"We would like to thank you for your wonderful show. We dvr all the episodes and watch them all at one time. You have so encouraged us to ear for our bodies, not for our minds. What I mean is that by incorporating your eating healthy plan, our lives have changed.
My husband has been eating healthy and working out to gain strength for the last 2 years, sadly I didn't start until about 4 months ago. I have strugled with weight my whole life, but adding your health plan has helped me so much. I use to think that getting in the car and driving to get fast food was easier than cooking for myself, my husband works nights, and I no longer work, and boy was I wrong.
Now I LOVE cooking with fresh vegetables and beans and all the yummy stuff I always thought was terrible tasting. My husband has lost 90 pounds in 1.5 years, and I have lost 13 pounds. We now shop together, because I still have the temptation to buy "junk", I am getting better though. I also opted for a Jack Lalanne Juicer and a mini trampoline for Christmas instead of jewelry.
Thank you again from the bottom of our "healthier" hearts. You have helped change our lives."

"We would like to thank you for the book you have written "You are what you eat". It is really illuminating. We really appreciate it. We like it very much, even some of the plants or seeds don't exist here in Albania and it's really difficult to find them. Thank you for your work. My mother keeps reading it all the time and now that she has applied some of your advice she feels better."

"Just to let you know that across the pond you have a student of your healthful turnarounds. After watching your shows (You Are What You Eat) on BBC America, I too turned around my life.
For that, I thank you. I am a young man of 65 who still teaches kindergarten students. I have diabetes which was a direct result of Agent Orange obtained while in Vietnam.
Since eating healthy eliminating all sugars, corn syrups, processed foods,
potatoes, white bread, and breads period from my intake, my daily diabetic readings are spot on.
My VA (Veteran's Admin.) Dr. has told me that whatever I am doing, to keep it up. I thank you for what you do and wanted to let you know that 'across the pond' you have turned around another of the many lives you have saved. Thank You! "

"From the bottom of my heart first: Thank you for all information and inspiration. You have the kind ideology about food and health I always believed in, (but wasn’t always capable to follow). You have integrated all that matter in Your fantastic concept. I have seen most of your shows. This was one of my biggest helpers. I have lost 35 kilo, my boyfriend over 40 and my heart, cholesterol are excellent. They wasn’t before and I was on risk to get diabetes 2, this is also now on very good level. There’s a lot more to do.
When I Started in March 2009 with mu new wonderful lifestyle I had 172 kilo, now I am "only" 137, my goal is to be somewhere round 80-95, it depends on the wrinkles and the skin. I am 171,5 cm and am 50 years old. Very often I hear that people believe that I am 30-40 year. It is important to me to look young for many reason one among those is that my so beloved partner since 13 wonderful year is 35.
Anyway many people are amazed over our weight loss and ask what we have done and ask for advice. So the best gift I can give those Friend I love and to thanks the one around me who's supported me is to give them Health - that is the finest we have on earth isn't it? Love Your mission Gillian - Keep up the good work."

"I would like to thank you for the wonderful work you are doing, much appreciated. My wife, Shannon is a huge fan of yours and I also became a Bigger fan, simply for the change you have brought in OUR
lives, by eating healthy and look after your body.
I watched your show on Oprah and was quit intrigued by the interview she had with you, 2005. I suggested to Shannon to find out more about your books and so she did. She bought 3 of your books and simply loved it. She followed every single step in the book. In less than 8 months she weighed approx 78kgs. I really admire her for that and always wanted to thank you for being such an inspiration.
When she returned to South Africa she looked amazing! Everybody complimented her for looking so great and she "promoted" your books by mouth. Many thanks and warm regards from sunny Cape Town!"

"I have learned of your website via BBC America. I am glad to know of it and I have signed up for your e-newsletter. We recognize that nutrition plays a key role in disease prevention, human health and wellness especially as it relates to oxidative stress at the cellular level. As you know, oxidative stress and inflammation have been implicated in the pathogenicity of several disease processes. Therefore, I shall look forward to reading announcements in your newsletter and on your website, which I will check regularly.
As a fan of "You are What You Eat" I have regretted not being able to capture in writing some of the recipes featured in the shows (there was mention of soups such as one made from celery and another one from fresh peas). I had not known of your books but I am glad to know that I can order them online through your website. As a vegan, it is difficult to find good recipes so I am looking forward to expanding my cooking repertoire with your books!
With much admiration, deepest respect and every best wish for the success of your website and all of your many initiatives, I remain."

"I have been feeling much better since going with the plan, eating organic and giving up sugars, etc. I feel I'm really on my way back to feeling good, and that is more important to me than weight at this point. My cravings for unhealthy things are getting fewer and farther between, too...and I seem to crave the things my body really needs, like papaya when my tummy is upset or some nettle tea in between meals. This really works!!
Physical activity is getting easier, too as I feel my strength improving. My overall health score was very low (37) but I know in a month that will all change."
