That's what was good about Celebrity Fit Club - you had people like Andy Fordham who were grossly obese, and then the likes of Tina Baker who were carrying an extra stone or so.
Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

He lost over 3 stone, but in relative terms that isn't that much, as he was 30 stone to begin with - 19 stone overweight!

It's true, no matter what weight you are you are made to feel fat by TV and magazine's.

Gillian should do a programe for people who are only a couple of stone over weight. Say for example a lady of about 5 foot in height, weighing around 10 - 11 stone. i would find a programme like that interesting.


I almost qualify so could I volunteer please? (5 ft 2, 10 stone)

What I found interesting about 'You Are What You Eat' is when they tried all the new food they actually enjoyed it!

The only thing I couldn't be doing with is those cucumber juices - they just look wrong

I must admit I don't like cucumber. I can't say i'm made about cabbage
and broccolli, but it's eatable. I just can't eat cucumber, as well as
fresh tomato's.

I liked the idea that as long as you are eating foods from the list you could eat as much as you liked to feel full.


I didn't like that she prohibited all dairy products.

I don't trust diets that completely cut out certain foods. It might be an old fashioned idea, but I believe a little of what you fancy does you good.


That said, aduki beans rock!

The thing about tomatoes from the supermarket is that they are hard and tasteless. Try organic ones from a farm shop or grow your own and they are totally different; tasty and juicy!

 I tried them too. They take a lot of preparation but are tasty and versatile. But I wish they could be bought in cans ready prepared like red kidney beans (which also rock, by the way)

I agree smurfboy. Diets were a food is totally excluded are not good. And I think those one's tend to fail.



Weight Watchers for example is good, no food is excluded.
