   Carnie, Carnie, Carnie!

   You are so full of excuses. I’m sure you don’t realize how you come off on tv, but it seems your answers to Dr. Oz’s suggestions in always “yeah but…” I realize that you are a celebrity and you probably have some sort of quid pro quo to promote this food delivery service, but to claim that cooking a meal for 2 days a week is just too much for you is ridiculous! You talk about all your support from your husband, then why can’t he watch the kids while you cook a meal or two (or take a conference call for that matter!) You could also think of the great example that you set for your kids if they see you take charge of your health and prepare healthy foods for them, that would be a real gift to them.

   I do agree that the woman that Oz suggested for you to consult with was a bit much, but the rest of the simple request that were made could have been accomplished. It all boils down to what you find important. Is your health worth it? The jury is still out.

   All the best Carnie, for you and for us all.

     Being in front of a camera, a live audience, and getting pretty much grilled on a topic by Dr. Oz that required Carnie to be extremely vulnerable, has got to be very difficult don’t you think?

     We think that Carnie handled herself with poise and grace and should be applauded for allowing herself to represent her weight loss struggle in such a candid and transparent way. I’m also sure that Carnie’s response about her toddler was just a minor example of how busy she is and is only one example of her average day (a comment which like many is now being taken out of context)

     It seems that Carnie having her meals delivered has people upset. You are not the only one. However the “average Jane” is busy too. Many are as busy as Carnie herself! It’s a complicated world and we all work extremely hard to make ends meet.

     That said – most of our clients (99% actually) are not celebrities like Carnie. The Fresh Diet is actually affordable when you consider how much time the average person spends on food each week. Between shopping, and dining average Jane’s spend a lot of money. If you add back in the time spent factor (shopping, cooking, cleaning) our program free’s up a good deal of time.

     The proof of this? We have clients who use our services year round for its convenience. These are people who are not seeking to lose weight, but to eat a healthy and balanced diet who recognize the time savings.

     Let’s not start Carnie bashing because under the pressure of TV, she mentioned her child as why she can’t cook OK?
