The info provided might be WAY outdated, but there's no denying that Susan is a blast to watch! She's got great presence and is absolutely hysterical, like a kid in a candy store!
Who said it was outdated? Susan always said that her diet plan wasn't something she created. The government knew that this way of eating and exercising would help people lose weight but they kept it unwraps so they could make money off people with diet scams and products
I reversed my diabetes in 60 days. Zero Sugar, carbs, and dairy. I basically eat vegetables, berries, chicken, fish, steaks, coconut milk, teas, with stevia, and some sparkling water, occasional zero sugar pop. Taking fish oil and a probiotic supplement. I no longer require metformin or jardiance prescriptions. I did reintroduce some carbs like sweet potato on occasion and some dairy like cheese on occasion into my life but at a 1/4 of what I use to intake and monitor my sugars to keep in safe ranges. Life is beautiful you all can do it.
That's amazing! That takes a HUGE amount of self discipline and control. Good for you! You must've lost a lot of weight too. Do you feel a lot better too?
"the old days when we took off the bun and ate the hamburger, now we eat the bun and take off the hamburger" haha went full circle to taking off the bun again
I had read her book 20 years ago and here I see her talk move and in color. Awesome! She is wrong in many things but especially for her time right in many things, too. Gotta love her energy and her body, too.
@@theedspage Agree, except for the salt. As long as you use natural salt rather than the white stuff, and up the potassium levels, you are doing your body a mighty favour 😊👍
The problem with processed low fat food products is that they add a lot of sugar. Since this video they have also found a way to put all sorts of new chemicals in the food. Whole foods is really the safest way you can go.
You're so right. I remember the low fat craze and it was off the charts. EVERYTHING was low fat/lite. People were gorging on fat free carbs. Funny, we didn't _really_ start all getting fat until GMO foods came onto the market in the late 90s. Once that happened and high fructose corn syrup was in everything, then we all ballooned.
Same here. Keto was torture and even though I lost weight I was weak and tired. At least with low fat eating and exercise you can have pizza or a burger once in a while and not erase all your hard work
It is just a sign of the times. They didn't know about preservatives, transfats, and dangerous processed foods. There are so many other health complications that we are riddled with these days, that we cringe at the sodium and sugar levels that she had in her basket.
I love this video, I have to do low fat for health reasons, I have irritable bowel syndrome. Nobody is low fat these days anymore so it’s harder to find info about it. I do disagree with her that fat makes you fat, the only thing that makes you fat is eating more calories than you burn.
Every body is different and this goes for individual needs. I do best on a low fat, low animal protein approach to this day. Only difference between now and then is I stick to whole foods. I don't do processed junk.
My blood type is O+ (the oldest blood type). I do better on higher protein with some fat. High carb makes me gain weight, feel lethargic and increases my cravings.
Many don't get it BUT Susan Powter is the fat-burning QUEEN > 7:11 burns fat and makes you want water > I use Perrier water to flush the low fats from my body. Cinnamon burns fat too.
Susan, you are in the wrong isles and even if you take in small amounts of poison SUSAN, it is STILL POISON. I DO dearly love your workout videos and THANK YOU for them. I LOVE you, Susan.
The 90s were clueless when it came to vegetable based fats like avocado or peanut and their benefits. I wish they would’ve known more about the importance of eating a plant based diet.
I love her energy in this and it's a great time capsule for 90s supermarkets. Im still confused after all these years about low carb vs low fat. I have a feeling both are correct, plus exercise. Id love to see her update this now.
I love water. Thats mostly what I drink. Eat normal food. Stay away from processed and diet stuff unless you need it by your doctor. I love plain rice cakes. Make your own popcorn.it costs less too. I love food shopping. I hate mayonnaise. This is basically a good video to help people that need better food choices.
The problem with her statement to only drink water when you're thirsty is that oftentimes if you wait til you're truly thirsty to start drinking water, you may already be getting dehydrated.
The food on the three tables at the end seems so lacking. Dry toast, dry omlette. Lunch is a sandwich you choke on and bakes tortilla chips. Pass the water. Dinner is dry grilled chicken and potato stuffed with water "sauteed" vegetables. Instead of high volume, low fat she should stick to lowish volume food with some carbs, proteins and fats. Of course a huge bowl of granola and two donuts with icing will make you fat and it's not even the fat, it's the carbs!
Now weee taught sugar is what creates fat and fat in foods in good amount keeps your skin plump your hair healthy thick and shiny gives you energy nourishment to your body’s ❤
Her shopping cart is full of the same cheap sugar/sodium/carb-laden stuff food banks give out. Cereal, soup, pasta, crackers, rice, beans, potatoes, processed foods.
Everyone making fun of her choices-that is what worked for her. She went from 260 to 114 pounds, and she is still that weight here in 2024. So what she is doing is not wrong.
How do you know her weight today, at 66 years old, now barely scrapping by as an UBER eats driver delivery person? She’s elderly now, and she is poor. I’m not so sure she’s still the weight she was nearly 30 years ago.
I decided for the hell of it to try this diet a few years ago. I lost a few pounds in the beginning then gained consistently. She loooves the breads and pasta. Yeah no!
I'm losing weight on her plan now so you obviously didn't do it right. You have to fo the fat formula with bread and pasta. A lot of bread is loaded with fat
@@Butterfly22593 This is from the 90s when the sugar industry was blaming fat for being fat. Not all fat is bad. Sugar and carbohydrates cause spikes in insulin making you hungry.

