Dear Gillian,

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!

Ronny - Cape Town, South Africa

Dear Gillian,

First off, love, love, love the show!

Love the recipes you have on your show.

Gillian, you really have inspired me, I have all kinds of knowledge but the way you address just makes much more sense. Thank you kindly,

Janice - Vancouver, WA

Dear Gillian,

I watch your show all the time and get great tips on what foods do in my body, making sure to pass the info. onto my kids.

Your devoted fan and student,

Susan

Dear Gillian,

My name is Samira and am a Canadian Dietitian. I have been watching your shows and reading your newsletters. I really believe what you are doing is great and it is so wonderful to see the smiles on the faces of those you help.

Sincerely,

Samira

Dear Gillian,

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,

Sincerely yours,

Dear Gillian,

I live in the USA and love your show. I look forward to watching it every single week. You do an excellent job on showing us how to eat and I love to see the results.

Thanks,

Dorothea

Dear Gillian,

I watch you every day on BBCAmerica. First, I've lost 32 lbs during your 8 week detox as instructed in your book. Now I'm ready to branch out with my food selections. Secondly, I'd like to say many thanks to you and your plan. My life is changed forever.

Once again, THANKS!!, keep up the tremendous work and best of wishes to you!

Sincerely,

Chaplin - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

Dear Gillian,

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.

Again, thanks!!

Palooza - Gillian McKeith Club Member

Dear Gillian,

I follow you because you are a no nonesense person. You are tops in your field. I just started watching your series, You Are What You Eat and I love it. I like your style.

Sincerely,

Adwoa - New York

Dear Gillian,

I am an American, and my friends and I love Gillian! I started doing the "slim for life" plan about 2 weeks ago and have seen lifesaving changes to my life, and have started a wave of people interested in following with me.

She is helping us shed pounds, rid ourselves of disease, and cure chronic health problems.

Thanks

Rachel

Dear Gillian,

I have been over weight for the last 19 years of my life. I am so grateful to you that you have committed your life to teaching others how to eat. Not having parents to lead me by example, I have looked to others to fill this void. In some ways you have filled this void for me, so for that, I thank you.

Sincerely yours,

Marna

Dear Gillian,

I discovered your shows on BBC America, and began watching them for sheer entertainment. I am slowly changing over. Refined white sugar, most milk products, and wheat, are gone. I am post menapausal and have a brutal teaching schedule. I think it is working: my energy levels and sense of well-being are definitely better, and I feel ready for the new school year!

....also, I am passing a lot of the nutritional information on to my my students, who are primarily Latino, 11th and 12th grade English classes, in a low income area, with low achievement rates at school: I am really emphasizing breakfast and healthy food for academic improvement!!!!

So - thank you Gillian! Ultimately, I hope to be able to report a forty-to-fifty pound weight loss!

Sincerely,

Nadine - Irvine, California

Dear Gillian,

I do really love your recipes and lifestyle. I've read 2 of your books in polish.

For me you're the best specialist in this field. I do always recommend you to my friends who are looking for new lifestyle...

Kasia - Warszawa, Poland

Dear Gillian,

I watch your show whenever I can. I must say it has been the most informative, interesting and also the most encouraging series I have seen . I also recently purchased your book 'You Are What You Eat' and I love it. The UK is very lucky to have you! Hopefully, you will come to Canada and give some encouragement in person.

Norisha - Toronto, Canada

Dear Gillian,

First I would like to Thank Gillian for televisizing her show on the BBC network it has made BIG changes for me ! I started to watch your show back in the fall of 2008, and invested in a juicer... Here we are in 2009 and although I do not follow exactly (because I am limited in funds and physical injuries), I have lost over 40 pounds.

I know that my poor eating habits have aided in getting me to where I am today... And Gillian, I Thank God everyday that you use the "SHOCK" method to show people what they are doing wrong.. and then give them help!

Darlene - Woonsocket, Rhode Island, USA

Dear Gillian,

Thank you for all the work that you do to educate the public about health and nutrition. I caught 2 episodes of You Are What You Eat while visiting a friend. I keep talking to people I know about how wonderful it is and how I'd love to watch an entire season for all the information and inspiration.

Please work on getting the episodes into DVD circulation.

Gratefully,

Becky - Minnesota

Dear Gillian,

I just wanted to email you to let you know what an inspiration you are.

I am on weightwatchers but I find your programmes an inspiration.

I just wanted to let you know what an inspiration you are and how I am looking forward to getting a personalised plan to enable me to lose weight, because god do I want to and god do I need to.

Thank you so much

Sue - Tonbridge, Kent

Dear Gillian,

First off, I would like to take this opportunity to let you know how
much I enjoy your show You are What you Eat on the BBC America channel.
I have it TEVO'd so I don't miss an episode.

Respectfully submitted,

Dear Gillian,

My wife and I read your health guide on "Miracle Superfood - Wild-Green Algae" and it has helped us enormously. We have been taking the algae for a number of years and it has improved our life.

Bob and Rosa

Dear Gillian,

I have just seen your wonderful show and wow, my congratulations of a ‘perfect’ show. If you are ever thinking to coming to Zurich Switzerland to tape a show, my family and I would be the perfect subjects. WE NEED HELP…………. Even though I try so desperately to cook healthy, it can be a bit hard trying to get my husband and two healthy boys to eat my meals.

Thanks again and with very kind regards,

Gabriella - Zurich, Switzerland

Dear Gillian,

I am a mother of two and I have been implementing your advises in my family and with my father who has cancer and we are very happy with the outcoming of it. I been reading your books (in spanish) and recently bought your recipe book.

Thanks,
Yury - Nicaragua

Dear Gillian,

I have been watching re-runs of your program on our cable network here. I LOVE YOUR PROGRAM. Anytime I watch your program I wish you were in Nigeria, because Nigerians have MEGA weight issues due to our high carbohydrate and high fat diet. I got the YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT BOOK and I have read quite a bit. I have read some really shocking things that concerns me. It made me feel like I was a mobile corpse.

My boys know that I will leave anything I am doing to watch your program. For some reason this season, I haven’t seen your program and I have gotten a little depressed by this.

Regards,
Evelyn - Lagos , Nigeria

Dear Gillian,

I have been watching your show here in the US for about 5 weeks now and look forward to every episode. It took about 2 weeks to start to realize that I would soon become a statistic much like the participants on your show.

My weight high, energy levels very low. I started following your common sense advice and living healthier has never been easier. I am slimming down and my energy levels are increasing every day.

I have incorporated 30 minutes of exercise into my day and I feel great. It really is a simple process and you are able to break it down to it's simplest forms. I understand simple and this works. I don't mean to ramble on but I am very thankful that I found your program. You inspire me.

Very sincerely yours,
Kate - Illinois, USA

Dear Gillian,

I just found out about your show on sky tv in which heavy and skinny people swap their lifwe styles to improve their health. I think you are awsome.

Cheers,
Federica - Italy

Dear Gillian,

I had brought Dr. McKeith book a couple of weeks ago and I am now become a believer in that we are what we eat. I reviewed the book for ebay for future buyers and thought I would send a copy of the review to Dr. McKeith.

Thanks for helping us become healthier and a good reminder what a blessing the good earth provides to us if we just don't succumb to marketing and pressure to purchase large amounts of coffee, pre-package foods, and chocolates and assorted sweets all in the name of that we are to busy to make our own food.

Thank you,
Andrew

Dear Gillian,

Where do I start? I have been on a journey for a while with food and working out. I knew there was something wrong when I could no longer work out to get the weight off. I hired a trainer and she was having a hard time helping me.

I had been watching you on TV for a while more for entertainment reasons than anything else and one day I went and bought your book you are what you eat. Talk about being in denial about what I was eating! I just don't think people realize what they are doing when it comes to food. I had horrible headaches around my period and even though I read the book could not figure out why I was still having them.

I decided to go online and see if you had a website and there it was. I joined the boot camp and bought everything you said to and thats when my eating habits really changed. I also started to take the suppliments she suggested and within a few months I had no headaches.

Really I don't get the pain at my period anymore (I still gain weight) but my workouts are better when I go to the gym I can stay a while compared to leaving after an hour.

Kimberly - Tampa, Florida

Dear Gillian,

Thank you for all your work on TV and on the internet I have been following your eating plan and recently had blood tests and for the first time in 20 or so years - I have normal cholesterol, both kinds, normal tryglycerides etc etc etc

Thank you,
Jean

Dear Gillian,

A work colleague gave me your book to read a few months ago, I liked it so much I bought myself a copy and have enjoyed it so much. I am 174cm in height and a little over 12 months ago I was 97 kg and was on my own floundering around a diet based on a blood group, [ I don’t have food allergies] eating only certain foods suitable to A + blood group. It was so uninteresting, but when my friend showed me the book it reminded me of similar one.

