Atlanta Housewife Ad By Green Tree Press

Atlanta Housewife Investigated And Almost Arrested For Losing 73 Pounds

Did you ever notice that when you're fat, people actually stare at you while you eat. It's as if they want to tap you on the shoulder and say, "If you wouldn't eat that stuff, you wouldn't be so fat!"

Hello. My name is Kate Maldoney. You don't know me from Adam. But I'm a real person. I live near Sandy Springs, Georgia. And, up until two years ago, I was the fat lady that everyone was staring at. I was too tired to go out with my friends at night. I was even embarrassed to go out on weekends by myself. I waddled when I walked. I sweat when I ate. I wore anything loose that would hang straight down and wouldn't cling. I couldn't even cross my legs. I wasn't just "overweight." I was fat. I was 5'4" and weighed 202 pounds. I went to my doctor for help. But I wasn't optimistic. During the past seven years I had tried 16 different diets. One by one. And I failed at all of them. My doctor listened to me very carefully and then recommended an entirely different program. This wasn't a "diet." It was a unique new weight-loss program researched by a team of bariatric physicians — specialists who treat the severely obese. The program itself was developed by Dr. James Cooper of Atlanta, Georgia. I started the program on May 17th. Within the first four days, I only lost three pounds. So I was disappointed. But during the three weeks that followed, my weight began to drop. Rapidly. Within the next 196 days, I went from 202 pounds to 129 pounds. The reason the program worked was simple: I was always eating. I could eat six times every day. So I never felt deprived. Never hungry. I could snack in the afternoon. Snack before dinner. I could even snack at night while I was watching TV. How can you eat so much and still lose weight? The secret is not in the amount of food you eat. It's in the prescribed combination of foods you eat in each 24-hour period. Nutritionally dense portions of special fiber, unrefined carbohydrates, and certain proteins that generate a calorie-burning process that continues all day long — a complete 24-hour fat-reduction cycle. Metabolism is evened out, so fat is burned away around the clock. Not just in unhealthy spurts like many diets. That's why it lets you shed pounds so easily. Without hunger. Without nervousness. And it's all good wholesome food. No weird stuff. You'll enjoy a variety of meats, chicken, fish, vegetables, potatoes, pasta, sauces — plus your favorite snacks. Lots of snacks. This new program must be the best kept secret in America. Because, up until now, it's only been available to doctors. No one else. In fact, the Clinic-30 Program has been used by 142 doctors in the U.S. and Canada to treat more than 9,820 patients. So it's doctor-tested. And proven. This is the first time it's been available to the public. There are other benefits too ... There are no amphetamines. No drugs of any kind. No pills. No powders. No chalky-tasting drinks to mix. Everything's at your local supermarket. No special foods to buy. There's no strenuous exercise program. You don't count calories. Just follow the program. It's easy. It's low in sodium, so you don't hold water. You eat the foods you really enjoy. Great variety. Great taste. You can dine out. There's no ketosis. No bad breath odor. But here's the best part ... Once you lose the weight, you can keep it off. Permanently! Because you're not hungry all the time. Let's face it. We all have "eating lifestyles." Our eating habits usually include three meals a day. Plus two or three snacks. We all love snacks. Especially at night. But most diets force us to change all that. And that's why they fail! The Clinic-30 Program lets you continue your normal eating lifestyle. You can eat six times a day. You can snack when you wish. So, when you lose the weight, you can keep it off. For good. Because no one's forcing you to change. Here are some other patients from Georgia who entered Dr. Cooper's Clinic-30 Program with me ... Reverend Donald F. is a 42-year-old minister who went from 227 to 179 in just four months. "In spite of church suppers, I've lost almost 50 pounds in four months and I'm not having a rebound gain." Renate M. was a G.I. bride from Germany who went from 212 to 140.2 in 8½ months. "I believe I was a participant in every weight-reducing plan there ever was. Then, about two years ago, I started the Clinic-30 Program. And I haven't regained a pound." And then there's me. About 4 months ago I was stopped by a policeman for not using my turning signal. When he looked at my driver's license he claimed it wasn't mine. He said it had someone else's picture on it. After he called for a computer check, he came back to the car smiling. "You must have lost a lot of weight. This picture doesn't even look like you." I agreed. In a way, it was one of the nicest "warnings" I'd ever received. Obviously, I'm excited about the program. This is the first time it's been available outside of a clinical setting. Dr. Cooper has asked Green Tree Press, Inc. to distribute it. We'll be happy to send you the program to examine for 31 days. Show it to your doctor. Try it. There's no obligation. In fact, your check won't be cashed for 31 days. You may even postdate it 31 days in advance if you wish. Choose a day and start the program. If you don't begin losing weight within five days — and continue losing weight — we'll promptly return your original uncashed check. No delays. No excuses. Or keep it longer. Try it for six months. Even then, if you're not continuing to lose weight on a regular basis, you'll receive a full refund. Promptly. And without question. This is the fairest way we know to prove to you how well this new program works.

To order, just send your name, address and postdated check for $12.95 (plus $3.00 shipping/handling) to The Clinic-30 Program, c/o Green Tree Press, Inc., Dept. 667, 3603 West 12th Street, Erie, PA 16505.
