Has anybody been watching this? I find it quite interesting. Has anyone followed the advice given out? A work colleague has been packed up with wholegrain bread ever since the white bread show.

good advice then, stuff yourself full of carbs you don't need.

I must be 50% steak at the moment.

I saw this by chance a couple of weeks ago. They showed a woman having a colonic irrigation with pieces of her sh*t flowing down a clear pipe. I wondered how anyone can let themselves be degraded in such a way.
How low can TV go ?

I have a friend whose cousin was featured in one episode ( I didn't see it but I think it was the 3rd one).

I guess you'd have to feel so desperate about your weight/health that you'd agree to being filmed in order to get some help.

Big Brother?

In this case, I feel the pros of the programme outweight the cons.

It's all useful everyday stuff.

I have changed my dietery habits as a result of watching a few episodes.

It does give you great tips on how to improve your diet....
and also these people would not get the help that themselves and families need, if not for the humiliation of it all.

i think its a great programme, will get a lot of people realising things they never knew and reminds us of some things we shouldnt eat.

just shows how bad dairy products actually are

But wait. Is she the person she claims to be ?

Some people are so gullable. Half the things she says are off the cuff comments that have no scientific meaning backed up with not one bit of proof.
She harps on about eating foods high in zinc but condemns red meat as food of the devil yet red meat is one of the food groups highest in zinc content. Its about time these scam artists are exposed for what they are. Taking advantage of people's obsession with diets.
Here's the Wibbles Diet and its free.
Eat a good mix of ALL foodgroups and exercise regularly.

I saw a couple of the programmes. I felt the trouble was they took families, who were so obviously eating the wrong foods that any idiot could have suggested ways to improve their diets. It would have been more interesting and informative if they took Joe and Jane Average and looked at their diets instead.

You are what you eat:

I am a large packet of Swizzels Parma Violets today, I am sweet and delicately perfumed.

But alot of what she says has alot of evidence to back it up like the fact dairy products are hard to digest and most adults cant digest them at all. Red meat is harder to digest so takes longer not good when shes trying to get people to lose weight fast. I just thing shes is over the top just because shes trying to get the people to listen and thats why the change in diet is so extream

Not sure why she makes them exercise i thought it was bad for people just to start sudenly

I've changed my diet too as a result of this show. I feel a million times better in just a week, and I didn't have to do much.

I've started having Bran Flakes for breakfast every day (loadsa fibre instead of nothing at all) and I eat my evening meal earlier so I don't go to bed on a full stomach, so I am sleeping better.

That's all I had to do to make me feel like a new person. I think that show should be given an award for public service!
