Do you consider Gillian McKeith a 'Food Nazi'?

Question

I have watched a few shows of 'You are what you eat' on TV and felt uneasy watching Ms McKeith humilate poor people.

I also think its disgusting that she has her 'perfect poo' mounted on her bathroom wall??? Argh.

Is she the Simon Cowell of Healthy Eating?

Answer 1

I personally think she is a nasty little woman, she humiliates people who already have low self esteem. I understand the shock tactics and have no problem with that, but providing a poo is beyond the pale.
I also think she is a shade ridiculous in the regimes she gives them, grass juice drinks and the like, a healthy diet loaded with fruit and veg and lots of water and exercise are by far the best ways to a healthy life. There is too much emphasis on size, I am a lovely large woman, I eat a very healthy diet and exercise, and no matter what I do, the inches do not reduce, But I have very low cholesterol levels and absolutely fine blood pressure. Any doctor I see immediately assumes I stuff myself full of crap and when they do the health checks they eat their words and I don;t abuse my body. Yes, I like chocolate too, who doesnt, but a couple of squares satisfies my craving not the whole bar, I believe a good balance of everything and not silly shakes and juices and regimes

I personally think that she looks emaciated and scrawny and looks her age, I dont look my age and would hate to be skinny

I have seen the programme and understand the need for change with many people, but she does not need to belittle them, they are adults after all

She's also been stopped from calling herself Dr Gillian Mckeith, what does that tell you?....

Answer 2

As food Nazis go she's right up there on the top table.
Perfect poo! That's something 3 year olds do! If that's a hobby then she's really whacked!
True she uses overwhelming tactics on her 'victims' but it's more like scorched earth! The poor buggers probably need therapy AFTER seeing her!
Actually, she's like someones overbearing mum who's been tasked to look after you for one whole terrifying week and you pray to God that you get your neck trapped in a drawer within the first 15 seconds.
The Diet doctors are a bit like food nazis but at least they're a bit nicer AND much better to look at. Talking of which has anyone noticed that Vicki Edgson looks a bit like Justine Bateman! Spooky.

Answer 3

I agree, her "doctor" status comes from a dubious American university that is accessed over the Internet, the "diploma" costs 30$ US and take 5 minutes to download. She humiliates "fat people" into eating healthy and has an unhealthy obsession with poo. What is her jig? I think she's into s n m and poo games and only bullies people because she feels better about her self. Well, if she came to my house, i would eat the worst foods possible to produce the worst poo possible, then I'd make her eat it and ask where her "degree" stands now.

rant over

thank you

Answer 4

She's so annoying. I can't stand her programmes, and her new "Gillian moves in" programme (it's actually the other way around - the poor victims move in with her) is even more so. Imagine demanding to see someone's poo then complain that it stinks. Duh!

Can't stand that programme, but for some reason my wife loves it.

I think the programme feeds on people's needs to see that their own situation isn't as bad as the other people they see on TV. But then again, what does that say about what I think of my wife's viewing habits?

Answer 5

Yes and she is also a fake doctor, she has been told to remove the doctor title because it was bought on some dodgy internet site. Somebody said they were at a party and she was there with her husband and believe it or not but this is what I heard, that she scalded her husband for eating the party-food and promptly produced from her handbag a container containing raw fruit and veg and made her husband eat it. What a horrid woman she appears to be.

Answer 6

This is the woman who goes around touting a "degree" she got over the www I believe. I don't therefore think I'd take too much notice of anything she says - well, actually, NONE, and as for the wall-mounting, I think that just about sums her up! It's a perfect description of what I think of her without me actually having to say it !

Answer 7

Just answered a question about her - who would want to eat what she eats and end up looking like a scrawny chicken - oops, you can't eat that can you.

Just beans and lentils to get the perfect poo, I'll keep mine as it is. Would rather be a food junky than live like that.

Answer 8

She goes well over the top. She doesn't look very healthy to me either. Bet she's either got or will develop Osteoporosis! I wouldn't follow any diet she recommended - I'd rather have a bit of weight on me than look as scrawny and unhealthy as she does!

Answer 9

people like her are encouraged by the viewers/ bookbuyers. people are so into trying to improve themselves, preferably overnight that anyone can get themselves into her position. she does know what she's talking about, but her methods are a bit strange to say the least, which is probably why she has a television series. as for the poo, well that tells you all you need to know, would you trust the judgement of someone who did this? for instance would you trust a doctor at a fertility clinic who kept a sample of his own sperm?

Answer 10

She's a quack, and her shows should've been pulled years ago. The Guardian recently ran an excellent piece on her, completely exposing her as a dangerous fraud.
