By CLAIRE BOOTH Knight-Ridder Tribune News Wire Saying a prayer before meals has taken on a whole new meaning for Elizabeth Annoreno. The Delray Beach, resident has replaced her love of food with a love of God. Now, almost 20 pounds thinner, Annoreno knows when enough is enough. She eats what she wants and stops when she is full. "What the Lord has done in my life is show me that he has made me in such a way that I can control my hunger," Annoreno said.

"It is the discipline that has helped me so much." Annoreno's inspirational diet comes from Gwen Shamblin, a registered dietitian from Nashville, Tenn. Shamblin's workshops have been available through churches for years and now she has written a book, The Weigh Down Diet: Inspirational Way to Lose Weight, Stay Slim and Find a New You. The core of Shamblin's message is that God can replace the spiritual void that many people fill with food. Her spunky delivery and Southern drawl have helped encourage thousands of people to lose weight by finding the Lord. "We knew better how to worship food in this country than how to worship God," Shamblin said.

"You need to transfer over a relationship with the food to a relationship with God." Shamblin began gaining weight in college, she writes in her book. She would eat and not stop, until the day she decided to watch a thin friend. She ate meals with that friend for two days and was amazed by the friend's ability to stop eating when she was full. "I just used my good ole' sense and watched my friend who was skinny," Shamblin said. That good sense allowed Shamblin to lose weight by not eating when she wasn't hungry, but it was not until she realized that it was her faith in God was the cause that she began to spread the word.

"By 1986, I got down on my knees and said 'God, why is it that I can stop in the middle of a candy I finally realized that people were in love with food," she said. "It robs them of their relationship with others."
