About 'so-called- Diet & Weight Loss Gurus: The majority of Diet Gurus have never seen a fat day in their life. How could they possibly know what the dieter is experiencing during dieting - particularly a dieter that has many pounds to lose? How could they know the pitfalls? The emotional pain of being overweight? The struggle to lose weight, only to regain it shortly after a botched diet? About how judgemental people can be towards the overweight individual?  It's a bit like blind leadership -  like rich politicians who cannot relate to the common man because they've never experienced the common way of life.

I KNOW what you feel, I KNOW what you want and I KNOW how to get you there!  As you read through the information at Diet Bites, as well as the other Sky At Dawn weight loss sites, you'll look at dieting through the heart, the soul and the mind of someone who achieved great weight loss success (well over 100 pounds) AND who has maintained that weight for almost a decade now.  

That's why Diet Bites is a bit different from the others. We focus on diet and fitness motivation through humor! We want to make your diet fun! To help you feel good about yourself - and to be comfortable losing weight. The articles are free, the continuous updates are free, the tools are free, the recipes are free, the motivation is free - so feel free to hop in and use what is here. It was created for you, to help you successfully conquer weight and fitness. Please enjoy to the fullest and share with your friends and family! ~ Sky Taylor, Your Motivational Weight Loss Guide

More About Tom & Sky - If you are burdened with the overweight blues, and you don't think that anyone truly cares - think again. We do! We truly want you to succeed in your weight loss journey, a journey that can be very painful, yet truly rewarding! We understand the struggles and the pain that cross one's mind during the weight loss process and are devoted in helping you meet and/or exceed your fitness goals.  

Sky supports the idea that fitness and weight management can be accomplished by using basic tools: a calorie book, a common bath scale, a few measuring spoons and cups, and a good pair of walking shoes.

Her knowledge is backed by college nutrition courses, personal experience with weight loss, and personal studies; she is also certified in first aid - but please don't faint on her!  Because of her propensity to help others, she can land herself into some fixes that make Lucy look pretty sane.  It can get crazy and if you're a fan of Diet Bites, you can see that 'crazy' flowing through her pen at times. But although Diet Bites is fun - it's 'drop-live-serious' about diet motivation and about helping you lose weight - and helping you achieve your weight loss dream!

In addition, she is an internationally published author, and has written thousands of weight loss and fitness articles. She and her husband Tom, also a contributor to Diet Bites, enjoy hiking, nature photography and rescuing animals in distress. They are also the co-authors of '13 Little Vampire Stories' and 'The Medieval Diet' and have co-written many humorous romance books together (Trinity Moon).

Tom has a Bachelors of Science degree in biology and can take apart a microscope and put it back together in a flash! Unless otherwise noted at the site, Tom provides the knowledge for the articles at Diet Bites - our Man About the 'Diet Resource' Town.  He ensures that all the nutrition information at the Sky At Dawn sites is accurate.

This is the duo that makes up the Diet Bites World - but you are what makes this little world spin!  Tom and Sky truly cherish your support of this site and are dedicated to filling your reading world with love and laughter. Their goal is to provide a site that will assist you in losing weight and/or maintaining your weight loss.

Diet Bites Free Menus, Diet Planners & our Weight Loss Program

Before beginning any type of diet plan or menu, you will need to get with your doctor for approval to ensure that you are physically able to pursue a diet, as well as to root out hidden illnesses and diseases that may be contributing to weight gain.

As a note, Tom and Sky have pursued a flexatarian way of life which incorporates very little meat into their daily diet - a bit of fish and chicken every now and then. The menus at Diet Bites that contain meat are based on recipes that are created in the Diet Bites' kitchen and tested by volunteers (usually their grown sons and other family members and friends being the guinea pigs - and you know how we feel about guinea pigs!).

A note about this photo: Taken in December 2003, North Central Texas experiences an unusual display of autumn foliage! Sky is actually taking a snapshot while Tom is taking a photo of the unsuspecting 'Sky' with the Einstein hairdo.  

This is where Tom and Sky are the happiest - out in the wild, among Nature's Beauty!
