I work for a new women’s weekly magazine called Reveal. You can buy it from today!
I'm looking for women between 20 and 40 who are a size 16+ who want to lose weight. I need you to write a food diary for 7 days - everything you eat and drink for a week. The diary will be looked at by our new mag's very own nutritionist Gillian McKeith (I'm sure you've all seen her on C4s 'You are what you eat')
She will advise you on how to change your diet - scary it may be, but you know it's good for you! The advice will then feature in our fab new magazine, next to a small picture of you
Gillian really is the woman to ask if you need help in losing weight!
Use this as your chance to kickstart your healthy diet - by Christmas you'll have glowing hair, sexy skin and be able to fit snugly into your Christmas party dresses - What more can a woman ask for?!!
If you're interested, please contact me on katherine.barnes@natmags.co.uk or on 020 7439 5302

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Gillian McKeith the infamous cobbler together of pseudoscience with a mail order doctorate from a no-name US correspondence university?
Yes that's the one, Ms Gillian McKeith.
I mean Doctor McKeith; it must be a good doctorate if Ben Goldacre's dead cat can get the same accreditation, right? right?
Isn't Gillian McKeith the "Nutritionist" that thinks :
blue foods are good for "urinary tract infections, kidney problems [&] fevers?
by looking at the tongue you can tell the state of someone's gall bladder?
Chlorophyll is high in oxygen. And the darker leaves on plants are good for you, because they contain chlorophyll - the blood of the plant - which will really oxygenate your blood.
It’s [Fast Formula Horny Goat Weed Complex ] food from plants, and thus nourishing to the organs, energising, strengthening and totally safe.
Yet another purveyor of pseudoscience milking the media, ho hum.
I'd stay well away from her and start eating less saturated fats and processed food and more greens and pulses if you need to lose some weight.
Where do I pick up my doctorate?

Mrs Draggletail has been unable to get her usual 'nettle tea' herbal infusion lately - every shop she goes into blames Gillian McKeith for promoting it on her program:( Get some Tetleys in, thats what I tell her. Does she listen? Does she ever:roll:

Katherine...I think that just might be no.

Haha Phan. I must say I've really enjoyed reading several articles on Miss McKeith. The one involving the deceased cat obtaining the same qualification made me laugh for about half an hour. I also like the fact that she promotes a lot of rare dietary supplements that coincidentally happen to be sold on her website. She's great as a comic entertainer, but I do worry that there may be the odd person out there that may take her seriously. Actually, no, surely not. :confused:

Just goes to show what a tiny mention in the Guardian Life supplement can do...
I see there have been no response from KatherineB.......so surprises there then.
Well done Phan :clap: another bit of good work :thumbsup:

Phew, I'm glad I read all this. I was going to ask why male volunteers weren't acceptable 'cos i'd just love sexy skin for Christmas.
Anyway, I've gone on Draggletail's Tetley diet instead. I don't know if I've lost weight but I feel marvellous after the first two pints!
