People share their Gillian success stories with us...

Dear Gillian,

Just watched you on Jonathan Ross. Very funny but I was impressed at your dedication to your beliefs and respect that. (was very scepital before .. thought you are a bit too slim to eat the food you recommend ....)

Thank you in advance,
Grainne

Dear Gillian,

I have just watched the Johnathan Ross show where you were a guest (shown,2 march,01.30am). I truly respect what you are doing.

I like to watch you on tv but really dont know how you deal with the 'poo thing' haha. There should be more people like you attatched to the goverment dicision makers for food regulations etc.

You have my respect and thanks. Keep going and pound your word home. If at least one person changes their lives around it will have been worth it.

Warm Regards
Linda

Dear Gillian,

My name is Jason, im 21 years old and live in Essex. I would like to say thank you very much for making me aware of why a healthy lifestyle is important and informing me of what not to eat and what to eat.

I have watched you on TV programs such as You Are What You Eat, and the TV appearances you have, such as the Jonathan Ross show last Friday with great fascination.

I am a bit of a fan of yours, and agree that a lot of what you say makes sense to me and your knowledge and expertise in absolutely fantastic.

You get good results for people on tv (you are what u eat).

regards,
Jason

Dear Gillian,

I am huge fan of your show You Are What You Eat. I truly believe that you could definitely help me and my family. I was wondering have you ever thought about taking your show international?

I know of millions of us in America that could benefit from your tough, no holds barred approach to health and fitness. If you ever come to America I would love for our family to the be your first success story.

A true fan
Sam

Dear Gillian,

I have been watching your show You are what You Eat for a few weeks now. I have to say that I absolutely love it.... And since I have been watching the show, my boyfriend is much more concise about what he is eating, and so am I.

You have been such an inspiration that he has put down the pizza and pasta and we are on our way to much healthier eating.

Thanks
Jai

Dear Gillian,

Hi! I live in central Florida in the US and absoultely love the You Are What You Eat t.v show. I have recently joined Gillians Club and look forward to a more healthy lifestyle. I have been following the Slim For Life book and just love it. I refer back to it daily for ideas and recipes.

Also any chance of having a show made here in the U.S. I think it would be great!!!!!

Richard

Dear Gillian,

By the way I love the show and have been completely inspired by it. I have already gone to great lengths to change my diet. Thank You

Sheila

Dear Gillian,

I just had to say thank you for a wonderful performance at "Jonathan Ross' Friday Night". I had seen parts of your shows and I thought - well, she is a toughy, but your comment on this matter put things into perspective and I can understand so well.

I had a giggle of a lifetime about the reactions caused by your comment. I might not have been very humble at that moment, but sometimes it is nice to feel a wee bit superior to all those celebs who seem to have it all, but can't face their own poo ;)

Thus, a big thank you, and all the best to you

Warm regards,
Rika

Dear Gillian,

I just happened across your program and it really made an impact. I am now picturing my food intake for a week spread out over the dining room table. It makes me ask myself what each meal would contribute. I can picture how much green is on that table versus white fried foods. Very, very helpful.

Thank you,
Camille

Dear Gillian,

I'm an avid fan of your show, You Are What You Eat, and watch it daily. I have also purchased two of your books...You Are What You Eat and also You Are What You Eat Cookbook.

Incidentally, I am really enjoying your plan. I always did eat a lot of vegetables and fruits, but apparently I wasn't doing it properly. I wish you were in the United States so you could show people like me exactly what I'm doing wrong.

Thank you for your help and your inspiration to people like me. I knew about macrobiotics years ago, but never really understood much about it.

Wishing you many heart felt blessings,
Pennie

Dear Gillian,

Thank you so much. I like the site and how in depth it goes into a person's life and diet. And explaining a lot of what the foods on the lists helps. I love how it breaks everything down.

Thank you so much again.
Meghan

Dear Gillian,

I don’t know if this is the right forum (email), but I am soooooooooooo excited!

