Post Fergie on Larry King Live

I found myself screaming swear words at the radio tonight! I'm not crazy, I'm just an avid talk radio listener. Tonight, on Larry King Sarah Ferguson was bragging about Weight Watchers and her "Half a bagel and egg white omelette" breakfast.

Weight Watcher's just put out a pamphlet called "The Truth About Carbs". She plugged the pamphlet and an 1-800 number where you can get a copy.

Fergie claims that Atkin's diet includes NO VEGETABLES!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS A LIE!!!!! I eat more vegetables than I ever had before. Today I had squash for lunch. I've never eaten squash for lunch when I was on low fat. Fergie says that Brocolli is a no-no on Atkin's! Another lie!!!

Fergie says that when she was on a low carb diet, years ago, she got "migraines every ten minutes". She's lying again. Migraines aren't something that you get every ten minutes. I've suffered from Migraine. I haven't had a migraine since being on Atkins.

Fergie says that Atkin's causes heart disease and kidney problems. That's all the old rhetoric that the Weight Watcher's/Low Fat folks like to spew at us. I eat whole foods and not processed foods. I cut out sugar and bread, and added delicious foods like cabbage, BROCOLLI, cream, butter, cheeses, a bounty of vegetables and lean meats to my diet. I look and feel better than I ever have!

She said to get in touch with Weight Watchers, because you'll feel so terrible on Atkin's that you'll want to go back. She said that Weight Watcher's has so many choices that Atkin's doesn't, and that with Atkin's you deprive yourself. HA! I had low carb spaghetti and meatballs with sugar free tomato sauce (sweeted with Splenda) for supper! I don't call that deprivation.