Damn, I'm glad she was wrong. Fat tastes GREAT, won't raise your blood sugar, keeps you full, and is extremely satisfying. Also obvs reference from Dan Bell about J A M S
I love Susan but back then they were so stuck on lowfat you end up with cart full of processed junk. She totally skipped the produce isle that should have been the first place. But stocked up on canned fruits and vegetables, lowfat chips and cake and soda 😆
In the age of Keto: THIS IS SO OUTDATED, especially after watch Dr. Berg's video of Grocery shopping the Keto Way. But this is so 90s and J A M S I can't hate it, it's 90s cheese I love watching.
38:30 Got me. She helps people lose weight, and that's awesome 👌 But I've always had a low fat diet, and sometimes i forget to eat Lose weight, gain weight. Diet is different for everyone.
I admit that PAM cooking spray is basically all fat.. but your using only a .5 second spritz on a frying pan.. At only 4 calories a serving.. You have to draw the line somewhere... I can understand cooking oils are all fat.. but slurping a few tablespoons of oil into a frying pan... and likely 40 to 75 calories... it makes PAM a viable alternative! Regarding the egg issue.. yes.. taking the yokes out is great.. but I for one am not a fan of straight egg whites.. If your going to make French Toast.. my idea is this... One whole egg and then 3 egg whites mixed with low fat milk.. It tastes almost the same as French toast that is made with one egg for each slice of bread... WATER...! Yes... it's part of dieting.. and yes.. you can drink as much as you like or as little as you like. What a lot of people do not know is that you get most of your water and liquid intake from the food you eat. Still, drinking 4 to 8 eight ounce glasses of water on a daily basis is not a bad place to start... MILK! Now for those that like 2% milk there is not much that you can do... And while Susan is correct that its 32% fat per serving.. 1% is 22.5% fat... I know she steers viewers to the fat free option.. but I have never been able to stand skim milk! so I am willing to go with "low-fat" 1% in my daily intake!
Well I did her program back in the 90s and lost 30 pounds in 2 months with no problem whatsoever. It was extremely easy ... now I'm trying a little bit of keto.. mostly intermittent fasting but the keto doesn't seem to be working... I love the fasting... I know that Atkins diet squeezes every ounce of water out of your cells and makes you feel like you're losing weight but you're actually dehydrated.. I'm thinking now that keto might be the same but I'm still going to try and see how I feel about it.... the only thing to do is experiment yourself
@@PuertoRicoPat I been on keto for over a year now. it was really hard the first month or so but oh wow do you see results!! I have lost over 45 lbs. it doesnt work for everyone but to each their own. it really works for me and I no longer crave sugars n tons of carbs.hope it goes well for you!
Aaron Creagh have you ever heard of Dr MC Dougalls diet "the starch solution"? People have lost tons of weight on that diet eating almost nothing but starches. Google the before and afters. The truth is that you can eat a low fat diet and lose weight..... And you can eat a low carb diet and lose weight. Boils down to which way you prefer.
For people saying this is wrong, it may be wrong to you now. It wasn’t wrong during the 90’s. Besides, Susan’s funny. I loved watching this on vhs when my mom borrowed it from her friend. Also, today we have plant only, climate change obsessed liberals who deprive themselves of treats. It’s about moderation, not diet or punishment.

