%$#%$# Marie Osmond

Ok, I do love the NS and it is definitely working for me, but one bone I do have to pick is the Marie Osmond commercial. One of the reasons she lists for using NS is that there is no counting nor measuring...I beg to differ.

Yes there is no counting for the NS food, but the additions each have a specific measure. I was eating grapes for my morning snack and I realized with absolute horror that I HAD EATEN 16 GRAPES! I don't need this added pressure.

Also, the measurements are kind of weird too. I usually have a hard boiled egg for breakfast. The carton says medium, however in the NS guide there are options for large, small...and egg. Do I live in a weird state that has medium-egg producing chickens?

It's a good thing the chocolate scones, and chocolate crunch bar, and the nutrichocolates and the caramel chocolate delights and pretty much all of the desserts are soooo good!

I suppose she is technically being honest because the NS meals are all figured out. LOL
Also whats funny to me is she lost her weight when she did "dancing with the stars". She said in an interview dancing for 8 hours a day had helped her to very easily loose 40 lbs!! before she was a spokesperson for NS but hey maybe she is maintaining on the plan?????

Your comments match my thoughts exactly. I used to measure and double measure to make sure that I was getting exactly the right amount of cottage cheese. And I always count out exactly 15 pistachios! Funny that you blogged about this today - I saw Marie on the television yesterday and thought the exact same thing!

Me, too! Maybe it was not counting or measuring for her because she has "people" to do that for her!

She's a paid spokes-person LOL! We have large eggs in Az, but my question is 1/2 of a med banana?? I eat a whole one and check off 2 fruits-- LOL,it is getting easier for me with time. True you can just grab your entrees but the add ons take thought and prep. Now watch those grapes, were they small, medium or jumbo :)))

I am so glad to see someone finally say this out loud. I've never measured so much food in my life. It's not easy eyeball a tsp of peanut butter and Linna62 you're absolutely right, how is 1/2 a medium banana a serving? Banana's are single serving. You can't save half for later!