I’ve been watching ‘You are what you eat’ on BBC America, and even though I was pretty good about my food intake (quality not quantity), no sodas, no fried foods, very rare occasions of red meat, lots of veggies, no fast foods, I have not been feeling at my best. Note: I’m about to turn 50 (yeeeeaaa!) I was 158 lbs overweight, now only 140 (baby steps), I am diabetic and work 1 full-time & 2 part-time jobs as well as taking care of my mom.

I’ve been trying to lose weight for 30 years, but all of a sudden what Gillian says makes sense to me & clicks because it follows my belief system, I just have never had the proper tools. I started the plan on 02/25/08, followed it religiously for 2 days & then followed it with modifications for 2 more days because, due to my schedule, I was not able to prepare the necessary foods (weekend job).

And here it is Friday, February 29, 2008, and I can’t believe the change! I have been sleeping a more restful sleep for the past two nights & this morning I woke up with such a burst of energy as I haven’t felt since before I became diabetic. My blood sugars have gone down 10 pts every day since I started and I am craving water, something which shocked everyone in my family, because I won’t go near the stuff unless it’s in ice tea.

I can’t wait ‘til tomorrow to do some exercise, prepare my food & look forward to how I’ll be feeling in 8 weeks! Thank you so much!!!!

Have a great weekend!
Karin

Dear Gillian,

Thank you so much. I have searched for answers for years. I am definitely signing up, this afternoon. I have learned so much from You are what you eat.

My husband is 63 I am 51 we were both raised on Texas Ranches and grew up with a wide variety of fresh meats, fruits and vegetables. So, eating healthy is no problem for us.

I am looking forward to trying new recipes. It has been frustrating for me because I don't eat anything close to what the people eat on the show consume and can't lose weight. This has given me my first hope in years. As for the gluten I have avoided it for 5 years now.

Occasionally I slip, maybe a couple of times a year and I have notices the psorisis is almost clear and just a simple hamburger will irritate it.

Thanks again for your help.

Have a blessed day,
Billie Jean

Dear Gillian,

I have only been following your book You are What You Eat for 3 weeks and there is already a remarkable improvement in energy , well being, and weight loss ---from 184 pounds to 174 pounds (I am 5' 11 and 59 years old.) I am at the 80 - 20 compliance level, working towards the 90 - 10 level.

It is incredibly easy to follow your regime, I don't feel hungry or have any cravings, and the results are very noticeable.

Thank you.
Robert

Dear Gillian,

I just wanted to tell you I think YOU ARE AWESOME! I thoroughly enjoy your show You Are What You Eat. I watch it on BBC America. I am just now checking out your website and am going out tomorrow to get one of your books.

I wish you would come to my house. I quit drinking diet soda and lost weight, quit drinking coffee because I was using too much half and half (the thought makes me sick now of course) and no high fructose corn syrup. I have 2 small children and shop at the co op.

My husband is even enjoying your show. ( he was horrified the first time he heard you ask for a "poo sample") I just read something about the show being canceled~ please tell me that is a bunch of rubbish, old news or a misprint!? I will read on and sign up for the newsletter.

I just wanted to tell you how much I admire you and enjoy your show!

Take care,
Amberly

Dear Gillian,

HI, my name is Amber, I am from Farmerville,LA. and am 35 years old. I was home sick with strep throat yesterday and ran across your show. I LOVED IT! I had never heard of some of the things you talked about, like; The tongue being smooth means its healthy and all the Poo talk - I just couldn't write fast enough so I missed some of the info :(

I did a search today online to find your website so before I get into searching your site over for information I wanted to email and tell you how much I did enjoy your show, Keep up the good work because of you and your education we fat people may lose a little weight.

I am going tomorrow to be checked for diabetes's, I have thyroid trouble already and high BP I am 5'5 and weight in at 285 any help from you would be great.

