Remember, it's all in the editing. PMG's editors back in the LA studio can take a 1,000 hrs of film & make anyone either a hero or a goat. Twit is a goat, from beginning to end. ?She is unable to handle the exertion required for TFM's tour. ? She is a petulant asshole about BGDC. ? She is a pathetic nutcase over Avi. ? Ditto about Ashley's pregnancy. ? She is abusive & ungracious to her father. ? She is shown on all fours with her ass in the air being rubbed down with lotion by a gay male. ? She turns a 4 mile stroll into the Bataan Death March. ? She then abuses not only Glenn but everyone else in her circle, apparently with the intent of ruining their vacation. Twit has said she doesn't see an episode until viewers do. And, since her wardrobe never changes, it's obvious the THs for the whole season are all filmed in one sitting without her actually seeing an episode in its entirety. I think she was genuinely horrified by how she looks in the last episode. That's why there's no crowing about it on FB -- no mention at all. That's why she keeps posting videos of exercising at the gym. What did TLC tell PMG about filming S-5? Were there instructions given to make Twit, who has gone rogue on TLC's initial premise, look as bad as possible? (That is, to show her REAL personality -- histrionic, boundary-less, very disabled, NOT fabulous at all.) If so, why? Has TLC decided this is the last season of MBFFL? Or has it told PMG the series will continue only if Twit goes along with being filmed as the world's biggest asshole? Very good observations. And we can only hope she was horrified--unless she changes her eating habits, however, all that gym work will be for nothing in the weight loss category. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20448-whitney-thore-so-she-thinks-she-can-dance/page/38/#findComment-4112915

Richard Simmons is a gift to the world and my actual honest to god idol (I was him for Halloween in 2016 and, despite being very fit, was struggling with a disability due to an injury--FYI, Richard Simmons using a walker is a charming sight that makes people think you're being ironic, and move your walker around because they think it's part of the costume and don't realize you actually need it). Anyway, Richard Simmons is a wonderful, exuberant human being whose attitude I try to emulate whenever I can. He made fitness accessible to people who never thought they were capable of exercising. He's a genuine and kind person and if Whitney gets the chance to meet him and doesn't take advantage of the gifts he has to give, I would be personally offended. She thinks she's hot shit but she would be incredibly privileged to have the chance to get to work with him.

When it comes to losing weight, the absolutely only relevant thing is whether or not one is consuming more than one is using, or less. This is an absolutely inviolate principle of the physics that governs everything in the known universe, including human beings. It does not matter whether that calorie deficit has been achieved in six small meals a day, or a single large one. Meal timing does not matter. Type of food does not matter one bit when it comes to weight loss. If the carbon going in is less than the carbon going out, the carbon based life form gets smaller. If the carbon going in is greater than the carbon going out, the carbon based life form gets larger. Your sister-in-law may have found it easier to maintain a deficit without binging because she ate more frequently, but I can guarantee you that it was absolutely not an increase in caloric intake that caused weight loss. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20448-whitney-thore-so-she-thinks-she-can-dance/page/38/#findComment-4128581
Elizzikra March 9, 2018 Share March 9, 2018 Quote Meal timing does not matter. It doesn't in terms of the mathematics but it absolutely does in terms of human behavior and physiology. People who don't eat all day and then eat one huge meal are more likely to consume more calories in that single meal than they are if they ate four or five smaller meals throughout the day. You go all day without food (or substantial food anyway - I think most people who claim to not eat "all day" actually consume a lot of calories in the form of a soda here, a handful of chips there, etc.). Your stomach is mostly empty and you aren't really satisfied. What do people do when they are really hungry? Eat fast. And when you eat fast - particularly when you are hungry, you are much more likely to a) make poor food choices and b) eat more than you need to feel full. I think most reputable dieticians will recommend smaller meals throughout the day so that you don't ever get too hungry. You don't want ever want to be starving when you sit down to eat. Same principle applies to the advice about never going to the grocery store when you are hungry. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20448-whitney-thore-so-she-thinks-she-can-dance/page/38/#findComment-4128629

Did you read my entire comment, or just that sentence you quoted? I specifically addressed the concept that some people, not all but many, find it easier to maintain a calorie deficit on smaller, less frequent meals. A lot of people firmly dislike their stomach being empty, feel really hungry, and then over do it when they do sit down to eat. These are people who benefit from smaller more frequent meals. I'm not one of them, and do far better on one small and one really large meal in a day. When I say I "go all day without food", I mean that for somewhere around 18 hours of my day I consume water, black coffee, unsweetened iced tea, and espresso. I don't snack. I don't feel "hungry", either. This is typical of those who find intermittent fasting or OMAD (One Meal A Day) actually works for them.

That means she accepted/accepts them in that intoxicated state. I don't know of too many people who put up with drunks unless they're also a drunk. So... Is Whitney an alcoholic? Or does she abuse alcohol? And given the high calorie content in alcohol, is alcohol part of her weight problem? Almost a year later, we know @Complexity was right about Buddy’s substance abuse. But what about Whitney? Is she an alcoholic? 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20448-whitney-thore-so-she-thinks-she-can-dance/page/38/#findComment-4130271

This is an absolutely inviolate principle of the physics that governs everything in the known universe, including human beings. It does not matter whether that calorie deficit has been achieved in six small meals a day, or a single large one. Meal timing does not matter. Type of food does not matter one bit when it comes to weight loss. If the carbon going in is less than the carbon going out, the carbon based life form gets smaller. If the carbon going in is greater than the carbon going out, the carbon based life form gets larger. Your sister-in-law may have found it easier to maintain a deficit without binging because she ate more frequently, but I can guarantee you that it was absolutely not an increase in caloric intake that caused weight loss. The eating too much or too little is NOT all about the calories, but timing definitely matters when it comes to metabolic rate and maintaining blood sugar, but I guess I'll agree to disagree. :-) Edited March 9, 2018 by connieinnc 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20448-whitney-thore-so-she-thinks-she-can-dance/page/38/#findComment-4131143

Is she an alcoholic? I am not willing to label someone I don't know an alcoholic. But I do believe that she takes in a lot of empty alcohol calories while "not eating enough." When she was living at her parents' house and Babs cleaned her room, she came out with piles of dirty plates, wine glasses and empty bottles. Also, have they ever shown them drinking on the show? Rarely; if she met her friends out for a normal glass of wine or two you'd think they'd show it. If all the drinking goes on after cameras leave, then it probably goes on to excess. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20448-whitney-thore-so-she-thinks-she-can-dance/page/38/#findComment-4131590

Maybe they're a paid audience. My guess is that TLC paid the group, and it needed the money. Just like rich parents endow colleges that admit their child. And NO, I don't think Juilliard will ever need money that badly. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20448-whitney-thore-so-she-thinks-she-can-dance/page/38/#findComment-4132507

I was wondering about that too, and I'm expecting to hear a lot of Whitney-like justifications early on. perhaps she's (Renee) realized how harmful this whole fat acceptance movement has become. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20448-whitney-thore-so-she-thinks-she-can-dance/page/38/#findComment-4149386