Your book does and gives me the reason I need to eat healthily. I am now 73 kilos and have a BMI of around 23 I am exercising regularly with running bikes rides and gym. A complete life change. So thank you once again and also for the recipes on the web site @ ch 4. I am currently looking for your recipe book which I will make good use of.

I am in catering for bulk applications for a government service here in Melbourne, unfortunately I am not in a position to make those changes necessary to put into action your life giving plan but when people who know me see I have lost weight I attribute it to the book. Thanks once again

Kind regards,
Graham - Australia

Dear Gillian,

Last year I was getting married on the 18th October 2008, and I followed your healthy eating plan for 5months, any inquires i needed you were there to support me. I have been fit/sporty most of my life doing maracycles and have been a member of a gym my whole life. I had a figure of 10/12 and height of 5foot 3inches.

Then my wedding dress arrived in a size 8! a mistake made by the shop 6 weeks before the big day, however with following your diet and having a personal trainer I acheived my goal!! I had the best figure, body shape mind and spirit iv ever had in my whole life, I felt strong and supper fit high on life - I never allowed any processed food to cross mylips.

Regards,
Sharon

I love your book! I had no idea you had a TV show when I bought it, and then, yesterday, I was flipping channels on the television and saw your show on the BBC. Loved it! Thank you for all you do.

Peace and Light,

Dear Gillian,

I follow your recipies so much that I think I might have to buy another cook book. I have literally worn my first one out.

Love the show. We have them "re-running" here in Canada and I'm glued to the tele everyday. Been a HUGE fan for years. I love you and your way of telling people EXACTLY what they need to hear. you're wonderful.

Thank you so much.

Taru - Finland

Dear Gillian,

I recently started watching You Are What You Eat. I watched it on bbc america. I loved the show. My husband and I just went on a diet based on what you had your people on the show eat. We have been on the plan for two weeks now and are doing well. I used the show to encourage us on. I really think your plan is what I need to lose weight.

We both had the gastric by pass surgery. My husband did well but has gained 90 lbs back. I never did all that well with it. I hope you bring the show to the united states.

Peggy

Dear Gillian,

I'm a 30-year-old Agnes from Poland. Recently, I've come across your book "You are what you eat" , which seems to be a blessing for me now as I started to realise my health problems. to maintan the "perfect" condition of my organism I have to do something more, which is a proper nutrition. I've read your book several times, already , and I think it's great.

Agnieszka - Zabrze, Poland

Dear Gillian,

My Name is Brenda. I am a 49 year old wife and mother. Almost four years ago I had gastric bypass surgery. The reason I am telling you this is that I love your show. Any way I do want to thank you for the encouragement you provide. Even though I am not doing as well as I could, you have helped me stay in touch with what's going on with my body.

Thanks

Brenda - North Dakota USA

Dear Gillian,

I love "You are what you eat", watch it whenever I can here in Los Alamos, NM USA. Have recently purchased 2 of your books, Slim for Life, and You are what you eat (USA version). I get all kinds of tips from your show and am really inspired to get healthier by eating better and exercising more!

Mia and Robert in New Mexico, USA

Dear Gillian,

I love your series on BBC America. It may be the best series I've ever watched, because it is so informative (you present the issues so they are easy to grasp - i.e., the "whys" & the "wherefores", etc...) & so useful! I'm trying to apply what you've taught, but I've got a ways to go. Thanks, Gillian!

Kind Regards,

Charlie - Harbor Springs, Michigan USA

Dear Gillian,

I'd like to tell you how much my partner & I enjoy your show, and how it has inspired us to live healthier lifestyles.

Yours Sincerely

Glenn & Karen

Dear Gillian,

For years I have struggled with weight problems, fatigue, digestive and intestinal problems. My primary care physician diagnosed my issues differently over the years but the treatment for the diagnoses she gave never really made things better for me.

Then one day a girlfriend at work told me about you and your show on BBC. I watched the show a few times and then went to the website and signed up. I completed the questionnaire. I thought it was too long and almost didn’t finish but I am so glad I did. The very first item that came up for me digestion issues and the suggestion was that I might a food allergy. I always knew milk products caused me issues and that was on my profile to avoid. Since I knew that to be true I felt I should try avoiding the food types she suggested.

Within a few days, my life was changed!!! I could eat a meal and not have tummy troubles. I had energy again, I didn’t feel as achy and I had a positive attitude. I now know that gluten (wheat, barley and rye based products) make me sick. This was a difficult learning process because so many items contain gluten (wheat, barley and rye) or have ingredients that are derived from them and in the beginning I would occasionally get frustrated with reading the labels and does it or does it not have gluten so I would eat things anyway and be back to the old sick self.

It has been 7 months since I have really been eating gluten free and not only feel like a new person but I AM a new person. I have lost about 30 pounds since I did the questionnaire and still losing, I feel better, I exercise regularly now and my belly is flat instead of bloated. My sick time at work has reduced by 50% so even my supervisor is ecstatic!

Thank you!!!

Sylvia

Dear Gillian,

Love you show! Tape it off satellite and watch it everyday! Great ideas. I got your book and it is amazing. I lot to digest, pardon the pun, but I am starting small. I will be researching and trying all your recipes ..Keep it up......

Kathleen

Dear Gillian,

I love your show “You Are What You Eat”!! I have watched all the episodes numerous times on BBC America. Will you be doing more shows? It is the best nutrition show on the airways. If BBC didn’t pick it up, why not contact TLC or another Discovery Health channel?

Also, we have FIT TV and other networks that air it. I have told so many people about the show and now they are addicted to it…but we need more shows…thanks…

Gail - Sturgeon Bay, WI USA

Dear Gillian,

First of all I am incredibly grateful for your dedication to healing. Thank you! To find you, your show, site and recipes with all your guidance as to how and why is a gift. There are no excuses now and lots of understanding.

Again, thank you and many blessing to you and yours,

Christine - California

Dear Gillian,

I watched your programme on BBC American and immediately fell in love with your take-no-prisoners, tough love approach. No compromises. That is what works.

I got a copy of "You Are What You Eat" and am re-reading it now. I am very excited that your program will work for me and my husband. Thanks for all your VERY FINE work and encouragement!

Ceal - Maineville

Dear Gillian,

After seeing the episode with the woman who loved the hot dogs, I can assure you, I'll never eat a hot dog again! Love your show! Very motivational!

Ross - Las Vegas, NV

Dear Gillian,

Thankyou for your health profile, it was 'life changing'.

I have been following all your suggestion's for a little more than a week and for now I can say that I no loger have crashes at 3pm nor mood swings or food cravings for cheese (bread is still a battle). So thank you.

Faithfully believing in your nutritiuonal approach.

Simona

Dear Gillian,

My wife and I very much enjoy the show, as does our daughter. We've been eating healthy for a long time now, and your show has given us a lot of new ideas to add to our diet (and by diet I mean dietary lifestyle).

I'm pretty sure that the episode where you showed the pig snouts that go into hot dogs has cured my daugter of ever wanting another hot dog for the rest of her life! So much that you say it is just common sense, and I'm glad to see somebody trying to spread that word. Thanks for listening, and keep up the great work.

Sincerely,

Carl - Palm Harbor, Florida

Dear Gillian,

I discovered your show on BBC while recovering from surgery. How I wish you would come to the US and fire us up with a life saving visit! Thank you for inspiring me to think about how I am eating.

Changes have come into my life as a result of your show, more veggies and fruits and less sugar and fat.

Thank you again!

Milan

Dear Gillian,

I have just started following Gillian's wedding countdown diet. I am getting married in May 2010, so I thought I'd get a good head start!

So far I absolutley love the diet, I'm amazed at 2 things, firstly how full I feel all the time and secondly how good the food makes me feel!

Rachel

Dear Gillian,

I paid for an evaluation from you and I just wanted to say Thank you so much.

I started watching your show on BBCAm a few weeks ago and I can’t get enough. Everything you do on your shows makes such sense. You need to come to the United States and help us.

I will be revisiting you site, but I just have to send you a note to say thank you for opening up my eyes and please, keep on doing what you are doing.

Sherry

Dear Gillian,

I have been watching your program for several years now on BBC in America. I love ya girl!

I signed up a few weeks ago, took a week to get my mind in gear, and took care of the special shopping, and now I am on my way to a healthier life. Thanks to your tremendous wealth of knowledge and experience.

I am enjoying the program and, as I knew from watching the program, the greatest challenge is planning snacks and meals ahead of time. Of course, some of the items suggested on the recipes I have trouble locating here in the South, so it is always helpful when you make replacement suggestions.

God Bless,

Lorraine

Dear Gillian,

First of all, I have to say you saved my life!!! I was feeling awful and hated the way I looked. I joined a gym and went religiously, 5 days a week for an hour each day. I lost NOTHING!!!! I thought I was eating healthy!!! Needless to say, I gave up after a year.

