hungry girl. im disappointed!

Have you checked your spam/junk/bulk folder?

Oh...then I dunno lol! Sorry

I just signed up, and I thought it said weekly emails, not daily.

I still subscribe--for ideas more than anything. My main objection is all of the preprocessed single-serving foods she uses. Not only are they processed more that I like, all that packaging is not good for the planet.

But I do get some good recipe ideas from her that I then adapt or modify using better products.

I get weekly emails and I also tape her show every saturday. My husband likes some of the meals I have made form her show:)

I was signed up and she did. But they were full of unhealthy processed food, so I kicked her to the curb! I also unfriended her on facebook because her high sodium, low calorie at any cost philiosphy disappointed me!

Same here - I took my name off the mailing list because of all the processed foods her recipes call for!!!

At first I loved her, thought she was great, but I think I also took her ideas and suggestions, and then made them mine and outed the processed food.

It just came to the point where I got 1-2 emails daily, and a lot of them were pushing lean cuisines and amy's canned soups and a lot of other processed meals she likes that blow my days worth of sodium.

On her facebook page, she would also post things like " Who hates nasty parsley" or "does anything else think (insert vegetable here) is NASTY"

It also worried me that she was always complaining about being so starving and needing huge bowls of oatmeal or cereal or tofu shirataki noodles or whatever to keep her full. Based on what she would say she eats, the reason she is always so hungry is probably the lack of balanced nutritious meals. 3 apple cinnamon vitatops wont fill you like half a whole grain bagel, some light cream cheese, and an apple! I strongly believe everything should balance what they eat to keep them full longer.

I just felt she was for everything I dislike about good food and nutrition. I think calorie counting is HUGE but you need to make sure those calories count.

Sorry for the soapbox! I go a little bananas over people mistaking dieting fads with heath and nutrition. All done now :blushing:

You can get daily recipe emails when you sign up with allrecipes.com.

I think of her site sort of as "harm reduction." There are a lot of problems with her recipes, which have already been discussed above (processed foods, high sodium, high sugar). It's not great for you, but it can be useful for things like desserts, mixed drinks, and junk food cravings. I have used some of her recipies for parties. I don't think she's bad as long as you are picky (her butternut squash and pumpkin suggestions are great) and use sparingly.

Your right!

I had a look at the site after hearing about it here. But I was very disappointed by the amount of processed food she uses. I even managed to get a look at one of her cookbooks, but again it was full of processed rubbish. I've no doubt you would lose weight following her guide lines, but you I dont think you'd feel very healthy.
