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.

TIME FOR A DESSERT RECIPE THAT PEOPLE OFTEN RAVE ABOUT

              CHOCOLATE ONCE IN A LIFETIME
                     (A very rich pudding cake)








 1/2  cup flour
1     teaspoon baking powder
1/2  teaspoon salt
2     packages sweetener
3     tablespoons sugar
1     tablespoon cocoa
1/4  cup skim milk
1     tablespoon melted diet margarine
1/2  teaspoon vanilla
1/2  cup firmly packed brown sugar
2     tablespoons cocoa
3/4  cup boiling water

 Sift flour with baking powder, salt, sweetener, sugar and 1 tablespoon cocoa.
Add milk, margarine, and vanilla.  Mix only until smooth.  Turn into 8x8 inch, pan
 that has been spray coated with Pam.  Mix brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of
 cocoa and sprinkle on top of the batter.  Then pour boiling water over all. DO 
NOT MIX.  This forms a sauce in the bottom of the pan after the pudding is baked.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes until top layer is firm.

 Serves about 6, about 154 calories per small serving.
Hint:  If this recipe sounds like you will love it: do not:  REPEAT DO NOT, prepare 
it when you are home alone and do not expect company or family to share it with
you. If you love sweets, you can easily finish it.  The complete recipe is 925 calories.