After several years and 20 pounds of weight gain later, my back was really bad. Then I tried your plan, and the weight came off, even though I was only able to walk for a short distance each day. I feel better and the pain has subsided. God bless you!

thank you and bless you, you are my lifesaver and my Goddess!!!!!

Annette - Canada

Dear Gillian,

Donna - Pennsylvania, USA

Dear Gillian,

I would like to start off by letting you know that I am a big fan of your show on BBC America. Actually, I can’t get enough of it. I have learned a lot about better ways to eat.

I love that most of your dietary recommendations come from alternatives to meat – beets and spinach for iron, flax seed and whole grains, to name a few. Your show is one of our favorite topics of conversation. Thank you for your commitment to teaching people better eating habits.

Thank you,

Laura

Dear Gillian,

Just a note to say thanks for this info as it is life changing.I have watched your shows from the first show. I have recently just lost 74lbs, on my own journey back to self, thank goodness for all the info over the many years and programs that I have watched over and over.

Barbara - Canada

Dear Gillian,

I feel like I know you just from watching so many of your TV shows. My husband and I truly enjoy this show and are learning so very much about nutrition . Thank you and keep up the great and interesting shows.

Bonnie - Canada

Dear Gillian,

I have been watching your show called “You Are What You Eat” on BBC Network for a very long time. It is definitely my favorite show! I am writing to you because you are so inspiring and I love the way you are so ‘to the point’ with the people who come to you for help. You genuinely care about each one of your clients.

There was a time when I was 185 pounds. I am only 5 feet, 1 inch so I was extremely overweight. I had been battling my weight problem for about 16 years. Thanks to you and your show, I have been motivated even more to continue with my progress.

Keep up the good work Ms. McKeith!!! Onward and downward!!!!!

Sincerely,

Donna - Huntington Beach, California

Dear Gillian,

Gillian has had a very positive impact on my household. One of the problems I faced when I migrated from my home land to North America is a lack of knowledge about the new food that was suddenly available to me.

It has been a challenge, but I am making wiser choices thanks to Gillian. Thanks in advance for your help and have a great day!

Andrene - Alberta, Canada

Dear Gillian,

Thank you for inspiring me to finally do something about my weight and ill health.

Ten years ago I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes but until I began listening to your program on BBC America I did not take it seriously and subsisted mainly on McDonald's and junk food. Of course I felt Horrible!!!!!

I began incorporating your suggestions little by little into my life and find that my sugar levels are under control and my energy levels are much higher. I no longer cough and gag all the time and my stomach ailments have all but cleared up.

I am having a wonderful time experimenting with whole foods and am aiming to become a vegetarian soon down the line.

Thank you Gillian and keep up the good work!!!!!

Yours,

Patricia

Dear Gillian,

I am a 40-year-old mother of four. I have suffered all my life from a rare GI disorder and have struggled to eat and eat well. Your show in the USA, "You Are What You Eat," and its nutritional information has helped me to get the upper-hand.

My tongue was a shocking disgrace but is slowly looking better and has been a great indicator of what I need and how I am progressing. Six months ago I was dying -- a heart attack waiting to happen -- and today I have a new lease on life and feel 30! I just wish people who abuse their bodies with disastrous choices could appreciate the gift they are throwing away.

Thanks for your guidance and for listening,

Jodi - Colorado, USA

Dear Gillian,

I have been watching you on BBCAmerica for over a year. Then I bought your book and cook book. In may I started using your program. Since May I have gone from 280 lbs to 230 lbs.

Anyway, at Christmas our family decided not to exchange gifts, only for the grand children. My youngest daughter is in the US Army National Guard and had been in Iraq for a year came home just before Christmas. I went to see her and as I hugged her she staired at me. She said. "Good God!!! You've lost weight!!!"

Then at Christmas my oldest daughter whom I hadn't seen since march said, "Mom you look good." A few months earlier my middle daughter had told her that I was looking good and was running around playing with the kids and I never had energy for that before.

So even though we didn't exchange gifts I received the greatest gift of all that my kids noticed the difference. So THANK YOU so much!

Not only that but your associate explained I might have a dairy allergy and told me how to test it. Sure enough I do. My Dr had already told me I had a glutin allergy and it was part of the psorisis problem and your assistant said dairy was as well. So I have been dairy free since March and the psorisis is almost completely gone just a few small spots behind my ears.

I had my yearly physical in Dec. and took your books to my Dr. He was very happy with my results and said if the weight keeps coming off I should be able to do without my blood pressure med. I was high normal but now it is normal and he said I could begin to go without and just keep a check on it and use the medications if it goes up.

So on behalf of my Dr., family and myself THANK YOU so much. Have a blessed and happy year. I will keep you in my prayers.

Respectfully,

Billie

Dear Gillian,

I just want to tell you that your 70's Disco Walking Workout is wonderful. I wasn't sure I'd be able to use it, because I walk on a treadmill, but it works fine, and you've got me walking faster than I've every been able to make myself walk on the treadmill.

I'm even using it on the elliptical trainer, and it works really well for that too. Just the right music, just the right pace and increase in pace, and just the right amount of encouragement from you; it really helps with the inevitable treadmill boredom, and I look forward to working out now, and get a much better workout.

I joined your club in July 2008 after watching your terrific TV show on BBC America, and have been following your nutritional advice since then. You have changed my life, I have lost lots of weight and finally can control my appetite. I think you are the best nutritionist out there, please keep up this great work.

Lenore - Miami, Florida USA

Dear Gillian,

I just wanted to let you know just how much I LOVE your show. I find all the infomation you give extremely helpful and love the way you get through to some people.

Everytime I watch your show I always tell my husband what I have learned from it and apply it to our lives. I am constantly telling my friends and family about the "poo" info you share. I apply it to my girls that are 6 and 3, about the importance of healthy eating and having good poos. I want to thank you for airing your show.

Thanks and take care,

Ami - Ontario, Canada

Dear Gillian,

I've lost 3 stone so far and your book has changed my life. I am 16 stone now and struggling to shift the rest but it is coming off.

Jonathan

Dear Gillian,

I have been watching your T.V. program here in the US and have been in bootcamp. I took the health profile and it says I am doing well but need some improvement. I have been slowly but surely improving with each month taking suppliments and eating lots of vegetables. I kept myself from getting all the supliments I needed in the beginning because of how much they were so I was still getting the headaches.

Well I finally went and bought the rest and now for the first time in a few years no headaches! I am on my period right now and usually I have to take "IMETREX" for them. I know they are expensive but I thought if I had to buy the suppliments and take the imetrex I would go broke. Last month however I broke down and bought them all and no headache!

Kim

Dear Gillian,

I have been watching your show, "You Are What You Eat" on the BBC Channel, and after being clinically obese for about 4 yrs now, (130 lbs) at age 40. I have lost 8 lbs, in just 2 week! My thyroid was sluggish, and I was lacking specific vitamins like you said, when you taught that the tongue is the "window" of the body.

Just implementing the tools that you taught, on the hollistic approach to proper nutrition, and of course excersise, me, and my children and my husband are now eating healthier, and the pounds are falling off! I am of dwarf stature, 4 ft 2 inches tall, and so are both of my young children. So it is vital that our weight stay under control.

Thank you for your show, and this note was a simple thank you for inspiring me to quit putting rubish into my body. Your point of proper nutrition was well taken, observed, and utilized to it's fullest in our family!

Thank you!

Danielle

Dear Gillian,

I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for all you do. I have been watching "you are what you eat" for some time now. From the first time I have seen the show I was inspired to do an overhaul on my diet or lack there of. I feel better than I ever have.

And my intestinal problems are gone. Since I have a wheat intolerance, the way you suggest meals and what not are perfect. I don't have to worry if something has wheat or not. I have already lost 40 pounds in just over a year. I have another 40 to go. I must admit to missing my coffee, but I stay away because I know that the way I feel now is so much better than the way I did before.

Thanks for being an inspiration to me.

Love and light,

Sonia - USA

Dear Gillian,

Just wanted to say how much I enjoy watching " You are what you eat". I am just ready for some new shows. I can almost say the shows word for word I have watch them so many times. But just keep up the good work Gillian and tell it like it is..

Thanks,

Tony

Dear Gillian,

I just want to say thank you. I have suffered from anorexia for many years and I want to get well. I have been following her recipes in a bid to get healthy again, I currently weigh 6 stone 7lbs im 5ft 5in which is very low.

I have most of Gillians books which I have found inspiring and I hope will change the way I feel about eating and get me back to some sort of normality as I so badly need to get well for my children and family.

Regards,

Courtney

Dear Gillian,

you are a blessing with a wealth of health knowledge, I just discovered your show on BBC America. I have been recording every episode on the DVR, you are exactly what I need.

