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.

I'M SO HAPPY, OH SO HAPPY

IN MY SEMI RETIREMENT, I AM GOING TO SOME ONE'S NEARBY HOME TEACHING TWO LOVELY PEOPLE HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT ON MY PROGRAM.   

                                 THEIR NAMES ARE RETHA AND BRIAN

 Retha had been on a very strict dieting program and lost 50 pounds, but regained it quicker than she had lost it, as soon as she stopped attending the class because she disliked the required food. At this point, she is not exercising but plans to begin again soon. 

 Brian is a young man who is very active, but his downfall is his career as a chef. He plans to change his way of overeating and learn how to resist temptation.  

 Retha was feeling low after her first week of  dieting after following my regular program and losing 1 1/2 pounds. The second week she lost the same for a total of 3 pounds.  I reminded her that she had been enjoying the food on my program and if she lost even on pound each week  she would lose a total of 54 pounds a year while she was eating foods that she enjoyed.

 Brian wanted to lose a total of 20 to 25 pounds.  The first week he lost 8 pounds  followed by 1 pound the second week.

                                    VERY HAPPY ENDING FOR THE THREE OF US

 I decided to give them an interesting diet that I devised called  "THE PIED PIPER DIET".  It has several rules and regulations which many people can relate to; but it also has many meal choices and is well balanced.  I EVEN HAND THEM A CONTRACT THAT THEY SIGN FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS.

 Retha was thrilled with the 6 1/2 pound loss on the third week without exercising, for a total of 9 pounds.

 Brian lost 4 1/2 pounds on the third week for a total of 13 1/2 pounds.
