 eggs at home in Pam they total 160 calories. If you do not care for
yolks or want to save calories; 2 egg yolks are 120 calories and 2 whites are
40 calories and have no cholesterol..