Theresa - Pittsburgh, USA

Dear Gillian,

I have been watching your program and I too admit I never really was educated about the value of live food verses the dead, chemical processed food that one can consume throughout their lifetime either with lack of knowledge or awareness of the outcome of consumption.

Your program illustrates that so very well, after seeing those tables of processed foods I have changed my lifestyle, still a little overweight however I am working on it, thanks so very much to you. Blessings to you.

Dana - Summerland, CA

Dear Gillian,

I have watched your show on BBC America and have been so interested in changing my life like the people you work with. I'm just beginning my journey but I feel so encouraged that I can accomplish my goals with your help. Thank you so much for the wonderful website, health profile, recipes, etc. You are an angel in my life.

Love Laurie - Orem, Utah, USA

Dear Gillian,

I wanted to tell Gillian how much I love her and what she does. My name is Andrea and I watch her show on BBC America EVERYDAY!! I have learned so much just from watching her show. I have lost 2 stone from taking EVERYTHING she teaches and apply it to my everyday life!

Anyway, I just wanted again to thank her for caring so much! I honestly don't know how depressed and overweight I would still be, if it wasn't for Gillian!!

Keep doing what you do best!

Andrea

Dear Gillian,

One year ago this month, my wife and I had the great fortune of seeing "You Are What You Eat", on BBC America. We were fascinated and inspired by the stories of the people you helped.

We started watching every episode we could, noting the bad habits that we needed to eliminate, and the good foods we needed to adopt. By following the concepts, and switching to the foods you recommended, we've both lost weight, but more importantly, have become incredibly healthier!

My wife's health had declined prior to this, due to caring for elder family, as she was not caring for herself. Her skin, nails and hair all reflected this. Now her hair is shiny, her nails are strong, and her skin is becoming smoother. I no longer need the blood pressure and cholesterol medications I was taking, and we're both healthier than we were 30 years ago.

We now have people in their twenties (we're both 50-something) asking what we're doing to get healthier, and we point them in your direction.

Thank you, and keep up the good work!

John and Chris

Dear Gillian,

I love "you are what you eat", its a great show and i cant believe how some people cram all that junk inside them!! Well done for sorting them out!

with kind regards

Melanie

Dear Gillian,

Thank you so much, I will purchase those books and read them. M personal trainer Shiloh Bunce told me he lives by Gillian McKeith (and he is a national sprinter), and advised me to follow your rules. I look forward to learning as much as I can from the books and website.

Thanks again,

Alexia

Dear Gillian,

I am reading You Are What You Eat and I am IN LOVE with it. I've watched the show for many months.

The work you do on a daily basis is admirable, exciting and rewarding. Your shows are very entertaining, while providing all the interest of medicine; my personal favourite being supersize vs superskinny; i honestly love the work you carry out, managing to better people's lives while educating a huge number of viewers.

Thank You,

Dear Gillian,

I live in USA and since we've gotten the BBC channel I have immensely enjoyed watching 'You Are What You Eat." My hat's off to you for your involvement in the lives of your clients and all those who watch you. I always learn something new when I watch the show.

I also love the British sense of humour because I love a good laugh. There is always some funny incident or comment in the show. Your expertise in healthful diet and living is pioneering. Thank you for your hard work and inspiration. God Bless You, Gillian.

Respectfully yours,

Shirl - New York, USA

Dear Gillian,

I really enjoyed your show about the Mother and daughter who were overweight and bring up the subject of drinking. Sometimes we women don't want mention that subject but your show did it perfect. Thank bunch.

Deborah - Dallas, Texas

Dear Gillian,

I would like to ask if you can do TV around people who have had an abdominal operation and suffer from sluggish bowel as a result.

I had a hysterectomy with both front and back repair in September 2007. Apart from being told straining is VERY BAD if I want the op to stay successful, being warned the bowel can take a long time to work efficiently again and being sent away with a small bottle of lactulose, advice for getting back to normal was non existent.

After 3 months of being very careful and continuously taking lactulose I started to try weaning myself off the medicine, but ended up going back to work still dependent on it.

By July of 2008 I was in the doctors being prescribed antidepressants, counselling and tramoxedine to help me sleep. 29th September 2008 found me totally unable to work, crying in front of my doctor and on the sick for an indeterminate length of time.

Then I found a copy of your book "You are what you eat" and bought it to help me understand food. I had about 75% of the signs in the diagnosis list…. So I began my journey with your help. (I thank you and your team so much.) After 7 or 8 days the constant pains, which I'd previously written down just to see what was happening, were almost forgotten.

Since then I have moved from 5 days between bowel movements, or diarrhoea if I increase the medicinal laxative, to almost one bowel action a day.

My tongue has lost its horizontal cracks and the central crack and teeth marks have lessened though it is still swollen and white covered. I still have other symptoms to deal with but frankly I don't care too much as I am making progress at last.

BUT my biggest hope is to find some way of other people seeing your work as important after abdominal operations. I thought about writing to my local hospital and I pass your website URL to anyone who cares to listen, but that isn't wide enough to reach thousands of people like me who are harassing their doctors to no avail.

Yours sincerely

Teresa

Dear Gillian,

Firstly, before I begin, I would just like to say how much of a role model you are, you have realli changed my life around with your healthy eating, and your books, espeically with your TV show 'You Are What You Eat'.

Yours Sincerely

Adrian - Wolverhampton, UK

Dear Gillian,

I really want you to know that your book “You are what you eat” (it’s translated into Croatian language) is a really great support for me J I bought your book because I liked the title (I have a few pounds more than I need to), I never heard about you or your book before, and now I am a great fan of yours and since I am reading this book and living the way you told to – I feel and look better every day. I lost 2 pounds in one week just like this!

I really want to THANK you for the great text, all the definitions and tips and tricks – IT WORKS for the first time in my life!!! And I learned a lot about food I never heard of.

With best regards,

Tina - Zagreb (Croatia)

Kind Regards,

Dear Gillian,

I started watching your show on BBC America a few months ago. I'm only 23 years old, but I was having migraines, stomach pain and was very uncomfortable with my body.

While I was in the normal range for my height (5' 7, 11 stone 9 lbs) my eating habits were not good. I would eat junk food and take out late at night and pretty much starve all day.

I didn't see anything wrong with it because I figured it was better than overeating. Now I know how wrong I was. Now I eat plenty of fruits and veggies as well as seeds and nuts. I live in Atlanta, Georgia and obesity is a serious problem. I'm glad that with your help I was able to correct my eating habits before it was too late.

Now. I have more energy, I'm happier and I have lost about 10 lbs. Even my boyfriend is eating and feeling better. If more people knew the damage they were doing to their body they would think twice about eating junk. I plan on taking what you taught me and continuing this healthy path. I'm also trying to make my friends and family aware of what they put in their bodies.

Thank you for changing my life. I wish I could give you a big hug!! Thanks again!!

Kerry,
Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Gillian,

Your instruction and support have been invaluable. I can never thank you enough for what you have done for me.

I will continue to follow you on BBC America, remember the wisdom that you have imparted to me, and I will continue to encourage others to change their diets and their lives especially by referring them to you on your website and on your program "You Are What You Eat."

Again, thank you so much for all you do to improve the lives of so many.

Karen,

Dear Gillian,

I watch the show and LOVE it!!

Since finding your show about 2 months ago, I have stopped eating sugar (with the exception of a small amount of brown sugar with my steel cut oatmeal with flax seeds each morning). I have also given up most of the diet soda I was drinking. (I used to drink 2 - 5 cans per day.....I now drink 1 or 2 per week). I have cut out coffee (it was decaf, but I could just hear your voice telling me about all the chemicals used to remove the caffeine).

I am adding fruits and veg to my diet more and more each week, and hardly ever eat red meat.

Rhonda

Dear Gillian,

In general I must say that you are doing good job all of you, thank you for that. I am every day on Gillians internet peages and taking inspiration and reading. Thank you and sorry about not perfekt english,but I hope that you will understand.

Dear Gillian,

You are a true gift of God. How gratifying it is to see a woman on tv manifesting such true femininity: motherly, no-nonsense, intelligent, humorous, and inspiring. I love your directness. You are an example for us all. Thank you, Gillian. I think you are beautiful in all ways and I am grateful you are on earth. You have given me someone to look up to.

Sincerely,

Dear Gillian,

I have been watching your show for several weeks now and since discovering it I have become addicted!! I have been trying to eat and live more healthily, and have discovered more tips and tricks on your show than anywhere else I've found.

Love your show!!

Sincerely,

Lisa

Dear Gillian,

I just wanted to thank you and tell you the impact you are having on my life and my family. I have just started your program and boot camp starts Monday - I have been building up to this after watching your show for several months now and have adopted lots of your advice in my diet, one big thing is drastically reducing my alcohol intake.

