Susan Powter

[PattyF]

I love susan powter. I think she is a fantastic motivator when it comes to working out. However, I follow ATKINS. I was reading the message boards at her website. I'm frustrated because these folks are as convinced about low fat as we are about low carb. I feel bad for them. I've tried low fat and found it to be not only boring as ****, but I later found I was type 2 diabetic, so you can only imagine what eating rice, potatoes and pasta did for me. Anyway, I just wanted to vent.[/b]

[G-Mom]

I remember her. She still have that platinum blonde buzzcut? I remember those infomercials of hers where she screams "Fat makes you fat!!!" As far as I know, she has no nutrition background or degrees, just success at losing weight.

Let them believe in low fat, you know a better way! :nod

[G-Mom]

Ok, I went to that message board. Patty, do yourself a favor and never go there again, they are nuts!! They worship a woman who can't even post with an iota of intelligence. I thought, "Ok, here's Susan's response, let's see what nugget of wisdom she has to offer." After not even being able to get past the first grammatically erroneous sentence without re-reading twice, I finally read through it. Not one ounce of decent advice for anyone." She's a total nitwit.

All those folks had the usual misinformation spurting out and calling it fact. They will never be convinced, they are that closed-minded (and they call us closed-minded!). Please don't waste your time with them.

I noticed this was your first post. I hope you stick around. We have a Diabetes forum where I am sure you would be very helpful! ha

That horrid board: http://p100.ezboard.com/fsusanpowter...icID=217.topic

Thanks for the link, G-Mom. I'll take a look at it when I get off work. I could use a good laugh. I still like the Susan Powter exercise tapes that I have, but I think Susan's site will be a hoot!

[soliwit]

It's almost scary :yikes
You see all kinds of wrong ideas about atkins pass and all on one page of posts, awfull !!
Even to the point where atkins causes cancer ensive :yikes
Creepy bunch of people !!

[cleochatra]

It's a lot of emotionalism and anecdotal evidence given by people who haven't really looked into the science of Atkins.

I see Susan Powter posts there, too. That's cool! Still, we have our own celebrity named Dr Atkins.

Who didn't die of a heart attack.

Hi, Patty! Good on you for trying to educate the accolytes!

[Pam_C]

That really ticks me off. I don't talk down about any diet or WOL. I only know about Atkins so I can only talk about it. I can not ever go there again. If I surround myself with stupid people my IQ drops 5 points every few minutes. If I stayed there I would be jello in 10 minutes! Do yourself a favor forget that site. I had the same experience with Debbie S. and the 6 week program she has (trying not to be too naming) She had never been overweight and when I said how much I had lost she wanted to know how till I told her and she said oh no your gonna kill yourself. I won't ever order another product from her again. She was also bragging about her new condo. Ughhhh I just dropped my IQ just thinking about it!!!

[cleochatra]

Quick, doctor, Pam's IQ is dropping! Apply the big words stat!

Ubiquitous lamentations concerning this manner of digestion are foretold within the tomes concerning ketoacidosis and its penultimate resourcefulness as regards this particular fashion of gastronomic inadequacies only by those with whom only those of lower intellect find themselves.

Did that help? Are you ok? *shaking your shoulders*

I think she's coming around!

:joy

[Pam_C]

LOL Cleo thanks I needed that. I did hear one time though that green jello gave off brain waves so I guess I wouldn't have been completely brain dead. LOL

[cleochatra]

I'm glad it helped. While I'm always glad to oblige, I'm not even sure I know what I said.

Still, that lime jell-o theory is worth testing. Do you think we could get a grant? :joy

[Pam_C]

Well If I go back to those boards we won't need a grant. I might not be able to talk but we could work out a certain jiggle for yes and no. My brother told me about the green jello when I was a kid. That was the only kind I ate so I stopped>

[Piasabird]

Okay, I finally got around to reading the thread.

Thanks!

Here was the post from Susan:

It's a sin that they've got your brain.....sounds like a good one....bread, pasta, tortillas.....carbs? The are, the only carbs the high protein boys want millions thinking about as they drill the evil word into millions of minds....yep....

Otherwise know as? Crap....refined white crap.....just like the refined white men behind the resurrection of the high protein weight loss myth....

Most important is you getting the truth.....if it's diabetes you'd like to know the truth behind...go to Dr. John McDougall's website immediately....contact him, read everything he's written.....and heal YourSelf.....

Next, is you understanding The Politics of Stupid, the puppeteers behind the dead doctors name.....two of the largest lobbies in the country? Beef and dairy boys. Interesting when you think about it and....the resurrection?

A few things get exposed, the consumer gets a bit of a clue...
....and wamo......there's an answer to obesity....resurrected from the 70's dead......without a mention (ever) of little things like:

Bovine Growth Hormones
Antibiotics
Fecal cover, putrid, horrifying mass manufacturing conditions
85 thousand de-beaked birds, pounded with hormones to make them fatter/faster (hello) "processed" .... for you and your family.....value? Convenient? Bargain? No....not even close to the truth.....

Can't wait till a brain like yours gets the truth.....and you will.....meantime...keep getting oxygen, building lean muscle mass, activating your brain, your body and your life.....

Susan Powter

Can anyone tell me what in the world she is talking about?

[G-Mom]

Exactly!!! Totally incoherent. Probably needs more meat and pus-filled dairy. It reads like someone on drugs!

[PattyF]

Well gee, I just couldn't help myself....I had to go there try to straighten these people out. You can read all my posts there.....I was hoping my LAST one....would wake some people up. But, they can have thier tree bark (susan dosn't want you to eat anthing that dosn't grow) and cactus water!! Boring beyond even my powers of immagination!! So amazingly ignorant is their way of thinking. Are we not all living proof that fat does not make you fat? She talks about whole food, while tattoo ink flows in her blood.....perhaps that bleach on her head has seeped into her brain. That must be it !!
