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.

6 EGG ROLLS CAN EQUAL 1200 CALORIES OR AS FEW AS 120

YOU MUST HAVE BEEN ALARMED WHEN YOU READ THE TITLE. THE FOLLOWING MATERIAL WILL EXPLAIN THOSE FIGURES.                                                 


               CALORIES IN EGG ROLLS


The calories for an average fried egg roll is about 200.  It is all right to eat one from time to time even if you are trying to lose weight, but most dieters have large appetites and could not stop at one, especially if they were at a buffet. 


My Diet Masters hint is to make an incision in the center and eat only the filling, which would be about a total of 120 calories for six.  If you would feel cheated not having a bite of the crispy shell, let's go a little crazy and eat one half of the shell in one egg roll and the filling from the rest.
THE CALORIES FOR ALL 6 FILLINGS AND THE HALF SHELL TOTALS ABOUT 200.
Note:  If you are amazed just thinking about how someone could devour 6 egg rolls I will tell you the rest of the story.  In my Before Diet Master Days, I would finish every drop of those 6 egg rolls and finish my meal off with two plates of food and a dish of ice cream.


As the song goes 'Those were the days my friend, I thought they would never end', I must say, I am thrilled that my compulsive eating days are over and I feel FREE AT LAST.
