Faith-Based Diet Puts God Before Food
Weigh Down Workshop Touted, Criticized
UPDATED: 3:52 pm EST January 22, 2008
FRANKLIN, Tenn. -- Wouldn't it be nice to lose lots of weight without
even trying?
Some middle Tennesseans say they've done it with the help of what's
called the Weigh Down Workshop, WSMV-TV in Nashville reported
While it works in some cases, the method of the workshop has made some
question whether it is healthy.
Gwen Shamblin, a former dietician turned weight-loss guru, founded the
Weigh Down Workshop on a simple premise in 1986: Let God tell you when
you're hungry and when to stop eating.
"You've tried many things, but the answer is in turning to God,"
Shamblin says on an introductory DVD.
On the DVD, Shamblin tells followers to turn their love of food into a
love of God and the weight will fall off.
"Changing the food's content, dieting and changing your energy output,
exercising has not worked," she said.
In recent months, the Weigh Down Workshop, based in Franklin, has been
featured on everything from "The Tyra Banks Show" to Ladies Home Journal.
Program participants Maggie and Andy Sorrells are poster children for
the program. They lost a combined 500 pounds.
"I laid in my bed with chest pains. I thought, 'I'm going to die,'" said
Maggie Sorrells.
The couple have told their story on shows such as "The Today Show" and
"Inside Edition" and in People magazine.
"I just thought I was going to be the big guy my whole life," said Andy
Sorrells.
The drastic change in the Sorrells began in 2001, when they met on the
Internet and tied the knot.
"Everybody said when you get married, you gain weight. We could not gain
any more weight. We had to go the opposite direction," Maggie Sorrells
said.
The couple initially tipped the scales at nearly 1,000 pounds combined,
then began shedding their weight at a high rate.
"It's definitely all about praying and focusing on God and not on the
food," said Andy Sorrells.
But critics said the diet is a glorified form of starvation that
encourages people to eat only when their stomach growls or when they're
on the verge of passing out.
"I know people who've eaten five bites a meal and two meals a day," said
one critic who wished to remain anonymous for fear of retribution.
She was a Weigh Down Workshop counselor for more than a decade and said
most participants refrain from eating out of guilt.
"You feel like you're being watched if you eat, and you're frequently
weighed in front of leaders to see if you're losing or not," she said.
Shamblin often refers to other religions as counterfeit, using weight as
a means of identifying unconfessed sin.
Those who are successful at the Weigh Down Workshop are often recruited
to Remnant Fellowship Church, Shamblin's Frankin-based church that turns
the principals of the workshop into a whole new religion.
"I would say it is a cult that employs mind control and brainwashing and
is used to control a group of people to get them to do what you think
they should do," the critic said.
Many though, like the Sorrells, said they're healthier now as a result
of the workshop.
When asked if they think Shamblin is a prophet, Maggie Sorrells said, "I
think what she's told through the Weigh Down Workshop has changed our
lives, prophet in the sense of pointing us back to God, definitely."
However, the critic said, "There are Internet chat rooms filled with
quote, 'survivors,' people who say they're lucky to have made it out of
Remnant with their sanity intact. I think the scariest part is that the
members don't realize that they're being controlled, that they are under
really mind control in this day and age."
A woman in California said she developed bulimia after participating in
the Weigh Down Workshop and said she knew lots of others who had
developed severe eating disorders as well, fearing that if they gained
weight it could somehow affect their ability to go to heaven.
Shamblin initially agreed to be interviewed, but later canceled when she
learned the types of questions she would be asked, the television
station reported.
A church leader said allegations of mind control at Remnant Fellowship
Church are outlandish, and she encouraged curious people to visit the
church.

Exactly. Praying will not make you lose weight but it often makes people
lose their minds. :-p

Mabel tonne? I knew a woman named Mabel once. She was heavy, but I don't
think she weighed a whole tonne.

Different universes, on the other hand, are another proposition

Faith-Based Diet Puts God Before Food
Weigh Down Workshop Touted, Criticized
Oy vey, what a crock! Eat less and exercise more! :P
Exactly. Praying will not make you lose weight but it often
makes
people
lose their minds. :-p
It's those crackers!
Or the nuts.
Chung's testicles weigh 40 pounds each.
They say he's half nuts.
I thought that was his head.
You met him the wrong way up.
Must have been at a popular sailor's port!
Mabletonne, USA.
Mabel tonne? I knew a woman named Mabel once. She was heavy, but I don't
think she weighed a whole tonne.
That's a metric chung.
I don't thnk thats an accurate unit of weight though. He's such an
airhead, they have to tie him down to keep him from floating away.
Scientists are confident that gravity is the same constant, no matter
what planet one may be on.
Different universes, on the other hand, are another proposition
entirely.
I wish he'd go back then.
He's not on this planet, that is for sure, and a relief for all but
those who 'channel' him.

Faith-Based Diet Puts God Before Food
Of all the terrible tie-ins religious people have come
up with, this is one of the most abominable.
I picture some unhappy woman who for whatever reasons
has not been able to lose weight, and who will now
have to bear the additional burden of religious guilt
when this diet plan fails her. She'll worry that she's
not been a good enough Christian. She'll fret that
she's betrayed her fellow dieters. And what does a
person with this kind of eating disorder do when she
feels stressed and guilty? She eats more.

Faith-Based Diet Puts God Before Food
Of all the terrible tie-ins religious people have come
up with, this is one of the most abominable.
I picture some unhappy woman who for whatever reasons
has not been able to lose weight, and who will now
have to bear the additional burden of religious guilt
when this diet plan fails her. She'll worry that she's
not been a good enough Christian. She'll fret that
she's betrayed her fellow dieters. And what does a
person with this kind of eating disorder do when she
feels stressed and guilty? She eats more.
Preacher pointing at the unfortunate woman:
"You're fat because you're a sinner and going to Hell!"

Hallelujah! You're healed, brother. Now to stay healed just call the 800
number on the screen and make a very generous donation. If your
afflicition returns, just call again and leave more next. Remember Jesus
hates a cheapskate.