Thank you so much for enlightening me with your healthy ways so I can improve my life and educate my children.

Sincerely,

Jill

Dear Gillian,

I wanted to thank you for your fast response my computer is having problems so I am late in thanking you and telling you to keep up the great work and pray they never take you off tv. I would truly miss watching you and plan on getting her next cookbook I tell everyone about her and her great food diet I am losing thank goodness and thanks to her.

Bev,

Dear Gillian,

I bought the book the Ultimate Health Plan (when I worked in uk - I'm working in middle east since July 08) and really your diet programme will keep me slim for life. Can tell you,starting with the plan in April and I never looked back. I feel more comfortable. Lost 4kg in 4 weeks. I continue with my programme. Thank you for the healthy eating programme.

Zenobia

Dear Gillian,

I have watched your show on BBC America for a few years…all while I was eating something. I am overweight and have a lot of the same symptoms as your clients and I know that what you were teaching them was real. It was also very evident from the results your clients enjoyed. I have known I need to do something different.

I did see that you were publishing a book and I put my order in early. I got them just this last week, and I have been juicing and eating fish…and moving my butt and other things she has asked and I just want to say that even in a few days I feel great. I just want to say thank you. I am going to keep saying ‘I am slim’…(even though I am not…yet) and I hope to be a success story here in Utah.

My body knows that what I am doing is good for it….I can tell. Thank you Gillian. I intend to do my best. If you ever come to the US…I hope to meet you. Have a great day.

Dear Gillian,

I am a fan from the US. I watch all the time on BBC America. So, you can imagine my joy at finding her website so helpful to those of us not located in the UK. I just joined the program today, and can't wait to go shopping.

Nan

Dear Gillian,

I wanted to write you and let you know how much you have impacted my family. In the last month of watching your show on BBC America( I live in San Diego, California) I have learned so much about proper eating. We now live a yeast free and bad carb free life style. It has made such an amazing difference in our lives.

My husband is a diabetic and the changes in his sugar levels have been wonderful. I, myself, have been feeling a million percent better too. Everything has changed inside of me. I am basically a vegitarian now and have enjoyed every minute of it. Feeling as great as I do, I would never go back to feeling awful as I used to.

I have been researching new ways of making my husbands life easier by finding healthy new ways of making very satisfying meals and treats such as my own recipe for making banana bread using almond meal, vital wheat gluten, and Splenda. Almond meal is my new best friend.... I especially liked how you brought to light that we all need to re-think what to eat for breakfast. THANK YOU.

I feel soooooo much better now. ( By the way, (hahahahah) I pay much more attention to my "poo" and am proud to say that I do 2 to 3 times a day) I like seeing real people on your show, and seeing how eating great really does affect them.

I have to admit to you tho, that when I first started watching your show I didn't like you very much, ha ha ha. BUT now that I understand you, and the show much better I appreciate you and your drive to help people. So I humbly bow to you and thank you for the difference you have made for my family and myself. Thank you Gillian, I really thank you.

Sincerely,

Denise
San Diego, California

Dear Gillian,

I have been watching your show here in the USA and truly believe in what you say "you are what you eat"! I am back to getting my life together at 40 and am going to incorporate some of the ideas I have learned from your show!!

Dear Gillian,

Greetings from the US,

You are my favorite show and I am sharing the news with many others who are interested in nutrition. We do not have any holistic nutritionists around here - at least none as thorough as yourself. Congratulations on a program which empowers people to make better choices.

Respectfully,

Lisa

Dear Gillian,

I have tried dozens of other programs however this one is actually tailor made for the individual. I know I will not only lose weight but will become much healthier and enjoy life more by eating the right foods for me. I am very excited about getting started.

I also signed up for the Boot Camp and can't wait for that to begin. thanks again for your web site and the great show, YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!!!

Dear Gillian,

Firstly, I have to congratulate you on such a great program. My 13 year old daughter and I love to watch your program ‘You Are What You Eat’ on BBC America.

Dear Gillian,

I Think you are fantastic! I have read all of your books, and your information and advice about a persons diet is absolutely right. It would seem you are the only person who does'nt think dieting is acceptable.

The fact that you dont encourage fad dieting or simple starvation is so good to hear.Please keep up the good work,You have really helped me as i have struggled with low blood sugar for such along time and no doctor seemed to help.

Simple foods can change how u feel.

Thankyou
Miss Blue Jones

Dear Gillian,

First of all, I love your show "You Are What You Eat". It has really helped me to have a better understanding of how much an impact food has on our overall health. Recently, both my mom and I lost about thirty pounds each.

Aaron

Dear Gillian,

I feel as if I know you. I watch your program "You Are What You Eat" every morning at 11:00am here in Ohio. I have learned so much from you. I admire your tenacity and passion about good health. I have Fibromyalgia, severely, but in learning how you approach nutrition has helped me immensely.

You have a wonderful gift in helping people to change their lives. I pray for you daily as I realize that there must be so much that goes into your program. I feel that you truly care for those that you help. It is genuine. God Bless you in your endevors to spread the word about nutrition.

Okay, now I am going out to buy some ice cream and cookies! Just kidding. You are a joy.

Sincerely,
Mary

Dear Gillian,

I am writing to you because I think you are wonderful. I have recently been able to watch your program on BBC America, "You are what you eat", and your holistic guidelines for helping people are extraordinary.

Respectfully,
Karen

Dear Gillian,

Six thousand miles away in Tulsa, Oklahoma I watch "You Are What You Eat" on BBC cable. Who would have thought it could have had such an amazing effect on my life? Certainly not me! I had more or less given up healthy eating years ago as there were just so very many things my system could not handle such as salad, raw vegetables, fruit juice etc. My foods of choice became mostly dairy and simple carbs.

However, as time passed I began to slowly put on weight and eventually developed IBC coupled with high blood pressure and occasional bouts of diverticulitis. As there are plenty of meds for these problems, I relied on the doctor to keep me from being totally miserable. In addition, I have bought/tried/and even lost some weight on a variety of diets but never without great discomfort and little lasting effect. The point being, food has always been the enemy!

As I watched Gillian recommend a fresh diet of impossible variety for people of every size, shape and age, I thought why not? I've tried everything else! I call it eating out of the refrigerator. It is not a diet! I don't count anything; calories, portions, combinations of foods. I simply eat fresh with the addition of fish, chicken, seafood, olive oil and bran. In 5 months I have lost 4 dress sizes, have an average blood pressure of 110/68, have stopped taking altogether meds for cholesterol, not one episode of diverticulitis and my bowels are amazing!!

Everything that goes in comes out in a timely, pain-free manner. I swim and walk now when I never had the energy or inclination before. In other words, I am the master of my own body, health and well being after 60 years of misery. There is nothing I CAN"T eat (even nuts) but there is a lot I don't eat; mostly "beige food".

Thank you Gillian McKeath!! Why do we all make something so easy so hard? It is nothing short of a miracle! My new favorite food is roasted white beets......along with the occasional bit of caviar and Champagne. Life is good and what "You Are What You Eat" has done for me is something I didn't think possible.

Most Sincerely,
Karen - Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA

Dear Gillian,

I am so thankful for the work you do. It finally makes sense to me why it’s so hard to lose the weight. Until you came along, I didn’t realize what I was doing wrong.

I am thoroughly enjoying the TV shows here in the States. So much can be learned from watching each one. Thanks for helping us all live healthier lives.

Jan

Dear Gillian,

I just wanted to share with you how much I enjoy your show as well as your intelligence and audacity. I am so excited about the profile I just received and will peruse it carefully.

I don't watch a lot of TV, but your show has been a favorite of mine this summer. I feel so blessed to have "met" you this summer via TV. Your "common sense" approach coupled with wisdom and compassion is somewhat of a novelty in today's hectic world--because you tell it like it is, something many people will not do.

Again, thank you for reaching so many people and for knocking some sense into our heads about HOW to take better care of ourselves.

We are a fat, alcoholic nation that is killing itself with fast food and a lazy, unhealthy lifestyle. I should know - my roommates and I fit that mold perfectly. All four of us watch your program on BBC America and we think you're amazing and what you do for people is inspiring and selfless.

I want to say thank you for inspiring me to eat better and live a healthier lifestyle....I'm off to go find your book right now and hopefully start on your diet.

Wish me luck!
Jason

Dear Gillian,

I watch your show here in Atlanta Georgia and love it!

Your concerns, help and expertise is phenominal.

Tina

Dear Gillian,

I'd like to say a massive Thank-you for your books and inspiration. I've been working withe the recipes in You are What You Eat for a few years now, and over the last 6 months i've been trying to completely abstain from sugar which i found impossible until i bought your book - Ultimate Health Plan, and now i've been abstinent from sugar for a whole month and still going strong. i love the ordliness of it all.

