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.

VISUALIZE YOURSELF MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS WHILE DIETING

MANY OF US ENTER A RESTAURANT AND SEE SOMETHING APPEALING AND ORDER IT.  TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO STUDY THE MENU AND CHOOSE A MEAL THAT WOULD KEEP YOU CLOSE TO 100%  ON YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DIET AND YET BE ENJOYABLE TO YOU

                                                        A FEW TIPS FOR DINING OUT

 1.  Being famished when you dine out is rather dangerous.  You tend to order the wrong items and can gobble down rolls or taco chips before the meal is served.

 2.  Don't order something that you really do not enjoy just because it is low in calories and start feeling sorry for yourself.

 3.  Remember some of the ideas that I stress in my posts.  Example: Always request
 the dressing on the side when you order salads; you can save hundreds of calories.  Desserts can be deadly for someone with a very weak will power. Promise yourself a nice fruit smoothie when you arrive home.  They are easy to prepare and under 150 calories for a large one.

                                                        WORDS OF WISDOM

 If you belong to a dieting group, keep in mind that you will not lose weight automatically because the other people in your class are losing. 
YOU HAVE TO WORK AT IT AND FOR IT.

 Note:  Take it from a pro:  it is worth every effort....Lose weight:  YOU WILL LOVE IT.
