The calories alone on Josh's plate should have been more than what he needed to get through the day except he would definitely eat at least two more meals AND none of the calories were from fruit or vegetables before maxing out on the daily calorie limit. He should have a lot more grain than the biscuit before hitting his max calories. I just wish they just had biscuit and gravy and fruit. Or eggs and two slice of bacon with berries. I understand them wanting a southern breakfast, they don't need every variation on one morning. But anna isn't his mom. What he puts on his plate is his business. Anna looks perfectly fit for someone in and out of pregnancies. I pay no mind to her tummy, I think it's a shame people are always claiming a bump when there may or may not be one. But look at her build and arms and face and you just can tell she is doing fine. And her kids are doing fine too. 2/3rds of people are overweight or obese. Josh wants to do better. Least he accepts tips with grace. I suspect it's the candy in the glove box and not so much the meals. He also has been living in a fish bowl for years, and has a family to care for. That is a lot of stress. <br /><br />I think the double tops are to make sure the outer top does not ride up and leave an area exposed or that it doesn't expose armpits if they should raise their arms. Especially scooping down to pick up littles all the time. For the kids not all dresses cover the shoulders. kmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791551228094642235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-37568620624497082282014-09-23T17:06:10.645-05:002014-09-23T17:06:10.645-05:00I think Jill can't help that she interrupts pe...I think Jill can't help that she interrupts people a lot.

It would be cheaper for them to have a restaurant delivery truck once or twice a week deliver an order that probably Jana would have to make and they can deliver produce and meats. They would offer this large family a break on the price and they probably would spend much less than they do at a retail grocery store, purchasing 30 cans of soup for tater tot casserole, which is totally unhealthy to eat. They need to move away from the "combine and heat" prepared food recipes that they ingest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-35734684910526008742014-09-23T12:56:11.416-05:002014-09-23T12:56:11.416-05:00Unfortunately I don't think the Duggars eat ve...Unfortunately I don't think the Duggars eat very well. When watching the show you see a lot of packaged foods and diet mainly based on meat. There are very little vegetables and fruit. I understand the costs factor after growing up in a big family and now living with many bills and medical school loans. However, I prioritize eating organic/vegetarian over other things when it comes to where my money goes. The better people eat, the healthier they will be. Eating right can prevent diseases including cancers and heart disease. I wish this show would stop advertising such unhealthy eating habits. After being in the medical field for many years it is very easy to see what a poor diet that is high in meat and packaged foods can doAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-79720643304665275942014-09-23T09:23:21.042-05:002014-09-23T09:23:21.042-05:00I think TLC should do an episode where the Duggars...I think TLC should do an episode where the Duggars go green and eat organic for a week or so.

If he doesn't eat it, then she won't make it. We have seen her and the little cook and mash sweet potato for toddler food. It's not always meals that add on pounds, but the snacking. That is all on him. And then there is portion control, again all on him. I will say no one needs that much protein for breakfast. But again that is portion control. It's fine for her to make eggs and turkey bacon. And cheese is fine too. It would be great to show him showing dad Josh how to make Sunday morning omelette with veggies so dad can make breakfast. Just like with kids if you make them part of the process they are more likely to eat it. It would be a wonderful service for him to do for the family. Add some whole wheat toast and or fruit and it's lovely.

I think the pantry scenes are to show either sponsors or that they shop coupons and sales. They were raised on oranges, ground beef, tater tots and canned veggies. They were not raised on fresh vegetables and lean meats and fish. That costs a lot for families of 10 and 20. kmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791551228094642235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-55268846786799590642014-09-21T20:21:04.433-05:002014-09-21T20:21:04.433-05:00Everything in the new season seams staged, the foo...Everything in the new season seams staged, the food thing with Steve, the conversation with Ben moving there.

Josh does need to take his eating choices seriously. However, I felt the show may have made Anna be placed in an uncomfortable position by pointing out all the unhealthy foods she has in her pantry. Anna probably cooks what she knows best and what her husband will eat or enjoys. Caring for three small kids alone most of the time and trying to prepare dinner could be challenging to her. Asking her to create new meals using foods she may not know how to prepare could add to her stress (albeit, she needs to cook healthier for herself and family).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-46522808123773638082014-09-21T18:48:50.273-05:002014-09-21T18:48:50.273-05:00I laughed at this clip, eggs with cheese on top an...I laughed at this clip, eggs with cheese on top and bacon is actually healthy. Turkey bacon is lower in fat than pork. The unhealthiest thing was the biscuits. The grains should of been soaked and milled at home and the biscuits made from scratch. Probably the main reason Josh gained weight was because he stopped being so active.

Please take some advice from this old lady who has been married longer than her mother (imagine that!). Will someone out there who actually speaks to this family tell Jill to quit talking over and interrupting everyone around her who is speaking first. Especially with Derick. She continually does this and is just what she seems to do, like what she has to say is more important than letting the other person finish speaking. Derick may tolerate this in these shows right now, as he was still waiting to kiss her, but given a little time after marriage, and this will begin to grate on him. It is impolite and rude of her to do so. She also has done this with her sisters on that book tour they taped every time. This is some good advice which she should heed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-17318402784586811982014-09-20T22:03:48.062-05:002014-09-20T22:03:48.062-05:00he has gained weight since moving to Washington bu...he has gained weight since moving to Washington but he still looks goodAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-65534106782549672152014-09-20T19:40:28.422-05:002014-09-20T19:40:28.422-05:00Why won't you do an update on Jana Duggar?Why won't you do an update on Jana Duggar?