I feel like through your books, you are teaching me how to feed myself well, and helping my transition to a more healthier happier way of life , at last. And i feel like i am receiving the kitchen mothering i didn't have before. And the other best thing is that virtually all the ingredients in the recipes are acceptable for my current diet plan, which is based on a philosophy called Natural Nutrition.

Massive Thank-you, and many blessings,
Henrietta

Dear Gillian,

I want to thank you for all the work you do. I used to think that my diet was fairly healthy. I grew up with eco parents on wholegrains and lots of fruit and vegg. what I hadn't realised was that once I went to high school and discovered soda and vending machines (and later at uni booze and late night kebabs) I started adding tons of crap to the healthy basis. When I saw your programmes I thought well yes, that's all nice and good, but maybe a bit extreme, cutting out all the cake etc. and after all I was all smug about my healthy eating.

but my health was in such a state!! I was first diagnosed with fibromyalgia but have since found out that candida albicans is the actual problem, not fibromyalgia. I have since embarked on your lifestyle and enrolled for boot camp and I can already see the difference!

..and I love all of your recipes! I used to like beans but never knew what to do with them. boy has that changed. so a massive thank you for putting me on the way to becoming the person I should have been all along!!!!!

All the best,
Catherine

Dear Gillian,

Thank you for your website and show on TV all the family love it and you are doing so good in the world to promote healthy eating and way of life for all to enjoy. Thank you for your help all the best wished from down under.

Kind Regards,
Vennessa, Burswood, Australia

Dear Gillian,

how are you. I watch your show and I wanted to let you know that it has great tips and as a result, I have lost 3 stone in 2 months. It's great!

Helen, North Wales

Dear Gillian,

I would like to a say that watching your show over the summer has inspired me to eat healthier and I am feeling so much stronger with loads of energy. I was going to have a lap band operation this coming fall but I am now rethinking this, thanks to you. Thank you so much!

Sincerely
Roseanne, USA

Dear Gillian,

Thank you very much for these great tips!

Thank you for all your wonderful work, I am really enjoying Boot Camp, and feel an enormous change in my energy since following your dietary guidelines (with some steps back here and there, but in general progressing very well!)

Very best wishes,
Helen

Dear Gillian,

We watch your fantastic programme "You are what you eat" every week. You've done so much and helped so many people. Let God bless you for all that, and give you all the best.We have your three books, and we use all the rules. I can tell you we feel much better.

We wish you all the best, many successes in your life-career.

Kind regards,
Jennifer and Daisy, Poland

Dear Gillian,

Thank you for your wonderful television program "You are what you eat". It is horrifying to me that people can poison their bodies the way they do. I could not imagine not eating fruit or vegetables.

My husband and I having been eating "your" way (lots of fruit and veg, etc) for about 10 years. I have 2 boys, a 4,5 year old and a 2,8 year old. I frequently get asked how I have come my boys enjoy eating fruit and vegetables and how to I get them to eat it - my answer is that I as a mother am responsible for their future health and from the day that they started on solids gave them homemade pureed vegetables and mashed fruit. I believe that we teach our children their eating habits. So I say thank you for waking up the rest of the world and for this

I applaud you. Keep up the wonderful work You are an inspiration and remind me that I am doing the right thing.

Regards,
Fiona

Dear Gillian,

I felt compelled to send an email regarding the "You Are What You Eat" television show that I have begun to watch on BBC America.

Since I started watching about 2 months ago and following some of the food preparations and amounts to eat during the day I've dropped 38 lbs!!

I did this in 2 months! I wanted to say how much I appreciate the show and really wish she would come to the U.S. and have an American version. You have inspired me to live an active healthy life.

Thank you,
Josh

Dear Gillian,

I wanted to send an email to tell you of my experience.

In early July, I took a vacation and had been feeling generally ill. Achey, stressed, tired and about 15 pounds overweight. I had watched your TV show a number of times and purchased you book, You Are What You Eat several months earlier.

I'd flipped through the book but not read it cover to cover. Well, on Wednesday, after several days of sleeping in, thinkinking I should feel better and not. I decided "what the heck", I'm going to give it a try. I went to the market and purchased a supply of fresh fruits and berries, fresh veggies and some salmon and organic chicken breast and health nut bread.

I started on my eating plan. I am now 18 days into my plan. I've lost 11 pounds, feel less tired and stressed and my mind feels clearer than it has in years. I have so much energy and I feel so much happier. I know that it is the eating plan that is really helping me and I want you to know that I appreciate the information you share.

Thank you.
Robin

Dear Gillian,

I bought your book and so far have made all of the soups they are absolutely delicious. Thank you for such healthy nutritious and gorgeous recipes.

I also watched your TV programme where you really helped people change their eating and their lives. Thank you for all of that.

Lorraine-Christine

Dear Gillian,

This is the start of something great! Sometimes you just don't know what's going to motivate you to do something that's going to change your life.

While out shopping with my sister, Lisa, today she began talking about your show, "You are what you eat". We were lauging about how you use the word "poo". I had never seen the show and Lisa had me in hysterics listening to her stories about your tv show. As we were leaving the parking lot were saw a "Borders" bookstore.

I said "Let's go see if she has a book". We went into Borders, and well that's when it happend. As we started to look at the book we got each other really motivated to try this. We looked at the menus and the recipies and said to eachother, "we can do this".

There we were in Borders, looking at each other's tongues, behind our ears, and beneath our lower eye lids. The only thing we didn't do was examine each other's poo! Well we left Borders with the last two copies of your book and headed to the grocery store to purchase what we would need for the first 3 days of your menus.

When we got home we brought everything to Lisa's house. We think we can stay on track if we keep each other motivated. Tonight I'm going to settle down with a nice warm glass of lemon water and your book. I look forward to the journey, new taste bud experiences, and a healthier lifestyle.

Sincerely
Mary

Dear Gillian,

I also would like to share that I have lost 10 pounds, (I am now 135 pounds, yeah for me!), but more importantly, I feel fantastic. My nerves are gone, and I have better concentration and focus than I have had in years. I can't believe that I blamed my lack of energy and mental confusion on the standard "I am a busy busy mom" when in reality, all it really was was a lazy way of eating.

I used to constantly think about what I wanted to eat or feed my family. I have found restaurants that actually have vegetarian options that are out of this world delicious. I have discovered that since I like tuna, greens, garbanzos, corn, etc., that if I like the individual flavors, I can actually put them all in the same bowl and have a meal. What a "duh" moment! And my family doesn’t even realize they are eating better.

I don't know if it is because we are eating better and as a result more steady in energy, but I don’t think about breakfast the night before or dinner all day long. I do a little prep work if needed and get on with my life in between meals. And what a life it is! I actually enjoy being active with my kids! Tennis is fun! Swimming is fun! Walking is fun!

I will continue to watch your program here in America on the BBC station, even if I see them a million times. It keeps me motivated and encouraged to stay on track; why I need to "eat to live" not "live to eat". And also to choose whole foods and thereby have the energy to play with my kids and hubby. And that's fantastic.

Thanks again!!

Marty

Dear Gillian,

I have been very successful losing almost 20 lbs. I have two other members of my family on the program and they are all doing well. Gillian thank you so much for your help.

We have bought your books and are using all your recipes and advice.

Patsy

Dear Gillian,

My name is Emiko from Singapore and your book is helping me go through many of my issues concerning my eating disorder. Somehow your method comforts me and day by day I can find myself capable to stick to it.

So thank you very much for your help and your contribution towards everyone. It is a god send! thank you again for helping me deal with my eating disorder!

Yours Sincerely,
Emiko

Dear Gillian,

I am hooked on BBC America and you in particular. I have succumbed to the bad eating and have always come back into the light. You are responsible for this final turn of the leaf.

It has been really difficult but when I watch your show (every day), it strengthens my resolve to continue. Thanks for sharing the truth.

Lisa
Keizer, OR

Dear Gillian,

I love your show! Your show is a huge encouragement. I have watched your show with my 5 children many times and we have learned so much.

I believe they listen better with nutritional instruction coming from Ms. McKeith than their Mom. I'm thrilled to see a cookbook available and I'm anxious to order one.

Thank You,
Jessica

Dear Gillian,

I just wanted to share this with you. I teach a Weight and Your Health class and use your books as the texts. My students love your books and your kind, honest and gentle words (as do I!). I wish I could show you how far they have come by the end of the quarter.

I just wanted you to know how grateful I was for the work you do.

Jeanne

Dear Gillian,

When I started watching your show on BBC America I was defensive about my weight and lifestyle as many are on your program. I soon realized I was only defending my right to die fat and miserable. I had never eaten much fruit. Vegetables, I assumed, grew in tins. Bread, pretzels, ice cream, fried foods of all kinds, fast food and sauces with a gazillion calories were my best friends. Your straightforwardness was repulsive to me at first. But, I thought, who am I really angry with ? I watched several times to see what foods and exercises I could incorporate into my life. I am 66 years old, have arthritis and gout, and noticed a decline in my will to do things and in my libido. These were all things you pointed out to the people on your program.

