Description:When I entered the convent, I was eighteen, heavyset, and lacking self-confidence. I planned to stay forever, living an idealistic life devoted to God. Perhaps deep down I was looking for one solution to all of life's decisions and ambiguities while forging ahead despite parental disapproval. But the years I spent in the convent transformed me in many ways. Without "dieting" at all, I practiced time-tested weight management principles because that's just part of convent life. Dinner was a predetermined portion of a predetermined food. The only thing that kept me from being ravenously hungry was dessert.Eventually I left the convent-and fifty pounds-behind. I have never regained those pounds, because my life changed.The "Convent Diet" really isn't a diet at all. It is a way of looking at food and dealing with life. Food becomes a friend instead of an enemy. Negative diets, full of "do nots" and "should nots" may work for a short time, but they cannot last a lifetime.The Convent Diet works for everyone because it's about creating your own personal diet. The key to losing weight and keeping it off is to make your eating plan your own. The Convent Diet is neither trendy nor a magic bullet, and for most it takes some trial and error, but it works!Even now, fifty years later, I still eat dessert every day.
