Lifestyle Choices At Christmas
This woman is 51.
She is a TV “health guru” advocating a holistic approach to nutrition and ill health, promoting exercise and a pescetarian diet high in organic fruits and vegetables. She recommends detox diets, colonic irrigation and supplements, also making statements that yeast is harmful, that the colour of food is nutritionally significant, and about the utility of faecal examination
This woman is also 51.
She is a TV cook, who drinks her fair share of fine wine and eats everything, including plenty of red meat, cream, butter and sugary desserts.
Take note then, and crack on with the wine and chocolates!!!!

My wife clearly needs more chocolates

Gillian clearly looks ill – I wonder if she is? I used to respect her views and watch her program. Always thought she was a but eccentric, but entertaining.
I bought her cook book and tried some of the recipes. Some worked, some didn’t – like all cook books.
Definitely looks ill to me…

“she was a but eccentric”
Freudian slip?
Seriously, I think the post needs a NSFW or at least a NSWE (Not Suitable Whilst Eating) tag. I was just about to have my lunch and now I’ve totally lost my appetite from the shock of seeing the first picture.
As for expert, look into her qualifications and education and you’ll find it a bit of a sham.

I’m 54, and whilst not exactly happy with the way I’m deteriorating, don’t look as bad as Gillian McKeith.
I don’t look as good as Nigella, but that’s another story….

Many have questioned McKeith’s qualifications, which are obscure, to say the least. She used to call herself ‘Doctor’ in her adverts, but agreed to stop doing so in 2007 after pressure from the ASA, of all people. If I want advice on healthy living, someone who looks healthy is a good place to start.
Nigella, call me any time.

It’s in the genes. Though smoking and heavy drinking also show badly in people’s faces.
Nigella is just lucky – and she is a fairly honest personality to admit that she does fuck all to look good. Others would say otherwise, but that’s mainly what it’s all it’s down to – luck in the genetic lottery.
All these potions, treatments, diets …gizmos promoted by the gifted who say to mere mortals “You too can look like me !” are all bollocks. No you can’t look like them. Along with the “You can be anything you want.” tripe. It’s all designed to make you feel inferior and need to spend money on their stuff.

Brilliant.
Apart from physical appearance, I’d say the Nigella personality (as portrayed on TV) is also much more attractive.
Ms McKeith & her cronies have often been written about by Ben Goldacre on his ‘Bad Science’ blog. Here’s one for starters . . .

Nigella has got it, whatever “IT” is. There’s a school of thought which posits that as character developes, it is reflected in the face. Unpleasant people do tend to look unpleasant, whether they’re smiling or not. Nice people tend to look… well…. nice. But I wouldn’t care to argue this very far.
Nigella — ring me NOW!!!

I notice a proportion of health guru’s seem to get ill earlier in life, my guess is about the same proportion as everyone else.
Gillian was obviously during “that show” an avid anti smoker ,however I notice that amongst that breed they always seem somewhat “wizened”.
I suppose anti smoking could be construed as a form of hypocondria ,and constantly worrying about potential percieved health threats is probably worse for you than a few enjoyable vices.
Judging other people is stressfull as it invariably creates a negative reaction.
You see I have just done it here.
But in my defence I only would do so to those who judge as in my opinion by judging, you put yourself up for judgement too. -

I’m not sure which is worse, Gillian whatserface herself, or bloggers drawing my attention to what an ugly cow she is at ‘only 51′. Couldn’t you just have put two pictures of Nigella up?

I like Lenko’s comment, but I’m (told I) don’t look too bad, although I’m fairly unpleasant.
McKeith is typical of New Age bull-shitters: holistic, detox, irrigation, food colours, etc. are all discredited, made-up nonsenses. Her face shows signs of great stress, perhaps due to her having to believe 20 impossible facts before breakfast every day. She dropped her self-styled “Dr..PhD” titling (which a real PhD knows is one or the other, never both), after (mainly) Bad Science pressure.
Nigella is seriously fit for 51 – Whoarrh! -

I love dumplings. I could eat Nigella’s with anything. . . including chocolate.

GMcK suffers with Scoliosis one of the side effects of which I am told is premature aging. Cannoy stand the woman but you can only sympathise with her illness. However Nigella, hubba, hubba!!
