you are what you eat

has anyone done gillian mckeiths diet? I have her book and I'm thinking of trying it out...

would love to hear any sucesses or how awful it is..x

Never in a million years could I do it. It obviously works wonders, but seriously how long could you keep it up? Any of her products cost a fortune too, complete rip off. I remember seeing her on telly giving Michelle MacManus a rollicking for having ONE glass of wine on a night out with her pals!! The woman needs to lighten up. I also wouldnt trust her with her calling herself a doctor when she bought her doctorate online from America!! Im sure anyone who has worked their ass off for a real PhD was mega annoyed at that!

I would n`t touch her diets with a barge pole. Sensible eating can be done by ayone WITHOUT spending a fortune of the stuff she tells you to eat.

Some of her principles are good though, I do believe her when she says our digestive tracts cannot deal with high levels of animal protein, that we can get protein elsewhere. I also think we as a society consume to much dairy produce and many people are intolerant to it without realising.

[cheffron]

yes I believe that as well.

I havent had dairy or wheat today and feel faint. But I have a nice bean and tuna sala and then pineapple..I think I'll try and make everything tasty!

thanks...

has anyone tried it on this site?

I haven't tried her diet, but for a few weeks i have been eating fruit, veg, fish nuts and seeds etc and feel a lot better for it ,basically just cutting out all the processed rubbish and eating healthy and ive lost nearly a stone, and also if i fancy something like a glass of wine, chocolate bar ill have one,i don't deny myself. i think its all about moderation. I can see where shes coming from though with all the raw food and stuff but i couldnt be that strict.
good luck if you try it! x

There's no great secret, her diet works because it's very low calorie, basically you starve! It's not bad from a nutritional point of view but actually having to eat some of the cack she prescribes is bordering on Human rights abuses! You can lose weight but no one can keep that up, she certainly doesn't she's not a very good add for her program is she, looks like death warmed up if you ask me. You can achieve similar results with a sustained healthy eating and exercise program. Just be sensible you don't have to live on the sh1te she comes up with!
