My goodness! She's just as rude as she ever was. Does she ever shut up?
Who says we aren't eating fresh vegetables like her? I think our low carb programs have proven themselves even if she disagrees!

Hahahahahahahaha. What a coo-coo bird!

She's got it partly right, though. It is the refined and processed carbs that are the problem. If only she realized that in general principle, she agrees with Atkins!

Too bad I couldn't get a closer look at her eyes. Even my DH (who works in substance abuse recovery) said he thinks she's on something; his exact words were, "She's got to be on something".
While I know that some people do have a naturally high energy level, the last time I saw someone talking that fast and exhibiting some of the behaviors she is (notice the frequent fussing with her hair), they were on speed. It could also explain the verbally agressive behavior.

also, I think that is bad for her own publicity to down atkins and low carb like that, she is making enemies right from the start. If she wants people to listen to her program, she can't bash programs, she's burning bridges.

You're right. She was even bashing the brother. She needs serious counseling. Probably her husband needs it worse than her. Ha!

I saw the webcast of her on Fox TV (from the above link), and got a headache.

She's so hyper she made me nervous. I think I need a drink....of low carb milk from those bovine infected cows she kept screaming about.

The pink hair made me even more nervous!

She's obviously trying for a come-back, but I don't think the public will be suckered in by her low fat diet mantra anymore...I got fat by eating the way she told me to eat...never again!!!

You see, she is a vegetarian (sorry to the vegans on the site) and really pushes it, where Atkins recommends eating meat, totally opposite of her philosophy
