Carnie Wilson Sacked as Diet Spokesmodel!

CARNIE Wilson has been fired!

The Wilson Phillips star — who once weighed a whopping 300 pounds and famously underwent gastric bypass surgery in 1999 — has been axed as the spokesmodel for healthy food service The Fresh Diet amid allegations she cheated on the eating plan while promoting her own range of cheesecakes.

“Carnie was promoting her cheesecakes while she was supposed to be only eating our three meals and two snacks a day,” Ezzy Duchman, publicist for The Fresh Diet, told America’s Star magazine.

“We had to take her off the corporate website because she has not been a successful case. She didn’t stick to it, and she didn’t lose weight. We had to cut ties with her.”

Carnie has previously revealed she managed to lose weight by cooking for her reality TV pals Bobby Brown and Maureen McCormick on Outsiders Inn.

“I just wanted to feed people. I got to cook every day, and that brings me a lot of comfort,” she said back in 2008.

“I’ve been really changing how I eat. It’s great. I cooked really fattening food on the show but I lost 11 pounds while we did it.

“I cooked for everybody on the set every day. I’d wake up early and bake and then I wouldn’t be eating the food. I would eat and spit, taste and spit.

“Then I made my tofu. We were cooking healthy. I was doing a bunch of dishes at the same time. I made my vegetables.”

SHE WILL BE THE VERY FIRST PERSON IN THE WORLD TO UNDER GO 2 STOMACH BYPASS OPERATIONS……I WONDER WHAT THE PROBLEM IS????………WOW…..

Happy
Sorry. Carnie is NOT the first person in the world to undergo 2 stomach bypass operations. I know a fat girl who had the first gastric bypass done in 2002. She couldn’t keep the fork out her mouth and blamed it on baby weight. In 2009 she finally found a Dr. who did the second surgery after she was turned down by several other Dr.’s who didn’t want to do it.

http://yahoo just sayin
I totally agree with you Me says! Your story sounds just like mine. Those who have not experienced it are clueless!

She has only had ONE gastric bypass..get your facts straight!!! Problem is the media hyping up something that is very private and over-dramatizing everything like they always do. I had the same procedure….still have the same problems….emotional eating…it’s a NEVER ENDING battle even with the surgery…I have gained some weight back, but am nowhere near where I use to be,…as is the same with Carnie. The surgery is a major step, a last resort, and was NOT fun to go through. I’d like people who put down the surgery or think it’s the easy way out to have it done so that they can see that it is NOT the easy way out. By far the HARDEST thing I’ve ever, ever done in my life!! You deal with the surgery, (you are restructuring the inside of your body!!) and you have to follow a specific diet and exercise as well. It forces you to do it. Good thing…as you need to…but so HARD to do!!!!

@Me
Uh, you may say that gastric bypass is a private matter, however SHE hyped it up. You may be too young to remember, or perhaps just forgetful, but she did a huge publicity tour prior to the surgery, many interviews she pleaded what a life saving operation it was going to be. Then the procedure was shown live on the Internet, as well as clips shown on many gossip television shows (all of which had to have her permission to use the footage due to doctor patient confidentiality clauses). Afterward she appeared in playboy and did another publicity tour raving about the surgery, even hosting an infomercial. So please GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT, the commenter you were berating was saying he would not be surprised if she has another bypass soon.
This is just a typical fat person trying to take the easy way out, I can’t wait until years later when the rest of you fatties realize the detrimental damage you are doing to your body by getting this surgery and how much of a psychological hurdle it is to conquer, surgery doesn’t fix the psychological problems.

I had gastric bypass a year and a half ago. I have successfully kept the 110+ pounds off. I don’t understand how someone can eat through one bypass when if you eat too much you end up getting sick. That’s the impetus for me. I don’t want the discomfort from eating food.
She is just someone who is out of conttrol with her eating.

After about 5yrs you will gain on average 20% of your weight back.The reason being is the pouch can expand in size therefore you can eat more.As for Carney her body no longer reacts the way it does right after a gastric bypass.That is why she can eat sweets & overeat.She has an addiction to food.The only other alternative is to have a gastric band put around her large pouch thereby restricting the amount of food she can eat.I had a gastric bypass in 1998 & regained some weight but felt I was at my set point.I still wore a size 8 & was comfortable.I was on steroids most of last year & put on 40lbs.It is just now coming off & I am so glad.Did not overeat at Thanksgiving.I only had small portions a tablespoon of this & that.I am going back on my protein shakes to help get the rest of the steroid weight off.Carney simply does not care anymore.I met her at a weight loss surgery convention in Vegas & she was super thin of course that was about a year after her surgery & she had had all her plastic surgery being done at that time.