What do you eat for breakfast?
That's amazing! That takes a HUGE amount of self discipline and control. Good for you!
You must've lost a lot of weight too. Do you feel a lot better too?
I followed her advice in the early 2000s and actually was the thinnest I’ve ever been in my life.
She is so wrong but I can’t help but like her.
Eating healthy food is wrong?
Too much processed foods
@@mangorawhoney1981She was just giving people options to eating better. The sample meals she gave at the end weren't all processed
I didn’t say that but a person has to have fat in their diet, healthy fats, olive oil, avocado, salmon etc
I love pasta and rice. Beans are great. Lentils, toasted barley, millet, scrambled eggs.
"If you like styrofoam, you're gonna like rice cakes" lmfao
If nothing else, I agree with her on that!
Now I want to shop in the middle of the night too
That would be so dope. No crowds, no lines, and it's quite
My anxiety wish I could shop alone
"the old days when we took off the bun and ate the hamburger, now we eat the bun and take off the hamburger" haha went full circle to taking off the bun again
This is one of my favorite videos ever. What a masterpiece!!!!
She refuses to buy olive oil but readily buys "low-fat" cupcakes, stuffing, and bread for French Toast?!? Stop the Insanity, indeed!
The stuffing and bread are fine. Too many damn "cArBs BaD!" clueless people.
@@melindaroop1346 What do you think french toast is?
I had read her book 20 years ago and here I see her talk move and in color. Awesome! She is wrong in many things but especially for her time right in many things, too. Gotta love her energy and her body, too.
Join Susan as she fills her cart with loads of sugar and
chemical laden processed foods.
So glad it is not JUST me that knows. THANK YOU for sharing the truth.
I noticed too - it's not just fat (and in reality, not all fat is bad), processed sugar, and excessive sodium are also killers.

Skip the veggies? You need vegetables no matter what shape you’re in. 🤦🏼♀️
People already know veggies are healthy so she didn't need to mention it
Back in the 90s when they thought fat made you fat. 😂😂 But she is entertaining!
Right? Now we know that high glycemic foods increase insulin thereby causing weight gain. The Fat Storage and Hunger Hormone...
Back in the 90s people were much thinner than today. This current obsession with "healthy fats" does not seem to work.
@rebeccaa.3121 I don't think Salmon, avocado, and almonds are the reason people are more overweight.
After a lifetime, the only method that ever worked for me was LOW FAT. KETO was the worse
for me. I hated the food and felt awful.
I love Keto
Same here. Keto was torture and even though I lost weight I was weak and tired. At least with low fat eating and exercise you can have pizza or a burger once in a while and not erase all your hard work
I have read about a study that said low fat is the most sustainable in the long run. Keto and low-carb are difficult to follow.
It is just a sign of the times. They didn't know about preservatives, transfats, and dangerous processed foods. There are so many other health complications that we are riddled with these days, that we cringe at the sodium and sugar levels that she had in her basket.
I recommend along with this video, is Susan Powter's second book entitled, "Food".
I love this video, I have to do low fat for health reasons, I have irritable bowel syndrome. Nobody is low fat these days anymore so it’s harder to find info about it. I do disagree with her that fat makes you fat, the only thing that makes you fat is eating more calories than you burn.
No no no check out a movie called fathead it will give you a different perspective, hope this helps
Exactly! It all comes down to the calories.
I absolutely disagree with all of her dietary advice but I love her so much she's adorable.
One of my mom’s friends gave her this on vhs once and I watched this as a kid lol

Her workouts are so good but the food is a no
You tried it?
And here we are today, fatter than ever. Should have stuck with low fat.

I love Susan's personality, a born saleswoman. She reminds me of a puppet, the way she moves her torso and head.
pooped pants in 1993.. im afraid of park bathroom that had black toilet seats are really scary wow
I miss the old Susan she was hilarious
I wonder what happened to her?
She became feminist and lesbian. Nothing wrong with either, but a radical change from her previous self.
The problem is " VOLUME" . If we ate ONLY 1 cookie a day and 1 potato chip and a half can of tuna we'd lose a LOT of weight.
True but you wouldn't be able to maintain it
Yep. It really comes down to the calories ingested.
This lady is fascinating! Even if I don't agree with what she's saying lol
this is true comedy
I wonder how she shops now.
i was looking for this
Or the food pyramid's going to become the food rectangle
I love Susan but back then they were so stuck on lowfat you end up with cart full of processed junk. She totally skipped the produce isle that should have been the first place. But stocked up on canned fruits and vegetables, lowfat chips and cake and soda 😆
Everyone already knows that fruit and vegetables are healthy so she probably thought that wasn't necessary

Lose weight, gain weight. Diet is different for everyone.
“From low fat potato chips to frozen meals!” Yikes. I remember watching this as a teen and knowing even then that she was somehow full of shit.
You missed the part about reading labels. Just because something says low fat doesn't mean that it is
How much fat is in water? Think about it
this helped me thank you so much Susan. I have.a crush on yous
Problem is..... we're going to hear water is bad for you and sugar is good ! < this is the problem summed up very quickly.

she was 260 lbs so it worked for her.
