Pioneer woman calls KETO a fad

(Richard M) #1

There you have it. Keto is a fad.
Her lifestyle can support how she lost weight but most of us have a very demanding job and life that can’t do what she did. Some comments should not be made.

Keto is a fad right now… that’s not incorrect.

We disagree there, I like free speech. We’re in big trouble without it.

#3

love her and she is a ‘good tv’ chef and hell they ‘ranch our meat’ too that hits the market for their lifestyle for their family so…

she did LC a few times on her show.

how to cook low carb.

how to ‘cook keto’ type meals.

how to ‘cut fat in your food’ and more.

normal tv chef show I would I think.

I liked George Stella and another great show on Food Network was Blane Julius who did alot of meat lc, darn near ZC cooking for a while and I have to say…food network is just that…all about food but in the end, the chefs ‘walk the tv popularity walk’ and it is ALL ABOUT the promotion of the time to further their financial interests so…just take it all in and see it for what it is :slight_smile: Don’t nail them, cause as the tides turn and the population demands healthier the chefs will be on board again :slight_smile:

She is just the fad.

Full disclosure: I can not stand that woman.

#5

no kiddin’ lol I like her but it might be they ranch beef cattle that is my draw more to here HAHA

This sort of thing only bears out Nina Teicholz’s assertion about how the U.S. dietary guidelines have an insidious effect on all walks of life, and that they need to be changed. But the Department of Agriculture has all that soy and corn to sell on behalf of the large agricorporations, so . . . .

(Quite apart from the irony of a television celebrity calling herself “Pioneer Woman.” I loved the scenes in Little House in the Big Woods and Little House on the Prairie in which Laura Ingalls Wilder describes her favourite tv shows.)

As @lfod14 implies, given the dictionary definition of a “fad” it would seem keto qualifies.

However, my guess is that Ree did not lose 48 pounds. She merely misplaced them.

They’ll likely be back, wagging their tails behind them.

I know this is sacrilegious, however, she makes me crazy. The sound of her voice and that saccharin smile make me want to throw up. I detest her show and seeing her as a judge on other cooking/baking shows. In the beginning, I guess out of necessity, she had to feed her husband, son (?), and some of the cowhands, however, I wouldn’t be able to make it my life’s mission to cook a six-course meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven days a week. :exploding_head:

What really slays me about a lot of people (including family members), is what are you basing these “opinions” on? Does anyone actually have any facts before they make these judgements and blanket statements? SO many people could benefit from keto!!! Obesity is at epidemic levels and dieting doesn’t work! I have never been happier than since I have been on keto and now carnivore. It IS sustainable and is the ONLY thing that ever worked for me.

#9

you too LOL
I don’t truly know why I like her cause I think she is one of the better tv food people…to me my worst is Bobby Flay and I know everyone loves his azz and I put him in the puke me category HAHA

too wild how we all differ so much on food tv show personalities :slight_smile: fun chat on it!!

(Marianne) #10

Yeah, I don’t like him either. He seems like a real d*&^. :rofl::laughing: (He’d probably say the same thing about me!)

#11

:100::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::astonished:
too funny LOL

I ate at one of his famous ‘bobby flay’ burger joints while on vacay. omg the price and my kids burger came totally raw and my burger came totally like a fried hockey puck and I re-ordered and never got my burger back? we re-ordered her burger and it came so late it was again, damn near raw LOL and then we got those ‘famous natural french fries’ for hubby and kid and they came sopping greasy mess and SO gross and I thought…damn, how in the hell does this place stay open? I truly hope the place has shut down at this point…cause darn if a food network guy pushes this crap and rotten cook service?? geez LOL

Another one I don’t like is that little gal…Giada something lady. She is so small pushing pasta at everyone yet does this person ever eat? I don’t know, I wonder on that one :wink:

(Marianne) #12

Yes! Giada DeLaurentus. Talk about a painted on smile!!! Barf!

:joy::rofl::face_vomiting:

I’m being particularly b*&^%y today! :pleading_face::laughing:

#13

I feel ya :scream_cat:

I think 'our wanna be ‘icons’ on tv are now so low in our brains that it becomes that time when we have to judge openly and just diss the heck out of them!!! They put it out there, at some point, I am gonna say something :wink:

another one I like is Ina. I don’t know why but I like darn Ina and her hubby Jeffery…yet she is not even close at all to how I would ever live my life ‘feeding people’ and her type of cooking but darn I do like Ina just for being Ina.

(Marianne) #14

Is that what it is? Good, I’m feeling a little better about myself.

:rofl:

#15

Well I guess ‘food people’ have to push it all from the ‘cook 2 days before the event’ to feeding all food to everyone ‘they love’ and just making those people so darn happy and I think, in the bitter end, FOOD IS such a focus during such obesity times and MOST OF us can’t cook this crap…work a full time job and kids and life comes into play, who can ‘be a chef’ all day in their real life and real home, not many, well, not me so yea I am gonna comment on it I guess LOL

I loved all the cooking shows til I dropped watching all the cooking shows :slight_smile:

Hey are they ALL FOOD pushers in disguise? Are they all ‘those who have to feed’ everyone what they want? Hmmm…maybe they are all food addict pushers to the point of their bank acct gets happy? Hmm…again, me thinks there is a wild conspiracy now in here LOL

but darn I still love the Great British Baking Show…still an addict on watching that one

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #16

It’s not the same without Sue and Mel.

(Bob M) #17

Keto has been around since at least Banting. The 1800s.

This discusses the differences, but they’re really quite similar.

Is over 200 years a fad?

(Joey) #18

Fair question.

When it comes to both scientific breakthroughs and new nation-states, the first 200 yrs are typically a probation period.

Not sure about dietary trends.

(Allie) #19

I love living in my own little bubble and not even knowing who this person is :rofl:

#20

oh boy when they changed the hosts on Great British Show I can barely watch it but…still it holds me just enough :wink: but another change it will hit the no go but to others it will be a normal life NOW issue and they will love it so? dino vs. today? and new viewers? ugh HA me being one out that means nothing but new younger is the way forward…ugh LOL
