This kind of crap really pisses me off (RANT!)

**O-Face**

I'm checking my yahoo email, and there is a link about a woman losing weight.  Wonderful, right?

Except they include some sort of "typical" day of eats for this chick.

I added up what she ate and it was pretty liberal, meaning I padded it.  I came up to less than 900 calories.

WTF?!?!  WHO in their right mind would promote this crap!?!

Talk about completely uneducated and spreading misinformation.

*hulk smash*

I JUST read that article and thought the same thing to myself.  No way is that healthy.

I guess they thought adding she "was admittedly "super, super strict" about her diet" was enough of a disclaimer.

Yeah, and not mentioning she may or may not have disordered eating.

People who think being skinny is an accomplishment. <div>
</div><div>I'm amazed you have the energy to get angry about this stuff. Until very recently, this woud have been a doctor's visit for me - anything to get skinny, and screw your actual health, fatty. Can't live on 900 calories a day? You obviously don't have enough willpower, and that's why you're fat to begin with. </div><div>

Weight Watchers - at least they were a few years ago.

MIL is a lifetime member of WW. She was getting really tired, really quickly a few years back (she was still following WW then, and keeping a food diary) - despite eating her full "points" value of food each day, (and some of her extras each week) she was only getting about 900-950 calories/day. Basically, she was starving herself, but since she had been doing it so long (years - she was at her goal weight) that her metabolism had slowed down to accommodate. She had increased her activity slightly, and bam - ended up at the doctor. She spoke with a nutritionist who had her increase to about 1500-1600 cal/day, and she's doing a lot better. I know WW revised their points system, so maybe it's better now, but that was somewhat scary.

WW allows unlimited fruits and vegetables now, so yes, it is better.

Oh there are certainly people that think it's healthy.  Just like people that think surgery will be a cure all.
