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.

THE 21 3-DAY DIET AND THE WINNER IS: "THE ALMOST ICE CREAM"

A FEW DAYS AGO I MENTIONED THAT I WOULD POST A THREE DAY DIET FROM A BOOK  THAT I WROTE. I ASKED MY READERS TO CHOOSE ONE FROM A PARTIAL LIST.  SEVERAL PEOPLE MENTIONED THE 'HOAGIE LOVERS DIET', BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, IT WAS 'ALMOST ICE CREAM' THAT WON BY A LANDSLIDE.




      What Is An Almost  Ice Cream Treat?

 It can be your choice of any ice cream or sherbet type product that totals under 200 calories for the day.
Examples:  
Frozen fudge bars, yogurt pops or ice cream sandwiches that are 35 to 100 calories.
You also might enjoy fruit and juice or fruit and cream bars.  These range from 20 to 100 calories each.  They can be purchased at a market or made at home.

                                  JUST A FEW FACTS ABOUT THESE DIETS

 There are so many variations and hints on each and every one of  the 21 diets it would be impossible to include them on my posts.

 1.  If you like the breakfast from day one best,  you may have it 3 days in a row.
2. You have a long list of low calorie vegetables in the book that can be exchanged.
3. Every page is filled with variations and hints.  There are sections with questions and 
    answers, recipes and a shopping list.
4. The book explains that you can substitute the rice for a small potato and the  
     grapefruit for another fruit.
