You are referring, of course, to Susan STOP-THE-INSANITY Powter. Yes, she lost a lot of weight. Yes, she looked pretty terrific. She may even have lost the weight on a low-fat/high-carb diet. Some people can and do. Some people can keep it off that way. Others can't. This doesn't mean it's a good plan, because we all know the harm that kind of diet can do to your long-term health.

Some people have a greater tolerance for carbs. I don't. Perhaps she did.
