Last time I checked, The Magic Chicken Diet was being operated by Bonnie Luper in Texas and she's giving out questionable health information.

Hmmmm...as Sheriff Andy might say...seems like there's a fox in the henhouse!
The context of the article is about websites that offer diagnosis of diseases or conditions. It doesn't say anything about diet advice websites.

But, it does say to beware of any health advice (and I think weight loss qualifies) found online. And it says if ANY Texan believes they've gotten "misleading or deceptive" medical advice online to contact the AG's office.

Wow. Now John is going after Singinglass aka Delaney Deaver. Apparently Amyb has many incriminating emails and possibly screen shots that will be of use to you, Jeanessa.

Good luck! And, tell John he's the bomb!

I'm buying stock in sponges and comet cleanser - as I suspect there will be some crazy scrubbing going on.

They need to scrub the whole site basically

As I read that part in his letter, I was reminded of TT's plea to SL to get out now any way she can. SL needs to quit being stubborn, or she will pay a big price.

Yeah, that menu she posted is only 585 calories according to my Fitday.

Oh, and if she didn't add any fat to that fish or shrimp then she only ate 13 grams of fat too. That's less than 30%

I'm thinking it might just be too late for Singinglass. Too bad, but she can't say she wasn't warned.

I know that some Ducks want to believe the law looks at diet advice in the same category as health advice, but I think it's a stretch. I just don't see Heidi or MCD in the same way as I do someone selling supplements and making outrageous claims about what it will do for your health and/or well being.

Sadly, it's true. It didn't have to be this way, but she has no one to blame but herself.

Ok, someone help me here. I tried making Cleo's Oopsie rolls today. (that's what they're called right?) Anyways, if Oopsies are what you call them when you mess up revolution rolls, what do you call it when you mess up an Oopsie roll? Stiff peaks NEVER formed. I got a little yolk in the whites, did that keep it from stiffening? I put them on the cookie sheet looking like pancakes, and needless to say they came out like flat bread.

You call it Whoopsie Flatbread!

Yep, egg yolk in the whites will prevent the whites from getting stiff. I know some say it isn't true, but somehow it always works out that way for me!

Thank you. I figured that was why. I'll have to go get more cream cheese to try it again.

Yes the yolk is why, when beating egg whites you need to use preferably a stainless steel bowl and make sure it and your utensils are very clean. When I made them I made oopsie flatbread instead LOL because I mixed the whites in too much afterwards, but still tasted great.

Take your eggs out the night before, and leave them in the shell of course. Eggwhites will obtain maximum peaks at room temp.

Some of you may be freaking out over that, but it was something I learned from a low carb meringue recipe.

Make sure your utensil and bowl are free of all oils.

I made some Oopsie Rolls yesterday, too. I used an herb blend instead of Splenda. Mmmmmm.....I had to use all the self-control I could muster to not just skarf them all down with just a little butter - okay, alot of butter. I'm actually looking forward to having an oopsie sandwich for lunch today.

Oopsies are basically a kind of meringue, and with meringue, ANY fat that gets in the egg whites can prevent stiff peaks from forming -- which is why it's important to keep the egg yolks out (for the most part).

I've only made Oopsies Rolls a few times, but here's what works for me when doing any kind of egg-white stuff:

1.) Use a metal bowl. Plastic tends to retain grease/oil, which makes it hard to form the stiff peaks

2.) Chill everything, including the metal beaters (if you're using a hand-held beater) or if you're using a counter top mixer, chill the carafe thingie. Especially chill the bowl.

3.) I add all the dry ingredients to the whites -- I think Cleo's recipe just calls for the cream of tartar, but I add the salt and the Splenda too, as they stiffen the whites better.

4.) If they're flat, they're flat. They taste the same, and I think they work better for sandwiches. My first batches were nice and puffy, but I deliberately flattened my last batch so they'd be more flatbread-ish.