The short story is.....in 6 months I have lost 4 stone, with 1 more to go. I walk a lot. My mood and attitude are changing for the better.

I cannot tell you how much better I feel, both mentally and physically.

Keep up your wonderful work and thank you for awakening me to what I was doing to myself.

Richard
Memphis, Tennessee, USA

Dear Gillian,

I was shocked when I watched – you are what you eat – last night. I normally eat a lot of rubbish through the day and have struggled to lose a bit of weight but your show has really opened my eyes and I feel really motivated to cut back and eat health now.

I am going to buy your cookbook too.

Thank you for opening my eyes and making me see how junk food is so bad for me.

Yours sincerely,
Mary

Dear Gillian,

We get BBC here in the states and when we started watching your show, I was horrified at what some people eat in a weeks time. I ordered your book. So far I have made three or four of the recipes.

We LOVE the sweet potato soup and the apple chicken. It's our favorite so far. To be honest,I made the sweet potato soup with butternut squash and leek. All of my friends and family who tasted it asked for the recipe. I have two sisters but my one sister who is ten years my junior looks older then I do. She and husband are grossly over weight, so I am going to work on her with your book. I am going to work very hard.

Thank you for opening my eyes to healthier cooking. Big hug!

Lucille

Dear Gillian,

I am a swedish "girl" about 48 years old. For the last year I have notice what exercise and eating the real food is doing to your body and mind. Your books are amazing and I follow your food list as much as I can and trying to do some powerwalk several times a week. Your books are great and I learn so much about health and food every time I read them.

Thank you Gillian You are the best

Dear Gillian,

My name is Andr'e and I'm from California and I wanted to write this letter to tell you how much I love your show! You Are What You Eat. I started on your eating healthy program and I must tell you its been two months now and I've not had sugar or red meat! just Fish and Chicken and veggies i follow your plan the best way i can.

About 7yrs ago I had Kidney Cancer they had to remove my right kidney the other is healthy, before that I had thyroid (hyper) then ended up with thyroid storm left me with a 106.4 I made it thru but did have a lost of short term memory.. but hey I"M ALIVE and here. (thanks to my angels that watch over me) after all that has ha pend i feel deep into an "I don't care" attitude i thought why bother I'm sure something else will go and I'll be dying soon.

I really got into a bad 'FUNK" anyway as a few years moved on I noticed that I'm getting better my check up on my left kidney was 100% I felt a light come upon me.. that day i was checking in the TV programs on the tube and saw your show OH MY GAWD!! it was wonderful to see all those people and there lives and what they went thru and up the street here she comes that's right folk our angel MS McKeith..

I hope I did not dull you with all this but i just wanted to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I'm doing the best i can but i find there are alot of things i cant seem to find at health food store like aduki beans and a few other items:-)) but I manage pretty well,

Thank you Ms Mckeith (My Angel) for helping better my life and health.

BIG HUGE HUGS
And're

Dear Gillian,

Wow, 8 weeks goes so fast. I just completed my second health profile and was amazed at the progress. This is so worth it. Every day that was tough or I wanted to have that glass of wine or cup of coffee but didn't, and went for a walk instead was well worth it.

My dogs have had improvement as well, my previously somewhat overwieght dog is now fit and trim and no longer breathing hard even after a 3 mile hike!

Everyone that is just starting out all I can say is you will feel and look so much better so quickly, and find that is was a lot easier than you thought..

Thank you Gillian and staff I am for the first time in years looking forward to the future. I have even started competing in horse jumping again!

Ccino

Dear Gillian,

I have only seen two little clips from your tv programme and they were enough to make me change my ways pronto. That was enough I think. Since then I have changed from three slices of toast each morning covered in butter to a bowl of cornflakes. I am addicted to butter and have given it up. My husband who doesn't need to lose weight has also decided that we will throw out all our white bread etc, after finally watching a whole programme where we saw the family who ate lots of processed food each week.

I cannot thank you enough. Hallelujah I feel better already even my workmates have noticed a more positive and cheerful me. Now I know what you mean now I can see the change myself.

Narelle

Dear Gillian,

Just wanted to write you and THANK YOU For your wonderful resolve to change the world! I think It’s HILARIOUS to watch you approaching random strangers and telling them that what they have in their trolley is rubbish. Seriously though, your show has changed my families life. We eat healthier daily and we feel happier and skinnier! Thank you for your WONDERFUL SHOW!!!!

Emily and family

Dear Gillian,

I just wanted to tell you how much I'm enjoying your show "You Are What You Eat".

I really have enjoyed your visuals especially (like the pork snouts). Besides having my own internal voice telling me not to eat something I shouldn't, I have your voice, as well. And it is helping. Thank you! Keep up the good work. My husband and I now have an inside phrase as we walk around - 'oh, oh there's a Gillian candidate.'

Thanks again,
Ginny

Dear Gillian,

I want to thank you for allowing my to get help to loose weight and live a healthier life.

I watch your show all the time and love it. Thank you again.

Dear Gillian,

My name is Jona, and I'm a 40 year old woman from Iceland

Just recently I bought your product Organic Turbo Greens and the miracle happened; I dont have the urge any more to be constantly chewing on something. That has basically been my problem, always looking for something in the kitchen to eat ;o)

Best regards
Jona

Dear Gillian,

So glad I found this site. My friend and I watched your television show over the Christmas holidays and found it very inspiring. We have the books and your cookbook.

Just wanted to thank you and I look forward to the change in my health over the next few months.

Peggy Young-Lovelace

Dear Gillian,

I recently read your article in The Mail on Sunday (May 25th 2008) about scoliosis. I found it most informative and interesting.

I have cut out one phrase that struck me – Our challenges in life can be our greatest gifts. We can be empathetic and loving to all and pass no judgement. Always laugh out loud. This is the path to wellness on all levels.

After all you have achieved – I see aduki beans and quinoa all over the place now, how about some praise for your perseverance in getting the nation to improve their eating habits?

Best wishes to you and your organisation.

Theresa

Dear Gillian,

I watch from BBC America - just discovered the show a month or so ago. I love it!

I have lost about 60 pounds (just over 4 stone) over the past 10 years - and I feel wonderful. I eat healthy and walk every day and would like to lose 2 or 3 stone more. The recipes sound great on the show - do you have a cookbook available?

Thanks!

Dear Gillian,

I really enjoy your show "You are what you Eat". It is just absolutely a great show. I cannot believe what people can eat. It totally astounds me. And I know it astounds you too.

I love to watch you gather all of a persons weekly food intake and put it on that table for them to see. Anyway, this girl with a new lease on life here in California just wanted to tell you that the show rocks!!!!

Hi, my name is Annalyse Bayliss. I joined boot camp a few months ago and benefited greatly from the experience.

I would like to thank the staff and yourself for all your education. I am now in a much better place for it. Again thank you so much for your expert advice and professionalism, it has turned my life around.

Kindest Regards,

Dear Gillian,

You have not only changed my life, you have inspired me and I feel in the long run saved my life. You are also helping me to help my family, friends, and boyfriend. We are all addicted to You Are What You Eat.

It's much easier to resist temptation when I know I'm having to face you @ 4pm on BBCAmerica, 5 days a week. You are my hero!!! Thank you on behalf of myself and my loved ones, and my now very physically fitter dogs.

Please keep up the good work. Well I better get going, just finished my smoothie and the dogs and I need walking. best of luck and health in all you do,

Melanie,

Dear Gillian,

Please come to the US. I am British but live in Dallas so I get my family to bring me books etc when they are coming over.

I have watched every single episode of you are what you eat on BBC America and now I make my husband eat pumpkin seeds and things high in Zinc!!!!!!!!!!! I have converted all my friends too and forward on emails with interesting stuff.

Sarah

Dear Gillian,

I just wanted to say thank you to you. You have really opened my eyes to what I put into my body and into my families bodies.

We have changed how we eat and look at food (and poos!...hahaha). I have lost 20 pounds and my husband has as well. It's not about vanity anymore. It's about life and being around in 50 years to see my grand kids and great-grand kids.

I starting watching "You are what you eat" on BBC America some time ago and you are great. You tell it like it is. Have you ever thought of coming here to America? We really need someone like you to whip us Americans into shape!

Thanks you so much for who you are and what you do. Please keep up the great work that you are doing, saving people from themselves!

Much Love and Respect,
Anna
Clarksburg, West Virginia, USA

Dear Gillian,

I watch 2 of your shows everyday on BBCA Channel on DirecTV.

You are very inspirational to everyone. Please continue with your shows. They help me keep on track everyday, & I learn new things about food.

