Fern Briton’s New Weight Loss DVD
THIS MORNING hostess Fern Britton’s new weight loss DVD comes in a slimline 16 collectable instalments.
In Episode 1, viewers will learn how to eat Ryvita crackers (in private), and listen up as “chubby” (Sun) Fern tells them: “I just ate a bit healthier and took up cycling to work … It’s taken me two years and a lot of hard work.”
Episode 2 comes with a complementary bottle of ether, a pad of cotton wool and instructions how to puncture a wound in a stomach and insert a bicycle inner tube.
Episode 3 and Fern’s celebrity chef husband Phil Vickery is fingering his Sabatiers, drawing lines on Fern’s naked tum-tum and opining: “Fern has lost a lot of weight through cycling, walking the dog and not eating too much - simple as that.”
Episode 4 and wrapped in bandages, the Mirror sees a picture gallery “bragging” of Fern’s”amazing transformation”. One picture is reportedly captioned: “Fern … began losing weight by eating sensibly and doing regular exercise.”
A picture of her new size 16 figure instructs: “After sticking to her healthy eating plan Fern’s dresses were getting smaller and smaller!”
Says Anne Diamond: “Only ignorant, unfeeling snobs would call Fern a cheat for getting a gastric band to sort out her body…
Like those snobs at the Sun, who say: “CUDDLY TV star Fern Britton faces the sack from Ryvita after admitting she had surgery to lose weight.”
Says an “advertising expert” in the Sun: “Ryvita won’t be happy — they can’t have their brand tainted by a lie.”
Episode 6: “Fern knits two Ryvtia into a sensational Gucci outfit to kick off her new wardrobe…”

But didn’t Fern Britton do the DVD years ago? do you mean the pilates one?
I still think good luck to her. Being in the public eye doesn’t have to mean baring your soul to the world. Not our business how she chooses to lose weight is it? Maybe if the media weren’t so focused on size then there wouldn;t be so many eating disorders on both sides of normal.
Yes, I too lean towards savoury things though I am vegetarian (if its got a face or a mother I don’t eat it) and never fry anything. I eat quite healthily on the whole I just eat too much of it and work at home sitting on my arse most of the day which is rapidly shaping itself into the shape of my office chair which acts like a great big jelly mould!!
Bring on the gastric band I say!

Why not do it the cheaper way? Ditch the surgery and just wrap a gastric band a few times around around the biscuit tin until it’s too tight to open?

Cheese is my weak point, sweet stuff doesn’t do it for me

Talking of controling husbands
Time does fly on Anorak, must go prep the evening meal or Mr Matty will not be a happy bunny, especially if he finds out it’s my lack of control with my time spent on Anorak to blame!!
Good job I know how to delete the history

Matty , my husband has given up on the Anorak site….

June- I have no problem with the surgery, what I have a problem with is Fern putting her face to a DVD showing how good she looks and how we Joe Public can achieve it.
Most of Joe Public can not afford such surgery and for the NHS to help you have to be in a very bad way indeed.
Matty
compared to lots of them she has had very little surgery, think of the facelifts / peels /boobs enlarged,/ ribs removed/ liposuction/ botox the list is endless, but the same people have dvds out telling the same old us how to look good.
I of course achieve it naturally as I can develop tunnel vision and ignore the love handles, droopy bits wrinkles and what have you and see pure perfection…………………….:)

Is there a disclaimer on the DVD that says:
Warning, you may not achieve your goals as quickly and effectively as Ms Britton unless you to have had gastric band surgery.
At the end of the day she does look good and has changed before our eyes on TV and in the press. She also put her name to a DVD and is promoting a healthy lifestyle , excercise and healthy eating. All that is not a bad thing but she achieved her goals in that space of time by using surgery aswell. Will the normal Joanna Blogs not feel a bit disheartened that their goals are not achieved as swiftly?

Matty
At least she did tell us, but excess weight isn’t good for joints , heart or longevity.And,to be fair to Fern she is in the vainest of careers, and has resisted all that nonsense.But she still looks well ,a dn doesn’t look like the average stick insect either.
But it wasn’t up to her husband, it was Fern who has to control what she eats,or take other steps, he can help support her, but making her eat something only he says is control.

dairy- but does she have to market a DVD as much as saying, “you can look good like me if you do this DVD”.
June 2nd, 2008 at 2:38 pm
don’t think so Matty - she specifically said that although she chose to do it herself, she would never recommend it for anyone else, which I think is fair enough. I don’t think people go that willingly into the surgical option these days, with all the risks involved..
June 2nd, 2008 at 2:38 pm
Slim Whiteman- my sentiments exactly!!
The London marathon was a good analogy!!
June 2nd, 2008 at 2:34 pm
I agree she does look good but to have potentially life threatening surgery to achieve that goal is a bit extreme.
Could her chef husband not have preped healthy tasty meal alternatives to her normal diet?
I think it is sad to see someone get to the stage where the only option they see is surgery.
I definitely don’t think she is a good spokesperson for the walk the dogs, eat healthy, do pilates and buy my DVD. As a person speaking out about changing your lifestyle to achieve your weightloss goals is Fern also sending out a message that we can achieve it much quicker if we have a gastric band?

Gastric band?…. That should really drastically reduce the stomachs capacity for food intake!….They’ll only be enough daily room to eat one whole Victoria Beckham !
June 2nd, 2008 at 2:10 pm
Gastric band!….Wot no 100% commitment to dieting?….She sort of cheated big time didn’t she!…. Whats the title of her her next book/fitness DVD ‘How To Do The London Marathon On A Moped’?

Dairy 6. So do I!

I think she looks great!

Maybe they need to sneak in under cover of darkness and attack in between meals.
Be hard to catch me unawares; because I work at home and not too far away from the fridge I tend to graze constantly. the old joke fits me perfectly.
I’m on the seefood diet. See food and eat it!
Will-power must be a wonderful thing…..

Before or after lunch?
June 2nd, 2008 at 10:09 am
Geee…. leave her alone! (not you, the tabloids) They made it into an issue in the first place.
Why should she have to tell anyone? hardly a crime.
In fact I want one! Now.
