I used to subscribe to her daily newsletter, but had to end it because she seriously makes me want to barf. Unsubscribing was blissful. Her newsletters, articles, advice, etc is like driving past a bad car wreck on the interstate. As much as you don't want to look. . . .

No doubt she has supporters, but I think she perpetuates eating disorders in our society with her sheer IRRATIONAL disdain for anything that has more than 100 calories. All of the processed crap she advocates and uses in her recipes will only leave the body wanting more; totally counterproductive for people trying to lose weight. She needs to stop duping people into her BS for the sake of making a buck. And her cutesy fartsy manner of writing (always replacing "them" with "'em"; her "Top Ate" lists) is beyond annoying. If she actually TALKS like that, well - I feel sorry for her immediate family.

Her tyrannical articles are harmful. She makes otherwise healthy, albeit ignorant, people ashamed of eating real, natural, wholesome foods. I'm here to ask you, no BEG you - stop listening to this muck and put some damn guacamole on that baked tortilla chip if you want it! And love it! And then drive, walk, or bike to the store and buy yourself some real food - fresh fruits, veggies, lean meats, and complex whole grain carbs. I promise me your body will thank you. Stop this love/hate relationship with your body and take care of it; this isn't a place for frickin' Hungry Girl and her propaganda.

Shame on Weight Watchers, known for their healthy approach to weight loss and adapting a new attitude, for supporting and advocating this garbage.

Thank goodness I am not alone on this matter. I have been really annoyed with the Hungry Girl newsletter which IMHO looks like an ad for Vita Tops, Fiber One, Shiratake Tofy Noodles and now Weight Watchers. Today's newsletter put me over the edge. In it, she talks about the importance of eating breakfast and give tips if you don't have the time to make it. 4 of her "brilliant tips" was 1. A breakfast cookie which had 14 ingredients in the recipe (if you don't have time to pour a bowl of cereal how do you have the time to bake elaborate cookies). Suggesting anyone eat cookies for breakfast is sooooo wrong and irresponsible, 2. Eating some Weight Watchers egg muffin which has a whopping 700 mg of sodium, 3. Jimmy Dean D-light breakfast sandwich with 980 mg of sodium, and of course 4. eat a Hungry Girl Vita Top. How about suggesting purchasing egg whites in a container, pour them in an omelet pan, add some veggies and a slice of soy cheese/veggie cheese and put it on a toasted Arnold Wheat sandwich thin. Guess what - it's (OMG) super fast and (gasp) only 2 WW points. I had to cancel my subscription - just can't stand to see someone pushing processed foods that only make people fatter.