Thanks again and God bless you,
Amber

Dear Gillian,

My family faithfully watches "You Are What You Eat". We have learned a lot just by watching how you help unhealthy Britains change their diets and turn their lives around. My mother will no longer allow us to have white bread, my little sister and I are not allowed to buy school lunch, we no longer have sodas except on a rare occasion and that is only for a treat.

We eat fresh fruit, are only allowed to have 100% fruit juice with our lunches and we read labels. We also try to watch for high fructose corn syrup and stay away from that as much as we can.

My typical lunch will consist of a salad, either an orange or strawberries, and either fruit juices, vitamin water, or Propel water. I will sometimes take cheese or make a turkey sandwich. Some of my friends have begun to harass me (but in a friendly way) telling me I will turn into a rabbit before long while others beg me to bring them lunch as well.

We started this healthy way of diet because every member of my family has begun to have health problems. In order not to compound them with poor diet, we've made a radical change.

Sincerely,
Cailey

Dear Gillian,

I am a 19 year old college student in Melbourne, Florida, USA and ever since I first watched You Are What You Eat I've slowly started changing the way that I eat and looking at labels a lot more.

I'm hoping that my family follows. Quite frankly I think that I've watched the show so much that I stop when I'm looking at my mom's shopping list and just sigh and I think that I'm annoying her and my brother every time I tell them "That's not good for you." My Boyfriend even laughs when I tell him that I'm not eating chocolate (as much), because my mother and grand mother love their chocolate and I was picking up that habit.

Now, since I watched the Death By Chocolate episode I rarely, if at all, eat chocolate. I already ate pretty healthy and maintained a stable weight, more weight than I want but my doctors told me that I'm very healthy even though working out hurts due to health issues beyond my control.

I have 3 ruptured disks in my lower back due to a genetic thing, and just changing my diet with the information that I've learned from the show has helped. I just wanted to say that I do love your show and I always watch my recorded episodes before I go to bed at night when my day is done.

Thank you for your time,
Meghan

Dear Gillian,

Your Show is AWSOME!!! I live in Los Angeles, CA and have been interested in nutrition for quite awhile.

You have inspired me to finally get down and start my path to become a nutritionist. I really wish we had a show like yours in the United States. We could really use you here!

Cindy

Dear Gillian,

This is just to say thank you for having such a wonderful online site and the two payment options. This profile is encouraging and educational in how my body needs to be nurtured. I enjoy the show very much and recently ordered your book and have now completed the Personal Health Profile.

I have had a difficult time finding a diet that used many things I'd love to eat more of if I just knew how to incorporate these more often in our menu. I always appreciate the fact that so much of the food is raw or vegetables, grain and fruits.

I find so many diets find the main source of protein and ingredients from meat which I don't enjoy. I am a fan of fish and hope to learn more about cooking it. Your show and book both inspire me and I am thrilled to have found this portal to good health and fun with real foods.

Keep up the good work and I am pleased you are one more person who can help change the worlds attitude to food.

Jem

Dear Gillian,

HAIL, Gillian McKeith!! I have a massive thank-you to say to you. I have been following your 28 day 'bum diet' that was featured in the Daily Mail last month. It is day 27 for me and I have lost 1 1/2" from my hips and my thighs are noticeably slimmer too. Friends think I have dropped at least a dress size and indeed, I have been able to put on a pair of jeans that have been in the back of my wardrobe for 'a few years'.

I have not found the diet completely easy as I love sweets. I have always had a healthy diet for the majority of the week BUT I also love to eat some unhealthy food too. Having said that, I have stuck to your regime. For me, one of the best things is that I have NEVER been hungry on this diet. In fact, there are times when I have said 'OH NO. I HAVE TO HAVE A SNACK SOON' For someone with a healthy appetite, it has been a huge boost not feeling as if I'm starved.

