den shift from mindless snacking on junk food to living on
nothing but salad and water. Whenever I contemplated this
whole crazy process, I would retreat to my bag of Mint
Milanos and insist, “No way, that’s not for me.” The DCL
changed that. What if I built cheats into my diet? What if I
followed it not perfectly but well enough? Would it work? I
thought I would give it a shot.
Adina: I heard someone compare a normal, doable diet to
a school exam. If you study hard, you can score 100% and get
an A. But if you miss a few questions and “only” score 85%,
you’re still getting a B, a pretty good grade. So, too, in this
case. You can only succeed at a diet that you can maintain
for the long haul. If I aim for perfection, I know I will eventu-
ally get discouraged, because it’s an unrealistic goal to main-
tain. But if I adopt the DCL approach, my chances for long-
term success are much better.
MOMMY’S ASIAN DRESSING (PAREVE)
This recipe is proof that you don’t need to use oil to
make a wonderful dressing. Perfect on salad or over
steamed green beans.

Fresh ginger, minced
(roughly equal to 1 T.)
1⁄2 cup apple cider vinegar
or fresh lemon juice
3 to 4 fresh dates, chopped
2 T sesame seeds,
ground in coffee grinder