Linda
I feel badly for Carnie. She is a beautiful woman, and obviously has issues she can’t or doesn’t want to deal with.I saw her on Dr.Oz and she didn’t seem willing to follow his suggestions for a healthy lifestyle.Sad, because she has children who need her and also is not setting an example for them. It is hard to break the eating pattern when food is such a comfort for people.Takes a lot of willpower, even after bypass. That is not a cureall, as we can see. Best of health to Carnie, and all who struggle.

Lee
I had gastric bypass surgery 6 years ago and I have the problem of loosing too much weight !
It all depends on the type of surgery you have- as there are I believe 4 types now.
The one that most people have the weight gain from is the stomach stapling- as they can stretch out there stomach to allow alot of food in !
and then needing to have it made smaller again.
The type I had rerouted my food ! I do not use my stomach- I had a pouch made out of muscle in my leg- and it bypasses alot of the upper intestine !! I cannot eat more then 9grams of sugar a day- or I get SICK !!
I CANNOT OVER EAT- AS THERE IS NO PLACE TO PUT THE FOOD-IT WILL COME BACK UP AND OUT !!
YOU CANNOT TAKE ALOT OF OVER COUNTER MEDS-OR ANY NSAIDS-
OR ANY TIME RELEASE MEDS- OR ALCOHOL BASED MEDS- NO CODIENE-OR YOU WILL BURN A HOLE IN THE POUCH AND WASTE WILL DUMP INTO YOUR INTERNAL ORGANS !!
ANYONE WHO THINKS WE DO THIS FOR A QUICK FIX TO LOOK BETTER-
YOU ARE SADLY MISTAKING !!
I DID IT TO SAVE MY LIFE !! I COULD NOT METABOLIZE ANY CALORIES I TOOK INTO MY BODY !! GAINED IT ALL IN FAT AND WEIGHT !! A MEDICAL CONDITION- NOT A LAZY FAT PERSON- BUT A MEDICALLY SICK PERSON.
DO NOT BE JUDGEMENTAL OF OVER WEIGHT PEOPLE- ALOT DO NOT CHOOSE TO BE THAT WAY !!!!!
I NOW HAVE ARTHRITIS REALLY BAD- AND CANNOT TAKE ANY ORAL MEDS TO HELP ME- BUT INJECTIONS I HAVE TO DO AT HOME AT $1600.00 A SHOT X 2 A MONTH- PLUS THREE OTHER INJECTIONS A MONTH !!
AND I HAVE TO TAKE B12 INJECTIONS ONCE MONTH FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE DUE TO THE SURGERY !!!
AM I SMALL YES I WEAR A SIZE 4- AM I HEALTHY !! NOT ANYMORE THEN BEFORE THE SURGERY- IT DID NOT STOP MY HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE !!! I AM NOW ON TWO MEDS A DAY FOR THAT !!
I AM ON NUMEROUS MEDS INJECTIONS FOR ARTHRITIS – I HAD PRIOR TO THE SURGERY- IT WAS NOT FROM BEING OVER WEIGHT STRESSING THE JOINTS !!
SO STOPJUSDGING PEOPLE WHO HAVE A WEIGHT PROBLEM- as gastri bypass is not a fix !! or easy !!!

ROBIN

http://slamonline JEFF
serious, whats with the caps.
and i hate to say it but overeating is something that you can control with a stronger will power, unless you have some kind of neural/hormonal disorder or something. it should have never come to bypass surgery in the first place.

Papawhiteout
The problem with people losing and keeping the weight of is that they are just plain lazy afterwards.
You have to atleast walk or do something physical to keep things going.
* We all know in some cases some people can’t help it *
But in most cases how many times do you see people claiming to eat healthy and then going out to eat five times a week ?
Cooks dont care about your waste line so they put all the bad stuff in food to make it taste good.
Its their job !
Sit your butt home a couple nights a week and exercise and the weight will stay off.
I think she makes valid points about cooking for herself.
http://slamonline JEFF
i wasn’t talking about Lee in particular, only the fact that he was writing in caps the entire time.
i was talking about this topic in general

ROBIN
JUST PLAIN MEAN ASSHOLE
http://slamonline JEFF
how is that mean?

