This kind of crap really pisses me off (RANT!)
in Wedding Woes
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 guess they thought adding she "was admittedly "super, super strict" about her diet" was enough of a disclaimer.

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.
I just a friendly gal looking for options.
