Sarah Ferguson on Larry King
I just caught part of the interview - Ferguson apparently just wrote a
children's book she's pitching. But, of course, she had to talk about diet and weight loss. To summarize, she said that the craze used to be to cut out fat, and people got fat and had health problems. Now the craze is to cut carbs, which can also only result in more fat people with more health problems. Huh? We'll see if she changes her tune when her sponsor (Weight Watchers?) jumps on the low-carb bandwagon. btw - I'm in the Netherlands, so I don't know when this aired in the US. S t a c i |

She's getting paid by WW and they're desperate to kill the trend toward low carb. Afterall, they don't make any money if dieters can buy all their food in the meat and produce sections of the grocery store. And WW is a little late to the party if they want to add low carb shakes and bars to their product line. BillJ |

I think that would be great - think of all the new LC foods that will be pumped into the marketplace as a result of this move. Wow..can't wait. Lee |

Nah - I should have said "IF Weight Watchers jumps on the low carb
bandwagon". Sorry - I have no idea if they will or not. You're right - sure would put a lot of new products on the market! S t a c i "Lee" wrote in message om... "S t a c i" wrote in message ...

From what I've seen (I have several relatives on WW), WW is committed to low fat
and damn the carbs. And those low fat products often contain much higher amounts of sugars than the regular food item because without fat they need something for taste. It would take a huge philosophical shift for WW to go low carb. BillJ In article , S t a c i says... Nah - I should have said "IF Weight Watchers jumps on the low carb bandwagon".
