Figuring out how we're supposed to eat
to lose weight is difficult, even if you have
a plan. Busy schedules make it tough to
follow an exercise regimen, let alone find
time for proper food preparation. Sixty-
year-old Jeff Howard of Bloomfield Hills
is the exception. He was very successful
losing weight on his own program.
"I'm 6-foot-1 and most of my life, I
weighed about 175 pounds. During the
last 15 years, however, I slacked off and
gained 50 pounds. As a result, I wasn't
feeling well and lacked energy. That just
wasn't how I wanted to live — so I elimi-
nated alcohol, restricted my diet of refined
carbohydrates, reduced the portions of my
meals and began an exercise program of
aerobic and weight training for two hours,
five times a week. The first two or three
months were tough, but then it became
my lifestyle; I was able to increase my

metabolism and lose the weight."

A recipe for losing weight doesn't usually
call for eating six cookies daily. But cook-
ies are exactly what helped 45-year-old
Joni Wycinski of Almont lose 50 pounds.
"I had worked for a hospital weight-
management system previously and
knew the ins and outs of the business,"
says Goldstein (shown above with her
husband, Jeffrey Wycinski). "I had lost
30 pounds on my own when I started
working for the Smart for Life Weight
Management centers, which feature Smart
products such as cookies, shakes and soup.
I attended the company-training program
in California and decided to give the pro-
gram a try. I went from a size 22 dress to
a size 12 in less than six months — and
kept it off."
A customized weight-loss program
monitored by a physician, the Cookie
Diet replaces meals with "cookie" squares
high in fiber and protein to suppress the
appetite, explains Cathy Kershenbaum,
program director. "Some clients use pre-
scribed medications to help them lose
weight, while others need nothing more
than the Smart products," she says. >
