On tonight's 'You are what you eat'

[B00]

The know it all women presenter advised the tubby couple featured this week (after she tried to force sprouts down them) "you dont have to like the food, just eat it"

Does anyone else agree with me that I'd rather stay large than not enjoy my food???????

[gessoo]

BOO. I have posted my dislike of 'Dr' Gillian McKeith the presenter several times on this site. She looks absolutely dreadful and really ill to me. The people she 'treats' look far healthier and more attractive. Her ideas are pretty stupid and noone should eat food they dislike. There are better ways to lose weight! She is not a real doctor anyway, just a complete fake.

Stay as you are as long as you feel fit and happy and, of course, are not morbidly obese!!!!

[gessoo]

.... and tuck into that birthday cake...........eat it all!!!!

xxxxxx

[B00]

Well actually I didn't mean me personally, will admit to a few extra poundage here and there but I'm no tubby :-)

I was just annoyed at the way she patronised the (admitedly large) couple and the "dont have to like the food" sentance made me laugh out loud- what codswallop!

[scoobysoo]

I think Dr G's idea of what we should eat is totally unrealistic and stoopid! I personally believe in the Everything In Moderation way of thinking. You should still be able to get some pleasure out of eating.

[Gef]

Never seen the program or this "Doctor" although her name seems to crop up regularly. Surely everyone can find food that they enjoy even if they are on a diet.

[shaneystar2]

She is not a "Doctor "as such.In fact I think she has purchased her qualifications from an American type degree system and studied through a postal course of some sort.
She always looks to me as if she is about to pass out any minute.
I would not pay any attention to what she says and her poo fetish is laughable !
The only sensible diet is one recommended by professional people such as GP or qualified dietician.
I would rather starve than do some of the things she recommends.

This makes very interesting reading !
I have had to lose weight because of some health problems..but I have far more confidence in what my Practice Nurse advises than the utter cr@p GM churnsout.

[shaneystar2]

I can't spell or punctuate correctly either .Cripes ...runs and hides ....before W Butcher catches up with me !!

[juliely]

I think she is a really rude individual who constantly talks down to people. I have given up watching her programmes, just rubbish.

[shaneystar2]

By the way Boo ..don't mention sprouts while Vinny is in the area ! Lol !

[gessoo]

Oh B00 I didn't mean you personally. Sorry! I meant you as in 'one'

[lady_p_gold]

And does anyone else think the woman on "Honey We're Killing the Kids" is getting fatter every week ???? !!!!!

[Minxie]

hi Boo, think you are what you eat, always states the obvious. Yeah, eat loads of chips and takeaway. You will put on weight.

I am on a tight budget and takeaways are at most, once a year. We dont miss them.

But am also vegetarian, and a lot of the stuff she promotes, we eat anyway.

I am not super slim, nor fat. We dont go without. And sprouts, alfalfa especially taste delicious. Think its the way she presents it may put others off.

Try it. p.s. I love crisps and chocolate

as Im scottish I havent watched much of the pro this tme , but I do agree her "poo" fetish is somthing kinda erm fetish like , My husband swears if I ever got Gillain to come to our home he would eat a king donna keba the night before !!! , ,,,,just to so her just how smelly it CAN smell~~yes my hubby is american its his only excuse~
I personaly cannot stand seeing ppl on tv who have a problem with weight being patroiised by self made big eared hobbits like Gillian.

erm { goes in eats a 12 pack of cheese n onion and drinks a bottle of vodka with canberry juice!!}
eat me ,, you are what you eat!!

[sp1814]

'Dr' Gillian is the only person who currently makes me shout at the telly in our house. What really irritates me is how she goes on about how smelly the dieters poo is.

Seriously Gillian...what does yours smell of? Rose petals and freshly cut grass?

Totally winds me up...and yet...and yet...I find myself watching the flipping programme every week...just to get wound up.

[WendyS]

Like many others I need to lose a few pounds but I also enjoy my food and don't think anybody can be really motivated to lose weight if they're not enjoying what they're allowed to eat. Psychologically for most of us, actually being on a diet is a penance in itself, so getting pleasure from permitted foods is vital. Luckily there are so many healthy foods around that dieting can be manageable but honestly, who would want to drink a brussels sprouts smoothie for breakfast !!!

[gessoo]

'Who would like a Brussel Sprout Smoothie for Breakfast?'

Answer: Vinny! (and for lunch and for tea!!) ;o)

[whiffey]

Oh good, an I hate Gillian McKeith thread. I need something to replace my MasterChef vacuum.

GM is automatically loathable, she is obsessed with poo and makes me shout at the box too.

Fortunately I love all the 'good' foods like sprouts (4 times a week in season) and baked beans, and if I needed to lose a bit, just cut down on the Budweiser.

[brawburd]

There are enough foods in this world that you don't have to eat stuff you hate.

Okay, some people might have to try a bit harder to introduce veggies or whatever, but what a very stupid idea it is to force down something that makes you gag.

That woman is ugly, wrinkled, without personality, and completely judgemental.

As for the poo, I have a very healthy diet and digestive system and I don't worry if mine isn't the precise colour she dictates. How stupid!

More fool anyone who wants to go on the programme. And how very dangerous her approach is to people who already have self-esteem problems.

Aaaarrrggghhhh .... don't start me!!

[smudge]

I've only ever tuned in once to that programme & when the poo container was opened, I promptly gagged & switched over. Absolutely awful woman & programme.

I put Gillian McKeith in the same catgory as Trinny & Susannah - irritating & very patronising!

[VINNY100_2]

I hate that women...always sprouting off....right...im off to make a sprout smoothie ....(:-)