Stop Eating, Hello ?
Once a fat pig, always a fat pig

Kathy
You don’t have to be cruel. Just move on to a different topic somewhere else and quit being a bully. It’s not your problem, so let people who understand be empathetic. I bet you have some vice or bad behavior…it’s just not overeating. Be kind and it will set a much better tone.

http://slamonline JEFF
and also Lee had a disorder, so im obviously not talking about him
http://showbizspy Joyce George
I am due to have gastric bypass Jan.5th and don’t think I am ready. I have beed waiting a year to get a date. Did everything I needed to, (still smoke a little pot) in a 6 month period and even lost 30 pounds, but know I have gained s little back. I have been a bit depressed and the problem started 20 years ago, before I gained all the weight, about 15 years ago. I have a bad neck and back. I have been on Tylenol IV, 3 x a day for years and I feel I need something stronger. Arthritis is bad, I am 50 years old. My doctors have never mentioned anything about this to me, but have wondered. You think they would have said something. I am going to ask! Thanks for your story.
Stop Eating, Hello ?
And every morbidly obese person says the rest of us trying to keep weight off “don’t understand them.”
They just don’t know how to say no to food when they are full. It’s ALSO not a mdical problem with 99%of them, but that’s an easy excuse they all use.

Almost Suicidal
Stop Eating, Hello?, Sir,
I must INSIST that you let all of us know – at what medical institution did you get your DEGREE?????? And, how much overweight are you? I mean, you seem to be an EXPERT in obesity, and gastric bypass surgery and it’s side effects. I would like the name of your college, because I’d like to give it to the surgeon who did MY bypass surgery. This guy killed me on the table, grabbed whatever just to sew me back up, and restarted my heart. I found out years later that I have a normal size stomach, and that there are two rows of staples from my heart down my aeorta!! I had lost 20 lbs after the surgery, but gained 25 back. Now, I am sick all of the time. I don’t sleep good. My personality has even changed. I have been fat ALL OF MY LIFE. Grade school was hell, highschool was even worse. I have been on EVERY SINGLE DIET you could think of, and I never lost any weight. I exercised FAITHFULLY every single day. No weight loss. So, seeing as how YOU ARE THE EXPERT IN ALL OF THIS, TELL ME WHY I HAVE HAD TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THIS SUFFERING, AND LOSS OF SELF ESTEEM, AND PAIN, AND WORK THAT DIDN’T WORK!!!!! PLEASE – PLEASE – PLEASE, tell me!!!!!!!!!!!

Kathy
Almost Suicidal, I sympathize with all you have suffered. Please have your doctor refer you to a psychological therapist that specializes in eating disorders and depression; you have so many things that plague you and you need to get the help you deserve. If you don’t like the first therapist, get another one. I’ve finally found someone I like and years of trying counseling on and off. Also, watch, read or listen to books and TV shows that are inspiring and will arouse motivation in you. Look at how the “The Biggest Loser” has changed many people’s lives on camera and off.
If you ever eat “fast food”, watch “Super Size Me” by Morgan Spurlock…it will scare you. Surround yourself with healthy people that will encourage you. Don’t let all these awful problems bring you down. YOU ARE SO WORTH GETTING THE HELP YOU SO DESERVE!! Please seek it out.

Bob R
Joyce, I can’t understand you with that oversized turkey leg sticking out of your mouth. Take it out!!

Kathy
If you’re not part of the solution, stay out of it. Saying hurtful things makes you look bad further damages the other person. It’s also bad karma.

Chronic obesity can be caused by many factors. My mother, a person who could not gain weight no matter what she tried for the first 30 years of her life, eats perpetually, and is slightly overweight. When I was 12 and started developing small curves, she decided I was going to be underweight like she had been. She starved me from then until the time I moved away at age 19. I lived on 600-800 calories a day. I played basketball and softball, was a cheerleader, and push-mowed a 3-acre lawn and orchard 6 months out of the year. I had a fantastic shape, although I had bones poking out. When I left home, I didn’t start stuffing my face, but I was working 3 part-time jobs and carrying a full class load. I didn’t have time for sports and lawn mowing. I gave birth to 3 healthy children, all weighing over 8 lbs., having eaten under 1200 calories a day during each pregnancy. And guess what? I kept gaining weight! I don’t touch fast food, don’t binge eat, and rarely touch sweets. A gallon of veggie oil will last me a year. The problem? By drastically starving your body, you tell it you’re going to keep starving it, and it tells your metabolism to start storing fat. It’s a vicious cycle. The only way to lose weight and keep it off is to eat a healthy diet based on your weight and build, and exercise. Weight training (not necessarily the heavy kind) and moderate cardio will help you start burning fat. The bad news is, if you are sedentary by nature, or are a binge eater, you have to turn over a new leaf, and understand this is a new pattern you have to turn into your new lifestyle.

