I think you hit the nail on the head.

"OMG" is right. Snack like Elaine... look like Elaine! It gets worse:

From Tell Me What to Eat If I Have Diabetes:

For example, if you find your blood sugar tends to get too high after you eat pizza, you can try eliminating the fatty meat toppings, eating one slice less, and having some green salad with vegetables and kidney beans instead.

A few pages later...

Fat helps lower the blood glucose response of the other foods it is eaten with.

She clearly has no idea what she&#39;s talking about!


(The book is on google.)

She is a special lady, it seems.


I read her list of "Credentials" to my husband and then showed him the video. Of course being the "nice guy" he is, he said to me, "Maybe she&#39;s really healthy, Emily!"

Uh, right. That&#39;s the glow of a healthy woman. And canola oil + reduced fat cheese + turkey bacon makes for an AWESOME snack that will save you 52 WHOLE CALORIES!!! (or something)

I can relate and I give her props for having the confidence to get in front of the camera and offer advice (the fact that it&#39;s bad advice is besides the point). I have a Bachelor&#39;s degree in Exercise Science, a Master&#39;s degree in Sport Management, and several coaching and personal training certifications and I&#39;m 370 lbs. I&#39;m so self-conscious that I won&#39;t even apply for jobs in my field, much less step out in public offering tips about health and fitness.

OMG! I bought this woman&#39;s book on what to eat if you have IBS years ago. It did not help!!! I ended up gaining weight! But I an now losing the weight on PB!!!

I wonder if WebMD has noticed an uptick of hits to that video and see where the inbound traffic is coming from?

[Sharon C.]

Sick.

[JamieRose]

I&#39;m also sitting here thinking, "You know, I would have believed that a year ago..."


I&#39;m SO happy I found this site. *shudders*

[BarbeyGirl]

Now, now. I&#39;m sure her diet is perfectly healthful. She just needs to do more cardio.
