I saw this. I guess I was looking for something else. But while we're on the subject, is that offer good for existing customers? Thanks Jim. I saw this. I guess I was looking for something else.

I am a new non-celebrity customer of The Fresh Diet. I am paying them (a lot--the one downside) for this service not vice versa, and I can attest that it is awesome. BTW, I can cook VERY well and know a ton about nutrition. Which is exactly why I decided to give TFD a shot when I needed some help with stress, overeating, and related modern girl issues. I have no idea who Dr. Oz is and only vaugely knew who Carnie Wilson was before reading the TFD blogs. So, I could give a rat's tail about whether either one of them supports TFD. I know from experience that when I can follow the 40-30-30 concept I have more luck controlling my weight and am overall much healthier--but I could never plan, shop for, and make meals with the taste, variety, and regularity of TFD delivery with the other demands on my time. I am grateful that I can afford (barely) this service. It is expensive though--no matter what they say about eating out. I live in a high-cost-of-living, major metro area packed with foodies and hipsters (the kind of area TFD serves, basically) and I could certainly eat out every day--qualitiy food at real restaurants not McDonalds--for way cheaper than $45 dollars a day. I have used some other diet delivery services that were cheaper, too. Regardless, I can rationalize the expense when I offset "normal" food cost and consider the other benefits at the same time, but it does have to be a very good expereince all around. My experience so far with the food and the customer service at TFD had been unbeatable. I like the Carnie diet buddy idea, but haven't found the acutual page. I wish there was a members only blog and/or message board from the TFD site for diet tips, support, etc. I don’t understand what even motivates someone like Laurie to read this blog much less post.

I have more important things to do than to go back and forth with people who claim to know how Carnie makes the decisions she does. I also don't have time to listen to Fresh Diet blog moderators whose sole priority is to capitalize on their business through the questionable choices a celebrity makes. I don't know Carnie or Dr. Oz but I do know that I appreciate the information Dr. Oz provides to people who cannot afford the things that Carnie can. I would not say his show is dramatic. Carnie is dramatic and I don't care to watch the Dr. Oz show when people like Carnie come on crying for help yet only accepts the advice based on how she wants to filter it. To me it looks like being a spokeperson for this company is more important than changing the things she claims she wants to change. She is not a role model and I wish people wouldn't praise her for that. I commend her for overcoming the obstacles that she has in her life but they aren't any different than all the other millions of people in the world. I do not wish upon her bad things but I do hope Dr. Oz drops her. I'm sure Mr. Gilbert would be a better choice to help her. lol.... Andddd…you know all of this how, Robert?

I'm sure Carnie has taken Dr. Oz's advice (unpolluted by his producers) and left the drama for tv.

Since you know how to cook, and you know a lot about nutrition (frankly after some basics the rest is common sense correct), what is Dr Oz going to do for you? Keep you honest? You can go to a meeting for that. As I said, <strong>Carnie found us</strong>, before we ever offered her any role. You can tell she is an honest person. Go back to Dr. Oz's website and re-watch as her reaction to his telling her our diet is like being in jail. I doubt her response - even by the most cynical viewer - can be judged as canned, or faked, or paid for. Laurie, you sound like an intelligent person.