I get so tired of people who have never had a problem with weight and eat anything they want saying that overweight people are lazy and just sit and eat.
I have worked all my life very physical jobs. I watch someone eat and it seems like I gain weight. I have a hard time exercising because it causes so much pain. I watch what I eat and can not lose weight.I hate the way I look and have fought it all my life. It can be very emotional and hurtful because of what people say and how they look at you. Maybe more people should look at themselves to see how ugly they are inside and do something about that before they make fun or judge other people. We are all alike and there is no one better than others. We all have different challenges and should not be judged for them. Just blowing off steam!!!! Thanks
http://Yahoo Butterfly
Stop eating hello, You are one of those very ugly people inside. What gives you the right to call someone a fat pig. Take a good look at yourself and you might see someone even you don’t like.Unless you are so full of yourself that you can’t see it!!!!!!!
Bob R
Of course excercising causes some pain, you’re working parts of your body that haven’t been worked on (except for the jaw muscles eating) for a long time. That is one of the fat people’s excuses, it causes me pain to exercize, so I won’t do it. Anything that MAY help keep weight off is too much trouble. I am talking to the 99% of people who can do something about it.
http://Yahoo Butterfly
I have fybromyalgia and any type of movement IS PAINFUL.If I overdo on anything I am put down with horrible pain. I take 3 pain meds every day and still can’t function normally. So do not judge people and their situation. On top of all of it I have arthritis throughtout my body. I can’t even go upstairs it is too painful. So do not judge people. It is ignorance to do so because you do not know each persons situation!!!!!!

Kathy
Butterfly, I too have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis in my right ankle. But exercise & movement are so important to managing these conditions. It took me a long time to realize that. But finding the level you can move and stretch (without overdoing it) is crucial. Ask your doctor, consult a fitness expert, or just start doing exercise from a chair while watching a DVD on exercise. I have been told that Tai Chi is a good type of exercise for folks with fibromyalgia.
It hurts when people look at you and don’t know you have a chronic, uncurable syndrome like fibromyalgia and they think there’s nothing wrong with you because they can’t see it.

i never said i never had a problem with weight btw.
i have, for most of my life, been in great shape. basketball teams, volleyball teams, sports and a moderate diet.
but when college started, weight gain was inevitable. 30 pounds later and i knew i needed to make a change.
since then ive lost about 15 and im in decent shape.
its not that people don’t know what you’re going through. its just that some, well most people need to realize when change is needed. however most people just continue their bad habits.

Jeniffer Thomas
how healthy and life changing- no?

I think most of them just need their jaws wired for extended periods of time. No cheating with milkshakes through a straw either

Weight issues can be a continual problem for some people. I myself am overweight by about 30 pounds but I’m working on reducing by eating less and exercising more. However, there are some health conditions that make a person either eat more or, because of their meds they need to take, end up gaining a lot of weight. You cannot rightly judge a person as fat or lazy due to their excessive weight. There could be underlying health issues you know nothing about. It’s not our place to judge people because of their appearance, weight wise or otherwise. The continual insistence of passing judgment is something Americans are known for and has made us appear arrogant to other countries.
Jeniffer Thomas
We are all different and we need to just accept it without the ugly judgement. Morbidly obese people suffer ( I know , I was 250 pounds and 5’2″ for most of my adult life.) I had gastric bypass 6 years ago and now weigh 108 pounds.
Eating is a struggle. Staying healthy is protein shakes and B12 injections I give myself. I even had to have an iron infusion (IV) due to such severe anemia.
It is not an easy life. Carnie has a certain body type that has adjusted to her surgery- WHO CARES? God bless her and I wish her health, peace and happiness- NO MATTER WHAT THE SCALE SAYS!
Kathy
I have never had a gastric bypass or lapband procedure, but I’m sure most people see it as a last resort to save their lives. I’m 50 and struggled with my weight since I was 5. It has impacted my life beyond measure. I have never liked myself, my self-esteem has been at rock bottom countless times, and depression has been a monkey on my back for as long as I can remember. I have sought therapy and tried all diets.
I’m hoping that I have now found what I’ve always needed: I read a couple of books, “The Zen of Eating” and “Women, Food and God”, and I’ve realized that IT’S ALL ABOUT DEALING WITH YOUR ISSUES INSIDE YOURSELF. If you don’t care for yourself, it show in all that you do. Your own perception of yourself has to be a good,healthy one.
AND, I took an Active Lifestyles class and part of it is I must exercise at least twice a week. I haven’t fallen in love with exercise, but I’m not hating it like I once did.
In this class I have learned that 51% of our health issues that cause whatever leads to our deaths are due to the lifestyle & behaviors we choose–WOW! That woke me up…You can need to love yourself and deal with what’s eating you inside before you can achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
