Why I despise Gillian McKeith
Bogus PhD, bogus scientific claims, nasty attitude towards people she's supposed to be helping.
This article says it all really:

God, I really can't stand the woman. Why do these TV programs like This Morning keep having her on, dishing out dodgy advice? Can't they see she's a fake?

I've never seen any of her shows, but just picked up on her pretend qualifications from a few comedy shows, such as Have I Got News For You, oh, and I remember on b3ta.com's weekly e-mail, some website published a very sarccy apology for doubting her qualifications, which was quite funny.
I'll read that article in a mo, but my tea is ready, it's not just any pizza it's M&S pizza :D
The Grauniad article hits it right on the head. I remember reading a book my mother had, written by an actual real doctor which went to lengths to burst the quackery over health foods that became so fashionable starting in the late 1980s. It sounds like this woman is espousing the same discredited advice that my mother's book was firmly rubbishing.
And yes, beer, ready meals and burgers can be part of a healthy diet. There's no such thing as bad foods, only bad diets.
I usually involves her examining the victims poo.
For runny poo she says.
"No wonder your poo is runny look at your diet"
For hard poo she says.
"No wonder your poo is hard look at your diet".
For normal poo she says.
"No wonder your poo smells like that look at your diet".
Or for normal but non smelly poo she says:
"No wonder your poo is that colour look at your diet"
I don’t think it matters what the victim’s poo is like Gillian seems to want to criticise it.
It was then I began to realise that this woman does not know what she is talking about.
It makes me mad then people like this tout the title Ph.D or Dr like this. As a researcher studying for my PhD in a well respected institution I appreciate how hard it can be to get one. I believe the way Gillian touts the Ph.D. and Dr title is grotesque and vulgar. It's also loosing the credibility that a PhD once had. She should be banned from TV and publishing she is a menace to science.
Channel four are famous for doing this though. Didn’t Carroll Vorderman get a Third for her Maths degree at Cambridge. From what I understand she spent most of her university life pissed up or on her back.

Necros.
There's a whole song about it in the Scrubs musical episode.
Why the hell would you go on tv for someone to sift through your shit to tell you what problems you have ? Surely the first problem would be going on the show in the first place !
Oh wait. There is one.
Complete with examinations in the middle of the chuffing street.
Season 6. Was recently shown on E4.
Well, you wouldn't need a first class degree to be good at mental arithmetic even I can get the numbers question right sometimes

She probably eats all the poo up afterwards. When no one's looking.
Have you seen this?? http://www2.b3ta.com/host/creative/24656/1171509065.gif
This animation is also quite funny:

that fucking irks me that program. go to your GP its FREE, ok you have to book an appointment and turn up in his or hers working hours, the NHS hasn't gotton to that stage yet where your family doctor will wander the streets looking for you.
my TV license is paying these doctors to dish out advise, don't i already pay for that in my tax.
tbh is you are too dubm to go to the doctors you deserve to die. and its not like they are visiting the diasabled in their homes these muppets are donig the shopping, the lazy fucktards!!!
'i have massive chest pains, but i thought i'd do a bit of shopping instead' arghhh, thud
But a lot of people she stops seem 'normal', why would they want their bits showing on camera or admitting they have ingrowing arse hair or some great bit spot on their cock etc ? If i had any of those problems they showed, eg someones toe gone totally mouldy or some weird scab i would go to my local GP in privacy not on TV out to 5 million homes etc !
Weird.
:lol: :lol:
It's good to see you're over that lovey-dovey stage and are back to your old self!
Maybe her biggest crime though, beyond just the quackery, is the speed with which she suggests people lose weight. If you drop 10 kilos in a few weeks then you're probably doing it in an unhealthy way.
The officially recommended way to lose weight (if you need to) is to do it slowly but steadily over the course of a year or more, using a lifestyle that you will find relatively easy to stick to for the rest of your life (ie food you enjoy eating, exercise you enjoy taking).
