Show litfc 6 Newsprint .January 27, 1082 DIET CENTER OFFERS A GREAT WAY TO LOSE by Dale Hansen Diet Center, located at 162S West Highway 40 in Vernal, is offering everyone, man, woman or youngster a safe and sane way to shed those extra and unwanted pounds. Carolyn Watson, Diet Center Counselor, is in charge of the Diet Center located here in Vernal. Carolyn, born and raised in Idaho, is an expert in nutrition and weight loss. She spent a couple of years teaching Nutrition Classes in Southern Utah and has worked with the dietician at Utah State University. Just before she opened the Diet Center office in Vernal, she attended an instructional training program put on by Diet Center, Inc., where a counselor is educated in Nutrition, Counseling Techniques, will learn to figure nutritional values of food and eat accordingly. As a person progresses in the Diet Center Program they learn to eat differently and in a system that is virtually painless. You are given vitamin supplements that you take that keep you from craving food and you can use many, many dishes from the Diet Center Cookbook, a cookbook that is designed for you to use the whole time you are on the program and even after if you wish. I asked Carolyn to give me an example of the type of daily of food I could expect if I was to join the program. She said, "Well, this is just an example of what you should eat and remember, this is out of my head, not out of a book, but I feel it is a good example of a daily menu, to start off in the morning with a cup of warm lemon juice, your vitamins and a cup of water, then maybe an orange and a bran muffin. At about 1 1:30 you take your vitamin supplements, and at noon, a shrimp salad with diet center dressing, 2 crackers, (keep in mind this salad can contain about ounces of shrimp). In the at about 3:30, an apple and your vitamins. Then for dinner its Halibut fillet and a cup of mixed vegetables and two crackers and then after dinner, at about 7:30, you must take your vitamin supplement and this will keep you from being too hungry, so that you wouldn't be tempted to snack all night long." She added that a menu like this is just a sample and if you were to break it into a calorie counters list, it would probably be about 800 calories. But all of this food is highly nutritional.

Diet Denter, Inc. are franchise diet centers waging a winning war against the battle of the buldge. Diet Center, Inc. was founded in 1970 by Sybil Ferguson and in 1972, they began Since their their franchising operation. inception over ten years ago, Diet Center has grown to over 1,330 locations all around the United States and Canada with new centers opening at the rate of more than one each day and the demand for supplies and essential materials, growing at an even faster rate. When Mrs. Ferguson founded Diet Centers weight control program, it was the end result of her personal quest for weight control, and the franchising operation has been developed by her husband Roger. In 1970, Sybil was 38 pounds overweight, she had tried about every weight-los- s program, fad diet and miracle formula on the market, but what weight she had been able to lose would soon return. Sybil was in poor health, suffering from malnutrition even though she was overweight and it was then that she really started studying and researching weight, its causes and nutrition, and its roles in good health. She finally developed a program, based on sound nutrition, that restored her health and allowed her to lose those excess pounds forever. Friends noticed what had happened with Sybil and began coming to her for advise, which she began to give. As her reputation grew, her program began to grow and she began charging for her services. At that point, in time, her husband Roger, seeing the positive changes in his wife and the people she was counseling, realized that an honest "'service was being given, one that had a lot of business potential and yet could really help more and more people, the bigger the business grew and expanded, the more hundreds of people they could help. So the ball had started rolling. When you enter a Diet Cener you soon know about the Diet Center Spirit. The Diet Center Spirit goes like this, 'It is our belief that when people are treated with respect and ' honesty, they respond in kind. We have attemped to attract individuals into the Diet Center organization who demonstrate these principles in their work and personal lives." Diet Center started in 1970, and originally it was started in the Ferguson home in Rexburg, Idaho, however, now the ' monstrous size company has a huge 20,000 square-fo- ot n, I asked if on this diet you were stuck eating fish, the answer to my relief was no. And after I took the time to look over the diet choices offered by the program Diet Center offers, I was very confident that if a person started this program they would do very well, it would not be a hard program to work with. Diet Center offers a program for adults and youngsters and each are a little different. When you start out you go through a two day Conditioning program, this part of the program is designed to help a dieter condition the body for dieting. It helps lose cravings for DM Center Counselor, Carolyn Watson la the manager of and helps a person wholesome for a taste foods, full of develop nutrients and fiber. This 'specialized diet" cleanses the body and prepares the dieter, both mentally and physically, for the reducing phase of the program. Next, the Reducing phase; this phase continues in the bask program, for a period of six weeks. Dieters are motivated on a daily bans to - help them stay oqthc.prograi.w,, 'After a loss of 40 pounds, if you wish to stay on the program, a dieter must have a physical examination by their personal physkians before they are allowed to continue on the program. The third phase is Stabilization; this is a very essential part of Diet Center's Weight Control Program. The key word is control, those who have struggled with a weight problem know losing weight is only half the battk...it is keeping it off that presents an even greater problem. During this time, dieters are allowed more foods and in greater amounts. This period of time is to allow a dieters system to stabilize and during this time the body continues to tone up and firm up. Dieters remain on Stabilization one week for every two weeks spent on the Reducing phase, up to a maximum of three weeks. They meet with their counselors privately, twice weekly, during this period of time. The last phase is Maintenance, once you have completed the Stabilization phase of the program, dieters are now ready to move into Maintenance. This segment is designed to become the new way of life for Diet Center Dkters are dieters, for one full year. as often to return as necessary to encouraged weigh in and receive private counseling. If a weight gain is experienced, they may return to the Diet Center Reducing Program, free of charge, to lose that weight before it once again becomes a problem. Counselor Watson tokl me that fad dkts are harmful because they help you lose the structural fat (that is the fat that structures the human body, ones physical make up) or the cushion fat (whkh is the fat that cushions vital organs). The fat that a person needs to get rid of it is the Adapos fat, the outer layer, it is excess baggage and should be gotten rid of. After carefully examining the information on Diet Center, Inc. and the programs they offer to men, women and youngsters, I feel Diet Center, Inc. weight loss program is one of the finest I have ever studied. I also believe that with anyone who knows, as 1 do, how hard weight loss is, that haring a trained counselor like Carolyn Watson to work with you daily, you have a much better chance to achieve your weight loss goal.