(I intended not to waffle and I feel that I am now but there is one more thing I'd like to add before I get onto my questions) I didn't start this diet being huge. I was a size 12, was in proportion and I didn't have huge hips either. I also love exercise and in particular, aerobics. I have tried so many diets and done lots of exercise, all TO NO AVAIL.

Most diets seem to work for very large people (if they put the effort in) simply as there is SOOO much weight for them to lose. They see results fairly quickly. This is the first time I have found something that works for 'more normal' sized people (results were noticeable within days) and I am telling everyone about it.

THANKS AGAIN.
Jessica

Dear Gillian,

Sorry to be emailing you. I have bought the US version you are what you eat and Slim for Life. I watch the program (YAWYE) on the BBC America channel here in the US.(Louisiana to be exact) I'm a huge fan and watch the show quite religiously.

At the moment I am making much more healthy food choices (recommendations from book) and I rebound (mini trampoline) every day 30 mins twice a day or sometimes 1 hr first thing in the morning.

Sincerely,
Marni

Dear Gillian,

I am new to foxtel here in Australia, and have absolutley loved your show so much, that I had to find you on the web.

I live with a person who eats unhealthy & your show has made him stop eating a few foods instantly. Congratulations. I have only been trying for about 8 years *smiles*

Kindly,
Dianne

Dear Gillian,

Good evening,

By the way, LOVE LOVE LOVE your show.

With many thanks,
Marcelle

Dear Gillian,

Please no matter what keep up the excellent work and I hope your show continues for years to come. I find the show if nothing else very helpful.

Sincerely,
Sam

Dear Gillian,

My name is Piotr. I am 33 years old. I live in a little village in Poland, together with my wife Kate and two sons Albert and Adrian. We are happy and we lead quiet live. I have been your fan.

I really admire you and I think you are very good in that what you do. I was wandering if you could. Send me your autograph. I would be grateful.

Thank you in advance.

Your sincerely,
Piotr

Dear Gillian,

Please come to the US! With 1 in 3 adolescents overweight or obese (and God knows how many adults!) & Coke as pratically our national drink, we need you! and, while many people are watching your show on bbc america, you are missing millions of people who need you.

thanks for your time and keep up the good fight.

with love,

Tracie,
Tennessee

Dear Gillian,

You are my Hero!! I see what you do for others and I am quite an admirer of your methodology, thinking and approach.

Yours truly,
Maryann

Dear Gillian,

I've become a loyal viewer of your excellent show. Moreover, your show has helped me encourage my partner to make a major lifestyle change! My begging and pleading was useless until he began watching your show, and now he is far more receptive to eating healthier and exercising with me.

I can not tell you how difficult it was for me attempting to make healthful changes while my partner continued to eat, and tempt me, with bad foods. This has all changed. He now records your show during the day so that we can watch it together when we get home from work.

Mrs. McKeith, as you probably know the USA has a serious issue regarding obesity and it is only getting worse. I firmly believe that you would be able to make a difference, as you have with so many people in the UK.

What this country needs is a swift kick in our FAT pants and your expertise is just what we need! So please do consider brining your show to the USA, or partnering with a network to replicate your show.

Keep up the great work, and THANK YOU!

Respectfully,
Desiree

Dear Gillian,

Firstly can I say what a huge fan I am of your work. Your television show and books have taught me a great deal about what I put into my body.

Before I first watched your show I used to have a terrible diet, and I am very grateful for the things I have learnt from you.

Best regards,
Zoe

Dear Gillian,

I feel so great on this new regimen! I've recommended it to nearly everyone on my email list here in the States. I hope to generate more business for you. This is too good to keep to myself!

Thank you again,
Sharon

Dear Gillian,

I watch BBCA on Direct TV (satellite) all the time. The Britt's are more creative then Americans for entertainment.

Recently, I have fall in love with you show, "You are what you eat". And I need help. Can you come to America and I can be on your show?

