Shopping With Susan (1993) 

The info provided might be WAY outdated, but there's no denying that Susan is a blast to watch!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!

This is one of my favorite videos ever. What a masterpiece!!!!

"If you like styrofoam, you're gonna like rice cakes" lmfao

"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 followed her advice in the early 2000s and actually was the thinnest I’ve ever been in my life.

Join Susan as she fills her cart with loads of sugar and chemical laden processed foods.

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.

She is so wrong but I can’t help but like her.

Now I want to shop in the middle of the night too

Back in the 90s when they thought fat made you fat. 😂😂 But she is entertaining!

She refuses to buy olive oil but readily buys "low-fat" cupcakes, stuffing, and bread for French Toast?!? Stop the Insanity, indeed!

I love pasta and rice. Beans are great. Lentils, toasted barley, millet, scrambled eggs.

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.

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.

Skip the veggies? You need vegetables no matter what shape you’re in. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I absolutely disagree with all of her dietary advice but I love her so much she's adorable.

Can we talk about how gorgeous she was for a moment😍

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.

Have a soda if you want a soda... lol

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.

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.

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.

It’s hilarious when she leaves the store when she picks the phone up & freaks out & hangs it up😂😂🤣🤣

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.

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.

05:13 the sleep paralysis demon has entered the chat.

Her workouts are so good but the food is a no

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.

She gets a heaping cartful.... Only brings in 4 bags 😂😂😂😂

I recommend along with this video, is Susan Powter's second book entitled, "Food".

5:16, When Susan Shows Me Heaven

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!

One of my mom’s friends gave her this on vhs once and I watched this as a kid lol

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.

I've created "Shopping With Susan" to answer the questions you have about getting the fat out of your kitchen, shopping and re-stocking with high-volume, low-fat food. "Shopping With Susan" will help you make the right choices. Remember, food doesn't make you fat, fat makes you fat!" _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

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.

I was entirely confused by everything she was saying.

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.

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.

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 think I'm a fan of Susan in a time machine.

Susan also should have given the same speech for fruit and vegetables as she did for beans and rice.

31:26 my favorite part lol

Did her shirt go blue to purple?

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 miss the old Susan she was hilarious

I love Susan's personality, a born saleswoman. She reminds me of a puppet, the way she moves her torso and head.

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

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.

How much fat is in water? Think about it

I wonder how she shops now.

WATER

32:47 for the This is Dan Bell fans!

This video should be set to Vaporwave music.

This lady is fascinating! Even if I don't agree with what she's saying lol

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 😆

Or the food pyramid's going to become the food rectangle

So funny how we now know how wrong this was!!!

this helped me thank you so much Susan. I have.a crush on yous

i was looking for this

Problem is..... we're going to hear water is bad for you and sugar is good ! < this is the problem summed up very quickly.

this is true comedy

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.

She’s so Mel Gibson from lethal weapon 🤣🤣🤣

Susan was ignoring the sodium and sugar content - and not all fats are bad.

there is no way orange roughy is 50% fat

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.

wonder if the drapes match the curtains?

Wow!

“And there’s this creamy white stuff!” Uhhh

“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.

Loving that ugly 90s kitchen, lol

Wow woww wow

Okay, I really like her workouts but I'll skip her food advice.

In NYC and NJ I've been shopping around 11 pm to 1 Egg wines are disgusting. Make ice cube pops from tea or coffee.

fell asleep to this

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!

😂😂😂

4:15 Banana Split for dinner? Seriously?🍧🍌

Gosh this is wrong on soooooo many levels😜

4:53

she slays

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.

She was Sooo wrong as it turns out. God bless her. We all now know that a "Good fat", high veggie, no gluten, some fruit diet is the best

I know someone that admits to using methamphetamine with Susan and the crew while shooting this video 📹

If you ate like this broad you’d be 300 lbs in a few months.
