Today I saw “Cook Yourself Thin” on iView for the first time. In short, it’s the worst diet show I have ever seen. The advice on this program must be as close the opposite of what you should do as the producers could make.

The part of the first episode that really made me nuts was the Carbonara. They suggested eating carbonara the way the poor victim on the show was doing it was no good. That part they got right, but their solution was to take out the butter, cream and bacon! The only three nutritious parts of the meal, and they did away with them!

Then later on they do their little study on subliminal diet CD’s. Just a bunch of filler here, nobody in their right mind would believe that listening to a CD would affect your weight, except of course the fact that in doing so you will be thinking about your weight more and are likely to make other changes that probably will reduce your weight.

Clearly the producers and ladies appearing on the program have no clue about proper nutrition. Hopefully they do some research and fix the show pronto!