Thanks,
Dan

Dear Gillian,

I bought your recipe book and "You Are What You Eat" about a month ago. I'd lost 30 lbs on my own, and wanted to take control of my health more. I don't have high blood pressure, and my cholesterol is "rock star" as my doctor says, but I knew I wasn't healthy enough. I'd been looking for a book to tell me WHY I should be eating foods, what does what for me, for a long, long time.

Unfortunately everything out there seems to be saying ridiculous things (no calories! no carbs! no fat! don't eat fruit it's high in sugar!) and I didn't want to go blindly down the dangerous road of not eating some things which I knew perfectly well were good for me, just because some random person told me not to. I've always wanted to know how to eat NUTRITIONALLY, not low-fat, etc.

I started my "new nutritional life" about a month ago, and while I don't eat 100% the way the book says, I do do it about 80-90% of the time, and I feel FANTASTIC! I took out my scale for the first time in a few weeks (after reading that weight really shouldn't be a focus on my getting healthier, which I totally agree with) and found that I'd lost 5 lbs in January...

So, I guess what I really wanted to say is I think this whole way of life makes a lot of sense, and I'm even encouraging others in my office to get healthy too. One of my co-workers now has the two books I have and she's noticed a difference. I've started a walking club at work, and we've walked almost 40kms so far. Personally, I've walked almost 300kms in the past 1.5 months.

I'm on my way to a new me, and I owe a lot of it to Gillian! I'm a Gillian Girl!

Amanda

Dear Gillian,

You are a godsend! Who wouldn't want to eat the best foods for best health? I have always loved the foods suggested on your "diet". I have enjoyed several of your recipes especially the chickpea burgers.

I noticed an immediate change in my health, energy and yes can we say pooh! I understand this is a dramatic change for so many people (including myself) but beans, nuts and seeds really are the way to go! My partner has a hard time because they love the choc-ies.

I wish you continued success!

Respectfully yours in health and happiness,
Joan

Dear Gillian,

I would like to thank you for being so inspiring. I have a 3 month old son and live with a father who is diabetic and has high blood pressure among other ailments. Before your show came into our living room it was mainly meals out of a box and whatever was quick and easy. As you can imagine that meant almost nothing fresh or fruits or veggies. It also meant I didnt bother trying anything new for fear of disliking it.

I ended up not being able to work due to pregnancy complications and that is when I found your show. I realized that I never thought about what i ate or how it affected me or my family. Since having my son I have truelly opened my eyes ate how I was taking care of myself and how my father was taking care of himself as well.

I did an online BMI test and it showed that I was headed dangerously toward morbid obesity and that my father was already there. Well whether my father liked it or not one day when we went grocery shopping I spent over half an hour in the produce department picking things out! (granted I didnt know what half of it was let alone how to cook it) I have been trying and succedding at eating much healthier. though I still struggle with the sweets I found today that when I had a bite of chocolate after going several weeks without, that it actually tasted burnt to me! I am trying to follow your principles but havent been able to follow all of them because I havent read your book yet. For the past several days I have had a smoothie first thing every day and for about two weeks now have gotten rid of most all red meats and prepackaged meals from my diet and already notice a difference. I now shop at a local whole foods market and am truelly enjoying it. My son seems to have much more spark too as I am breastfeeding.

I cannot wait for your cookbook to reach the U.S. so that I can try your recipes out. My father is even interested in your cookbook just from watching you on t.v. I do worry though because even as a diabetic he still buys and eats LOTS of sweets and coffee. You have inspired me to be healthier and are actually starting to have a positive affect on my dad now too. (he will watch your show with out complaint and on his own will now)

I just wanted to say thank you so much for being you and being so wonderful. If it wasnt for you I would not have ever known what I was actually eating. I have more energy, am not as tired(when my son lets me sleep at night), my skin looks better, and I feel much better now. I have even discovered new foods that I like now that I never knew about before. I eagerly anticipate the U.S. arrival of your wonderfull cookbook. I owe you more then you will ever know.

