I found “Diet Simple” through a friend. I could have used the “Diet Simple” principles so long ago!
I never had a weight issue until college. I suppose it is a classic story. My metabolism changed and I was dealing with a whole different eating agenda, and – oh, the stress! I gained the freshman 15 and spent years trying to get rid of it.
Ever since then it has been a struggle. I’ve been on a constant weight roller-coaster; I’ve never felt in control but didn’t quite understand why. I read diet books and tried diets and they just sent the same old message: if I stop eating I’ll lose weight. It was so frustrating!
And then I found “Diet Simple” through a friend. I could have used the “Diet Simple” principles so long ago! I wish I had known about them sooner. I know I wouldn’t have struggled all those years. I was an athlete but I wasn’t eating right, This caused many injuries which I don’t think I would have had if I had been following this plan.
What’s wonderful about “Diet Simple” is that you can still enjoy eating good food. I have even used some of “Diet Simple’s” principles for my dog! He suddenly has a waistline and the vet is very pleased with his improved vigor and health. He no longer limps the way he used to.
Now I feel great, terrific. Better than I ever have!
I’ve given the book to all of my friends, definitely! I’ve given away at least 20 Diet Simples! Katherine is very inspiring and obviously committed to the concept of health and wanting to help people.

“Diet Simple” contains 192 strategies for healthy weight loss. What’s one of the most effective, enjoyable, and simple changes you can make in your eating? Simple: Add breakfast to your day. Katherine explains to Washingtonian…
Also, CNN spoke with Katherine Tallmadge about breakfast. Here’s a part of that conversation.
What exactly is it about breakfast that makes it so beneficial? And are all are breakfasts created equal? A study from Pediatrics, published in March 2008, looked at 2,000 teenagers and found that teens who ate breakfast weighed less, exercised more and ate healthier food than their classmates who didn’t eat breakfast.
CNN: Explain the real benefits of eating breakfast. In your experience, have you seen among your patients the same results this study showed: that people who aren’t eating breakfast actually weigh more? How is that?
Tallmadge: In general, people who ate more in the beginning [of] the day ate fewer overall. As soon as you start eating, you start raising your metabolism; your whole body is burning calories earlier in the day. Helps control your appetite. People who skip breakfast — victims of vending machines. The pickers — they eat overall more calories, tend to eat more.
CNN: What about for the people who say, “I just don’t have time to eat breakfast”? What are your tips?
Tallmadge: Everyone has time to eat breakfast. If someone says they don’t, then they should be happy being fat and unhealthy… I apologize for the glib answer… but it’s TRUE!
Scientific studies confirm breakfast eaters get more nutrients for the whole day, are more likely to lose and maintain healthy weights, have more energy, concentrate better, and eat fewer overall calories during the day.
My favorite breakfast? a warm bowl of oatmeal cooked in milk with fruit and nuts… even a peanut butter sandwich with yogurt and fruit, or eggs on whole grain toast with spicy chicken sausage… Do you like lox on a whole grain bagel? How about whole grain blueberry pecan pancakes? All excellent choices… Bon Appetit!
