I don't understand the point of this at all. She was trying to prove that if you eat a lot, you'll gain weight? That being fat sucks? Or that it's easy to lose weight, which it apparently isn't since she hasn't managed to get rid of most of it yet?

She ate 6,000 calories a day to gain that weight, therefore all people who are overweight MUST eat 6,000 calories a day and just need to stop doing that! YWIA!
i think she is spinning this as hard as she can b/c losing 35 pounds in two months is going to be hard.
but really, she should have kept that weight on for a year or so and THEN tried to lose it. give it enough time to fuck with your mind before you start this shit.
Well, she cried, you see, as she ate the cupcakes and shit.
Which is clearly bullshit, because it's not actually possible to cry while eating a delicious cupcake.
I guess one issue is that if she's naturally thin, she had to work pretty damn hard to gain that much weight. And if she goes back to the regular eating habits she's had programmed into her brain for her entire life thusfar, TA-DA, she will go back to the normal target weight her body wants to stay at.
I guess her being 50 pounds heavier, to me, is like someone who naturally tends more towards being 175 working REALLY hard to lose a lot of weight, reaching 120 pounds, and then just finding it not sustainable. Hey, it MIGHT work for them, but it might also be a miserable experience and something that person's particular body does not want to maintain. That's just one reason people tend to regain weight when they lose it - look at everyone on the Biggest Loser who has gained again. On one hand, you go back to your old habits. I also doubt people who have been heavy for most of their lives have the genetic and hormonal ability to be really thin/fit. That's a major difference here.

It has literally been over 10 years since I've had a cheeseburger. But hey, I guess I'm still doing it wrong.

So I can't watch the video, but did the Today show call her out on this nonsense? Didn't they ask if she thought keeping it on for a year or 10 would change her ability to lose it and/or change her metabolism for the long term?
Plus, losing 50-lbs in 3 months is going to be easier for a fitness "celebrity" and someone who's only job is to get celebrity from losing weight and working out. Have some compassion, woman!

This is brand new information. Thank you for enlightening us, Katie Hopkins!
The trainer in fit2fat2fit already did this. He was a lot more sympathetic about what a mindfuck it was to stop the processed foods/chemical highs and get the workouts up to par again. IIRC he did it for 6 mos each direction, and with the goal of understanding where his clients were coming from. Frustrating especially to see a woman being so judgemental as this, since there are many factors that can/do make it harder (eg muscle mass, hormones).

If it was that easier I wouldn't have had weight loss surgery last month. And if it IS that easy Katie - then why have I not lost one ounce in the last 2 weeks eating 500** calories a day? Huh Katie?
grrrrrrrr mad
** I am supposed to get 400-600 calories per day in the part of the recovery from surgery
One would think, given the ebolapalooza that's happening on CNN right now, I would be hard pressed to find another "news" segment airing on TV more rage inducing, but leave it to the Today show for taking things to a new level.
Bravo.
And fuck them. This shitty person wouldn't get to spread her shit if TODAY didn't give her a platform.
I did think of more to say. Because of her ridiculousness she is now going to learn that after you start gaining and losing significant amounts of weight it messes with your metabolism so she's going to have a much harder time staying thin than she did before she began all this foolishness. And to that I say Ha Ha.

Maybe I shouldn't be reading this while eating a cookie from mellow mushroom that I'm pretty sure has a gagillon calories in it. But you know what? This bitch just needs to be shot in the head and put out of her misery.
This lady is nuts, and always has been. She is the one who went off on naming your children certain names and how it makes them trashy, including location names, and then couldn't defend herself when the tv host was like 'wait, isn't your daughter named india?". She claimed that didn't count.
