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.

FIVE WAYS TO LOSE 20 POUNDS HAPPILY



THIS IS NOT ONLY ABOUT LOSING 20 POUNDS, BUT ABOUT LOSING THE AMOUNT YOU FEEL IS RIGHT FOR YOU, AND HAVING SUCCESS AT KEEPING IT OFF HAPPILY

1. Get a pen and paper out and prepare to make some notes.
2. Look back on your history with various diets.
3. Write down which ones worked well for you and which did not. (by worked well; I do not mean which diets you lost weight quickly with)
4. Analyse how long you kept the weight off after losing it.
5. Did you enjoy the food on that diet and do you think that you would be able to eat in that manner permanently with a few additions? If your answer is YES and the timing is right, make a shopping list and 'GO FOR THE GOLD'.

SHARING MY PERMANENT WEIGHT LOSS STORY

After going on close to 100 diets similar to the ones that I mention in my story on the beginning of the Blog I was mentally ready to stop 'playing the yo yo game'. In order to succeed it is important that you are serious about making permanent changes.

I looked through the various dieting material that I had on hand and one item caught my eye..It said that you should not go on diets that left you feeling deprived as the results would not last long. Different diets work well for various people, so find an eating plan that feels right for you.

If you find the right plan for yourself and need a little advice from time to time, send me an email with your questions and I may be able to help.
