Facing the Fat (2009)
Not one word about his future eating plan
He keeps talking about his health but never mentions what he is going to eat once he is back on food. In a few scenes he is seen salivating over terribly unhealthy food. He says the fast has not reduced his cravings for fatty food. I was shocked he never once mentioned what he was going to eat after the fast to keep losing weight or to maintain his weight. I was positive he was going to gain it all back. When the fast is over he is going to do 2 weeks of a juice fast. We again get no mention of his new lifestyle. This is just plain ridiculous! I just googled him and he gained it all back and then some. What a surprise! I wish I never ever watched this. To me the first day would be really hard but he never says "I'm starving" until about day 4.
I agree with the above reviewer who says he had to have lose more than 4 pounds of muscle. He had to be lazy and not exercise because it was dangerous to exercise. After 2 weeks of no food he had only lost 10 pounds. A 315 man who follows the weight watchers program can lost ten pounds the first two weeks. If he had gone on a 1500 calorie a day diet and exercised an hour a day he would have lost the same. I just can't condone stupidity. This was a total waste of time.
Transparent (2014)
So many stupid cliche's and in the 10's everyone is a lesbian on TV
I did like it at first. As many have pointed out the first season was pretty good but it went down hill in the second season. The oldest sister fighting with her husband seemed very realistic about how a lot of married couples interact. Everyone on TV in the past 7-8 years or so is a lesbian. You can't watch a streaming drama, movie or TV show, set in the present time without a lesbian couple or two. 15 years ago you never saw it or once in a blue moon. The lesbian angle is not shocking and ground breaking and cutting edge. No instead it is the cliché' of the '10s. The way it is presented on these shows it would appear that 50% of all women are lesbians. Now BOTH sisters are lesbians? What was the whole point of the younger Ali meeting the guy at the beach? What a waste of film, it had no point. Ali is a total spoiled brat and doesn't even look for a job. Ack I feel like I should finish all of it though, I am at the end of season 2 but I'm getting more and more annoyed with the idiotic plots and the annoying people. Like they were really going to kill Ed? They were all yapping about doing something that is illegal? Maura is great but his kids suck ass! That rabbi would not look twice at the ugly and non-religious son. His son Colton looks nothing like him, just not believable at all. I am going to plow through but Ali bedding Syd just is ridiculous and the Feminist professor plot line is also ridiculous.
