  • More uneducated quotes from Jessica Simpson

    Well, I just read a Glamour article on Jessica. She spouted off another uneducated quote about Atkins. She apparently is now on South Beach because "it is more of a lifestyle approach". Why couldn't she just have said that, but no! She said she tried Atkins but quit because she felt like she was depriving herself. Umm...since when is Atkins not a lifestyle? I doubt she even read the book. Probably hasn't read the SB book either.

    Well, coming from someone who didn't know that Chicken of the Sea was Tuna, I'm not surprised. If you don't know the difference between chicken or fish, you should keep your trap shut!

                  That's the problem!! So many young women listen to her opinions that she's creating a following of morons. (Girls who may be really intelligent but act stupid because it's cute!) Ever heard of Lemmings?? I'm sure South Beach creators are licking their lips with the anticipation of more "Jessica Simpson" wannabe's buying their products. (I'm not just picking on Jessica Simpson, or South Beach because it's the same with every celebrity promoted item.) It just makes me so mad that things are only cool if celebrities say they are.

                  Yes, I believe Atkin's works as well & I'm doing the best I can too. No, it's not easy for people with jobs but why are we comparing Jessica Simpsons "job" with ours? I've watched her reality show, I've seen her "work". As a singer, she can stop touring at any time & still make millions of dollars while she shops for $750 bras on Rodeo Drive!! If you quit your job tomorrow, would you still be able to rent your husband a Ferrarri for his birthday to the tune of $3000? I doubt it.

                  Just remember....they are only celebrities because we make them that way. If we stopped idolizing them, they would be normal people, just like us.

                  That's just my rant, didn't mean to offend anyone.

                      I think SB is more rigid. SB is lower-fat AND low-carb, which we all know is hunger-inducing and yes, rigid! I could care less if I am allowed a sweet potato and whole grain, I want a ribeye steak, heavy cream, butter and mayo! To each his own, but for Jessica to say SB is more of a lifestyle is not correct. She may be ok trading tasty high fat/low carb foods for bland bread and potatoes, but not everyone wants that trade or could live with that.

                        If Jessica is putting on an act on her TV show then she is some great actress. She had me believing that she is a bimbo.

                          Regardless of how people feel she has measured up academcially, her opinions are taken seriously be some people. After all, it IS hard work to act so clueless.

                          I suppose money means the ability to say more and buy more. But, opinions are just that, they are not fact. Let's face it, if we had her money, it would be so much easier to not wake up worrying about price of food on top of everything else, time to exercise instead of work, a person to cook for you, not energy to cook.
                          Remember, too, when you have an audience who is willing to listen, you sometimes have to find things to say. The things that spew forth are not always the most non-biased or reference-based.

                            A very good friend of mine is doing South Beach, and I've eaten at her house before. She measures everything. *Everything* And while the food isn't bland (it's all in the way you prepare it), I did find myself wanting something with some fat in it. But, it works for her.

                            We talked about the differences, and really, either one will work if you're willing to put the effort into it (for most people, no one thing fits every person on the planet). We both admit that had we started with the other diet, we would have failed. Not because they don't work, but because we couldn't make them work for us.

                            Personally, I'd rather see celebrities endorse SBD and let it get the black eye when 'it doesn't work' because the sound byte didn't say you'd have to follow actual rules. People are *always* going to look for the easy out and we're not going to change it. But we can be role models.
