My history of dieting
Before dieting 1985.............After dieting 1986
These are pictures of me from 1985-1986 when I lost 93 pounds going to weight watchers, it took me one year...needless to say the weight was put back on over the years. I didn't enjoy the way I looked, I was embarrassed when buying clothes and had become very sensitive about my weight. My cholesterol had sky rocketed, it is now time to try another diet. Long over due I might add. No one knows what a struggle dieting is better than me. I have been down that road many times before it has been a constant struggle most of my life. I was getting sick and tired of trying to lose weight and getting nowhere. I was desperate I had to do something.
Now
I'm not getting older I'm getting better.
I recently had my picture take, this is the first since 1983.
It's been 16 years because I never wanted to have my picture taken due to my weight problem. When this picture was taken I had lost 67 pounds. My daughter Patti enhanced my photo with one of her pc programs.
Visit Patti's web site 
and see the fun she has had with her new digital camera.
My daughter had this picture from my mother's 80th Birthday Party on September 1998. I had been on the diet for a few weeks and had already lost about 15 pounds. I was not aware that anyone had taken my picture because I never would allow my picture to be taken.
In September 1998 my brother and sister-in-law visited from Arizona. They looked great, both had lost a lot of weight and were feeling physically better (he is now totally off blood pressure and cholesterol medicine).
How I asked???
They introduced me to the "Protein Power" diet which I started September 25, 1998 until August 1999 I had lost 89 pounds and had increased my energy level. (I doubt that I could even lift that much weight, so how did I carry it around?) This weight loss program does not follow conventional methods of losing weight.
No miracle pills, no calorie counting, no powders to mix and absolutely no strenuous exercise.
This weight loss program comverts the food you eat into energy not fat. Your body will burn fat without hunger pains. Do yourself a favor and purchase the book.
"Protein Power" by Drs.Michael and Mary Eades. Read and believe the truth of todays low fat diets. There are more overweight people today than ever. Why, with so many on low fat diets?
Because low fat diets are not working, that's why! Make a healthy choice and start this diet. Decrease your carbohydrate and starch consumption, eat more protein for a healthier you. Even if you don't want to stay on this diet for a long period of time it will give you a running start.
Check back on my progress during the coming months. This isn't just a diet, it is a life change.
Many people have asked me what do I eat? You asked the types of food I am eating? When I first started this diet I ate meats, eggs, cheese, some veggies and diet jello. No pasta, potatoes, bread or junk food. About three months after I started this diet I began to add more carbs to my diet. An apple a day more veggies and even pasta and fries. I don't eat sweets or junk food like chips, popcorn, cakes or cookies. I don't seem to want or crave them. After about the first week to 10 days it gets easier but the first week is the hardest.
I hope this helps you, let me know if you try this diet and if it works for you.
I just can't believe it! Have lost a total of 89 since September 25. Do you need to lose a few pounds? Give it a try. Have been to the doctors for check-up and finally recieved the results of blood work. My cholesterol report, was 263 six months ago, which had dropped due to medication from 343. Now GET THIS it is now 192. Was hoping but can't believe it.
No medication just the "Protien Power" diet. I don't feel hungry during the day and crave sweets like I once did. I still have junk food around for the grandkids and husband but it no longer bothers me. Well! That's a tiny lie. Smells get to me--like the aroma of chocolate or homemade bread--but I resist. Yep! Have developed great will power over the last months. Also drink a lot of water. I know people who have been on low fat diets but their blood pressure and cholesterol remain high. Believe me this diet does work to lower these numbers.
Have had to buy new clothes but it is easier shopping for a smaller size.
This diet has been good for my body but even better for my morale. I have developed more discipline and confidence, I feel so much better about myself. I am finally in control of my food choices because I no longer have cravings and hunger. There is no quick fix, it will take me many more months to achieve my goal. It is obvious I needed to correct the way I ate, to make changes that I must follow the rest of my life.

chocolate (recipe below). Pour in to a small pan lined with cling wrap and put in fridge to cool and set.

mg sodium, 31 mg cholesterol, 5gm

Baked Cauliflower

Boil cauliflower until quite soft and mash with potato masher
or food processor. Add butter and cream and
cheese and season to taste. Put into well-buttered casserole
dish and sprinkle Parmesan on top. Bake for
15 minutes at 350 degrees. The original had breadcrumbs mixed
with the Parmesan, but who needs them!
The original also called for Swiss cheese, which I don't like,
so I used extra sharp cheddar, but almost any
hard cheese would do, I imagine. Smoked cheese might be
particularly good -- I had the above with some
veggie Canadian bacon for breakfast, and it was wonderful. The
consistency is sort of like grits, and the
flavor is almost porridge-like.

in refrigerator for up to 1 month. Makes about 2
cups.

- 1/2 cup grated cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- Parmesan for sprinkling
Boil cauliflower until quite soft and mash with potato masher
or food processor. Add butter and cream and
cheese and season to taste. Put into well-buttered casserole
dish and sprinkle Parmesan on top. Bake for
15 minutes at 350 degrees. The original had breadcrumbs mixed
with the Parmesan, but who needs them!
The original also called for Swiss cheese, which I don't like,
so I used extra sharp cheddar, but almost any
hard cheese would do, I imagine. Smoked cheese might be
particularly good -- I had the above with some
veggie Canadian bacon for breakfast, and it was wonderful. The
consistency is sort of like grits, and the
flavor is almost porridge-like.

These two recipes were sent to me by Sandra Haulman, Grand Junction, CO. she also is on this diet.
- 1 c. boiling water
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- 2 8-oz. pkgs. cream cheese, softened
- 10 pkgs. artificial sweetener
- 1/2 t. almond extract
- 3-4 T. cocoa
When I make this, I usually leave out the cocoa until I've poured six servings; then I add around 1 1/2 T. cocoa to the last half and pour that mixture into the remaining cups. Yummy! Sometimes I eat this at lunch and at dinner both--and I still am losing 1-3 pounds per week. Amazing!
Here's another recipe that we enjoy, adapted from an old recipe of mine that included Ramen noodles.
- 1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 lb. shredded cabbage
- 6 chopped green onions
- 1/2 c. oil
- 1/4 c. cider vinegar
- 2 pkgs. artificial sweetener
- 1 flavor packet from a package of Ramen noodles, oriental flavor
- 1 1/2 t. salt
- 1/2 - 1 t. pepper
Stir well until salt and sweetener are dissolved. Pour over cabbage/chicken mixture. Allow flavors to blend for a few hours before serving.
I also make a quick and easy dessert that I enjoy in the evenings for a treat.- Mix one small pack of dry sugar free jello
- to one pound of cottage cheese.

Peanut Butter Cups - 4 ounces peanut butter
- 1-2 ounces of cream cheese
- 2 table spoons heavy cream
- 4 packets of sweetener
Mix all ingredients until creamy. Make a double batch of chocolate (recipe below). Pour in to a small pan lined with cling wrap and put in fridge to cool and set. Once set, spread the peanut butter on top and make another double batch of chocolate to top it with. If you can find the little mini cupcake liners, you could roll the peanut butter into little balls and put one in each cup and pour the chocolate over it. Makes it like a buckeye or more in the shape of a Peanut butter cup.Chocolate - 1 oz unsweetened chocolate
- 2 tbs butter
- 1 tbs cream
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Nuke the cauliflower and onions for 10 minutes. Drain and let cool. Cut and add eggs. Mix mayo, mustard, salt and pepper and mix with cauliflower. Refrigerate. If you subtract the fiber grams, you end up with 8 carbs for the entire recipe. Tastes great.
Baked Cottage Cheese Custard - 3 eggs