With greatest respect and admiration,
Marie, United States

Dear Gillian,

My husband is eating more veggies than he has in his entire life, and loving it. My husband feels fabulous, as do I.

Thanks again,
Mary Jo

Dear Gillian,

I am in the USA & I am somewhat following your " You are what You eat" concept.

So far I have lost 10 lbs. I want other people in the USA to see your show. For their health.

P.s. I already promote your book to everyone I see. When I go shopping. Which is every week.

Thanks,
Dalana

Dear Gillian,

I watch you every morning when possible on BBC America. I am a retired intensive care nurse and have learned so much more about nutrition by watching your show!

I have been troubled by "stomach/digestive problems" for some time and the dr. could never find a reason for the distress after conventional testing.

I bought your book and read the instructions about "not drinking fluids with meals" and have suffered much less problems since doing so.

Thanks for all your insight and information.

Jeanette

Dear Gillian,

I must confess, I just love your show at BBC America! I have a great time, a very funny time watching you!

I love your method and yes, I think some people do need that "wake up call". I've been eating so, so much better after I got addicted to your show!

Anyway, I just want to say thankyou!

Hugs,
Vini

Dear Gillian,

I just wanted to tell you what a big fan my husband and I are. 

We love your show, which airs 4-5pm here in the United States. We eat dinner watching your show. My brother who is a health fanatic, was home recuperating from minor shoulder surgery, when he tuned into You are what you eat. Well he's been hooked on the show ever since. He called me to tell me about this show which airs on a British News station called You are what you eat, and that I had to tune in. 

I did and I've been hooked on the show myself.  I think you're quite a character. My husband who happens to be in great physical shape, loves his sweets, gravies, sauces, diet cola, he just happens to be one of the few people who eats whatever and doesn't gain any weight. 

I'm not as fortunate, I've been stuggling with weight my whole life.  Not obese, 15-20lbs we're both lucky to have physical jobs, we're both letter carriers, 20 years for myself, 30 for my husband. 

We've revamped our whole diet. Tons of green veggies, kale, swiss chard, bok choy, rabe, broccolli, brussell sprouts, cabbage. We're eating more fruit, we would have apples and oranges.  Now, mango's papaya, kiwi, avacado's. Lot's of grains and much more fish. 

When we see the great foods lying on the display table that you always present, we started buying all of those kinds of food.  We've eliminated diet soda and any artificial sweetners from our diet.  We cannot believe the difference in how we both feel. I've lost 8lbs in 3 three weeks.

 I have more energy, after work, and that's after walking for 6 hours. We're snacking on raw peppers, fennel, carrots, celery, and loving it. I'm making veggie drinks, and smoothies.  I hope we never go back to eating the rubbish we ate in the past.

I feel ALIVE!!! Thanks Gillian.

Mary Jo

Dear Gillian,

I have recently purchased your book and from the 1st January have been introducing new foods everyday - I feel fantastic and have lost 8lbs!!

I'm eating more and have much more energy. Most of all my asthma and sinuses is completely cleared!! For my sweet tooth I'm eating the health bars with yogurt in them from the health shop are they OK in moderation?? and Juicing I'm even loving carrot juice in the mornings.

Most of my meals have no added sauces at all eg oily fish (tuna) and beans with qunua I have not idea how to make a nice sauce used to dress and make my food spicier - i don't want to buy my usual jars of sauces which are full of sugar.

I'm worried that all my natural eating as close to it natural organic state will only last for another few months - how or where do I learn to use all these health ingredients and make homemade natural sauces??

At the moment my diet has completely changed and my partner will not eat any of my foods but he has seen a remarkable difference in my, and I thank you for making me realise there are amazing foods out there that we don't even know about!!

thank you,
Sharon

Dear Gillian,

I just wanted to tell you that I LOVE your show it is the best. I get so excited when it comes on. I love eating healthy and I know how it feels to want to change others to eat healthy, because we really are what we eat.

