Thousands cannot overcome millions. All of this controversy sounds like a

successful publicity stunt on his part. And guess what, it is working. I'll

bet his ratings prior to the " " show were plummeting. Oh how easy it is to

create false Gods.

Sad, but true. There's no other reason.

My biggest gripe is with for giving him credibility. There

will always be people looking for false Gods or gurus to " guide "

them. But, when someone who should know better supports or

encourages this behavior, it's more damaging to the public. I just

don't get her association with him...she sits right next to Al Roker

every day, reports on the new scientific evidence of obesity as a

disease, and she still promotes his bullsh*t.

I don't watch any show he's on. I stopped watching Oprah because of

him, too. No sponsor on any of his shows will ever get my

attention. His comments on the commercials I see are enough to set

me off...I'd probably break my TV if I watched his show! LOL

You asked why people don't see his hype. I remember before

surgery I was willing to do almost anything to loose weight. I went so

far as to buy one of diet books. I didn't last but 2 or

3 weeks on it but surely hoped that it would work. I think sometimes we

just grasp at straws. I certainly did.

Since surgery it has been amazing that if I follow what most

nutritionist have been saying for years, I do so much better. I do

better eating 4 to 6 times a day instead of the standard 3 meals a day.

I do better drinking water and crystal lite then drinking a lot of soft

drinks (although I still drink some soft drinks). I don't eat beef or

pork anymore. I don't feel deprived when I don't eat sugar everyday. I

eat the fruits and vegetables. I love eating salads now for a meal.

In 's case, she may or may not be going along with the program by

choice so much as by the fact that she's an employee of NBC News, and

they've scheduled this whole series. Using gives the whole series

credibility it would otherwise not have. could, of course, buck the

system, leave NBC and go her own way, but she's in a pretty cushie position

now, one many female journalists would never give up in a million years --

so she does what she's told.

And then, we don't know how she personally feels about Al's decision to have

the surgery. She might be one of the ones who doesn't understand, even after

seeing him on so many diets over the years. She look lovely -- probably

exercises every day, watches what she eats, and thinks it CAN work that way

for everyone.

Ultimately, yep, it's probably about the money. I was in Rite Aid drugstore

a couple of days ago, and there, among the many protein bars, was the newest

one, with Dr. Phil's picture on it. (Too high in carbs, too low in protein,

of course, just like the Balance and others). Everyone is jumping on the

diet bandwagon, it's big money! Huge money! The diet industry spends more on

advertising each year than the food industry does to sell us the food in the

first place! Heck, if I thought anyone would believe me, I'd start the " Lyn "

diet, and make my millions. Of course they'd have to touch up the picture on

the book cover to lose that last 100 pounds, but hey, a lie's a lie! Me, Dr.

Phil, , Oprah...

*****Oh, I think 's got enough clout that she could " just say

no " if she didn't want to do it. They have enough name reporters who

could have done it, and I think NBC knows that Matt sure can't carry

the Today show without , so they don't want her to go anywhere!

I think she just doesn't get it...after all, she's never been there

(here), and there's also probably a reason that Al chose not to tell

his co-workers until after the fact. Maybe it wasn't just his fear

of failure, but just maybe they really have a great facade going and

are actually quite judgemental. Who knows?

Saying that

a person could just take the easy way out and " have their stomach

stapled " made me sick. So very uniformed. And making millions

for being so uninformed is just ludicrous.

As I said before, and somehow my about half of my posts never make it

and get posted...

He was not the only one to make such statements. I personally saw

Oprah say something very similar. Speaking of a person who lost weight

by dieting alone, Oprah said... " She lost weight the HARD WAY. "

It is not just Oprah and Dr. Phil...it is all of the media. It is ashamed we

can't change all of the media....

Apparently, Dr. Phil was on Letterman the other night. Now,

anyone who watches Dave knows he's merciless when it comes to Dr.

Phil. Well, I just saw a clip on Entertainment Tonight about that

show, and Dr. Phil comes out, and says to Dave, " First of all, I know

you think I'm too fat to be doing this.... " Of course, the audience

went wild, and so did I. Gotta love that Dave.

Obviously, we're not the only ones who see him for what he really

is. :))
