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.

CAN A MAGICAL CREAM REDUCE HEAVY LEGS?


I HAVE A BOOK THAT I PURCHASED IN 1997 CALLED 'LOSING IT' BY LAURA FRASER

I have been re-reading it recently and it is amazing how much research had gone into it. I am going to write about thigh cream today.

My own memories about this product are that almost every beauty salon seemed to be making more money from the thigh cream they sold than working on hair and nails with much less effort.

Herbalife International marketed the product and named it Thermojetics Body Contour Cream. Someone else made their own version of the cream and named it Smooth Contours and sold it to Nutri/System; the weight loss chain. Some newspaper said it reminded them of strained spinach baby food. Different versions of the product were marketed and many companies earned millions of dollars on a product that did not work. The FDA investigated it, and finally took it off the market.
