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