I am finishing school at University of Delaware and I am going to central Arizona for online classes to be a dietetic technician. Then I am going to get a certification in personal training and nutrition.

Thank you so much for showing the world how great you are.

Thank you,
Katie

Dear Gillian,

You are the best nutritionist ever. After I followed your advice in You Are What You Eat, my health, skin, sex life and mood improved drastically.

So I just wanted you to know that you are great! Keep it up.

Thank you,
Leyla

Dear Gillian,

My wife and I have kind of let our selves go. I now weigh 230 lbs. I suffer from migraines high blood pressure and now there may be something wrong with my liver. I have two kids that count on there dad to keep the family afloat.

I do believe your show has changed me for ever. We can honestly see that you really care about the people you are helping. I need your help. just wondering if you have ever thought of doing a show in the united states. More people need to see this show.

You can help a nation in crisis.

I thank you for your caring soul.

Regards,
Jason D. Temple

Hi Dawn,

Please would you let Gillian know that I have now safely received the 2nd prize of signed books

Thanks you so much for delivering them to me. At first, I'd forgotten they would be signed by Gillian - and as I started to look at them saw her handwriting on each of the first pages. As I thumbed through the books, I felt so honoured to have them and strangely enough felt that she'd written each book just for me.

As a Health & Wellness Educator myself, I'd like Gillian to know that I think she's doing the greatest job of spreading this most important nutrition information around the country. Her programmes are most empowering and can only do the good for those who watch - and even more good for those who DO!

Keep up the good work Gillian and her team.

Love and Good Health,

Tilly

Dear Gillian,

I LOVE your show!

And you make me laugh.

There is significant value in your broadcast. I can sit passively and absorb very useful information and actually enjoy -- what really is -- a learning experience.

You've figured out away to communicate this information in a fun, effective manner.

If I had a different life, I'd get my Masters in Holistic Nutrition. Maybe someday.

I will be tuning in regularly.

Laverne, USA

Dear Gillian,

I am an American viewer that want's to say Thank You!!!

I feel that your show could really change the world if more people were aware of the show. I have an over weight mother and for years she has gone up and down in weight.

I feel that Gillian's approach is so appropriate and really bare bones honest. Honesty from a place of true love never is negative, and I feel she truly wants to help.

So thank you. Oh, and by the way, I have never in my 35 years of life ever felt so compelled to say thank you, (via email) but Gillian we Americans could really use your help so I will spread the word, but I hope you take off in BBC America.

Good Luck and thank you.

Kind Regards,

Michelle

Dear Gillian,

I just wanted to say a huge Thank You to you.

I have been following your advice through your books and TV programes and website for the past 2 years and have managed to lose over 6 stone in weight, gone from a size 24 to a size 10 and feel like a different person.

I am proof positive that your methods work for weight loss and maintainng that loss.

So thank you for the Love & Light and inspiration you sent into my life.

Best Wishes,

Miriam

Dear Gillian,

I just wanted to let you know that your show has inspired me to change my life. I am a 36 year old woman, and I weigh about 200 pounds.

I have been watching "You Are What You Eat" on BBC America, and I finally decided that I wanted to be healthier, more fit, and slim.

I purchased your book "Slim for Life" and began the program a few days ago. I do not miss the bad foods yet, only my morning coffee.

Wish me luck!

Rebekka
Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Dear Gillian,

I’m from the USA and love your show, I never miss it! What an inspiration you are!

I’ve been “meat free” (only eat white fish and salmon on occasion) and am enjoying vegetarian meals, I really love Tofu. Is Tofu healthy to eat on a daily basis?

I’m going to pick up your cookbook as I need help on ideas. I’d love to know how you make those smoothies with the Avocado in it? I love ricemilk too in hot cereals/oatmeal!

Thanks as always for your kindness and advice! Warmest regards,

Niki,
Florida, U.S.A.