Thanks.
Beth

Dear Gillian,

I have read a lot of books:

Galina Schatalova, Dr. Schnitzer, Dr. Bruker, Dr. Reckeweg, Elisabet von Bingen, Mr. Müller Burzler, Shigeo Haruyama, Halima Neumann, G. Edward Griffin, Earl Mindell, John Robbins usw.

But the best of the books is " You are what you eat"!

That`s easy to understanding and have very, very good health-informations. I have lost the faith in the doctors. I must only do it.

Best wishes,
Peter

Dear Gillian,

I felt at once I started taking Turbo Greens much better energy and my humour picked up after few days went up and I keep smiling about new me. But the biggest changes which is a breakthrough for me is that I do not binge on sugary things anymore which I have done for ever. Sugar has been my drug that has destroyed all my healthy eating plans and diets always and the kilos is now pounding off.

My son has been taking it as well and he have had problem with his concentration (ADD) and his focus is much better. This combination that you have put together is a miracle for me and most of the people around me that have tried Turbo Greens are totally in love with it.

Yours truly,
Thuri

Dear Gillian,

I’m a big fan of your show; it’s wonderful to see so many people get such fantastic results from your programs. I’ve bought two of your books (You Are What You Eat and Slim for Life) and have taken away some great ideas for improving my own health; which is why I’m writing to you.

I used to be a one poo a day, every day, usually by 8am, kind of woman. I was that way for years. My diet has many fruits and veggies, whole grains and nuts, plenty of water, and regular exercise. However, I also have a number of chronic illnesses that require medication, and I suspect the meds are what have done me in. Recently, for many months, I endured chronic constipation.

Sometimes I wouldn’t go for days, which was painful and made me feel full of toxic goo. After watching your show and reading your books, I decided to try adding 1tsp of whole flax seed to each breakfast (fruit smoothie, hot or cold cereal) and drink one cup of nettle tea each afternoon. I got immediate, positive results. It’s been just over a week of these additions, and I’m now an AT LEAST one poo a day woman. I feel like I’m finally getting rid of months of backup and I see the results of that; clearer skin, less bloat, my weight back to what my normal is (130 lbs for a 5’7” woman), and much more efficient digestion. I am very grateful for having a nutrition fix for my problem.

I had tried stool softeners and Miralax, both of which were almost useless. Oh, wonderful nettle tea! What a simple solution you are. Thank you for your devotion and passion for healthy lifestyles. You are witty and inspirational, not to mention cheeky and funny. I like honest and direct people, and you fit the bill.

Best Regards,
Beth

Dear Gillian,

Thank you for the time and inspiration Ive learned so much from the TV Show, I'm eating better and cutting out that crap and I've lost almost 1 and a half stone!

Johnny

Dear Gillian,

I wanted to write and say I've been watching you on "You Are What You Eat" and it has brought such an awareness about the foods I eat. It is truly a learning experience!

I am glad I found the show on our BBC channel and I will continue to watch and learn, keep up the wonderful work and the stories. I hope I can become a successful student by watching these stories and how her determination pushes people into the correct direction to promote better health.

Sincerely,
JoAnne

Dear Gillian,

I wanted to say hello and a huge thank you for your show and what you are doing to peoples lives. My wife and I have been watching your show thru BBC America on Satellite Dish Network.

We have completely changed our lives and what we eat because of you and for once in many years I fell really "Alive"!

Please keep it up.
Erick

Dear Gillian,

I watch your show on BBC America in Fort Lauderdale florida every day and I think it is wonderful. I wish I had seen it for myself before I had Gastric Bypass surgery about a year ago.I think your plan could have really helped me without the surgery. But I still am using some of your ideas in my day to day life now.

I also just wanted to say that I think your show is wonderful. You help alot of people who I bet thought to themself that they could never lose that weight. You help save alot of peoples lives and that is a gift from God. Thank you very much for all that you do in this world.

Lori

Dear Gillian,

I started watching your program a few weeks ago on BBC America, and I really feel you might have saved my life. I am going to go see my doctor on Tuesday for the things I feel is wrong with me just by the clues you have given me.

All the things I have found out on your show I am going to have blood tests run and I am going to see a nutritionist to help me solve my health issues. Yes I am going to see an American version of our beloved Gillian. I would love to keep you updated and let you know of my progress.

I want you to know you are not just help your home county but all the way across the ocean in Arizona. I hope you read this, and we can kind of form a friendship and share your health tips and good nutrition ideas with me. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this I know you are very busy breaking the bad eating habits of England’s worst, but I wanted you to know that even abroad You have touched the life of someone that you may never meet.

A very Thankful American fan,
Karen

Dear Gillian,

I have been on Boot camp for 5 days now and I feel amazing! I loved shopping for the new foods, cooking up everything and following the easy eating plan. I have had a few cravings but they settled after a lovely cup of herbal tea.

I actually had the energy to fly a kite with my kids AND have got up at 6am today wanting to do exercise!! This has not happened in years! I am so motivated and look forward to my daily emails!

Thank you so much for helping me focus on what i need! A bonus is I've lost 2.6kg BUT the best bit is my waist has melted!! And my legs feel so much smoother!!! Bless you all!!

Diane

Dear Gillian,

Thank You so much for the information. If Gillian ever decides to come to the US, then let me know. I appreciate it very much! I am a fan of Gillian and her work, I have never seen anyone completely change someones life as she has.

Thanks,
Bethany

Dear Gillian,

My daughter is your biggest fan by far she has watched (and made me her Mum and her Aunt) watch re runs of your shows again and again! Georgia is ten years of age and is totally enthralled with you. She is a fairly healthy girl but does like her blueberry muffins!

She would love more than anything to meet you and does nothing but go on about it, today she has asked me if she could meet you for her 11th birthday, she says she doesn't want anything else but to meet you.

At this time she is making me one of your recipes, its a secret so im not allowed to peep but think its got something to do with fruit and yogurt, well it wouldn't be blueberry muffins would it! I don't know if you will get to read this email but at the outside chance that you do, a reply would make her year.

Thank you for listening.

Kindest Regards,
Yvonne

Dear Gillian,

I want to thank you so much for all of your help! Me and my mother have been on your plan for almost a month now, and we have successfully began to "eat ourselves thin"!

So far, my mother has lost five pounds and I have lost seven and one inch from my waist. . You've got me brainwashed, Ms. Gillian, and in the best possible way! Me and my mom absolutely LOVE your food! It's so tasty and so fresh, and we feel great after eating it, and working out has become like a drug to me; I'm addicted, and I have to get it every day.

Well Ms. Gillian, I just wanted to give you an update on how we are doing and to give you the thank you that nothing can express.

Love, Mikaela

Dear Gillian,

I have lost 80 lbs. in the last year. I used to weigh 236 lbs. and eat badly. I did not feed my family well either. We ate out of boxes and fried foods.

I now weigh 157 lbs. and my family and I eat healthy meals. We eat whole foods and try new recipies all the time. I am writing to tell you that I enjoy your show on bbc and learn something new from each show.

I plan on using your products when I am financially able. I admire your character and belief in health. You have inspired me to move forward and lose the remaining 33 lbs. I am going to purchase a juicer as well. I now understand the benefits of this untapped resource.

I never realized the nutritional value of fruit's uneaten parts. I want to thank you for being an inspiration. I will continue to watch the show and look for new ideas.

Regards,
Christine

Dear Gillian,

My husband and I watch your show everyday here in the USA. We have been following your "lifestyle" for 4 weeks now and the inches are melting away! We love the food.

I got your book, Slim For Life, at the library and it is wonderful. We have been on a mission to convert all our friends away from WeightWatchers!

Sincerely,

Dear Gillian,

You are awesome. I have TIVO'd the program and watch them back to back. I can't get enough. I am a nutritional counselor here in Maryland and am loving what you are preaching! Finally, the truth!! Thank you thank you!!!!

America needs you! Please come! And if you ever are giving trainings here, or need people on your team here in America, count me in!!! What an amazing thing you are doing. I can't gush enough.

You are healing people the "right way."

With much respect and admiration,
Ana

Dear Gillian,

I am a huge fan of you, your show, your book and your healthy living guide! I am hoping that you bring your show to America! I have friends in the UK who adore you (Poo samples and all!), but I think a special American edition would be so beneficial to those of us who are obese! America will be more of a challenge for you! I am sure that the American diet will be more difficult to break or change. More food addicts in the states!

I would just like to tell you "Thank You" from the bottom of my heart! I love your show and have learned so much from you! I feel I am more equipped when I visit my doctor! I have told him to check my liver because of examining my poo(not for long- just enough to gather info!). And a great Big Thank You because of you and your show, my 11 year old daughter is much more mindful of what she eats! You have been a life saver!

Hope to see you on American television very soon!

Sincerely,
Kathleen
