Just received an interesting email from several of my friends – poor old Gillian. Encouraging though (still sadly don’t have Nigella’s skin)……good reason to thoroughly enjoy indulging over the Christmas period:-
This woman is 51.
She is a TV “health guru” advocating a holistic approach to nutrition and ill health, promoting exercise, 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 lingual and faecal examination.
This woman is 50.
She is a TV cook, who eats nothing but meat, butter and desserts.

well, comparative photos of someone during a stint in the jungle, and someone tarted up for some kind of event are hardly fair… but i despise Gillian, so I too find this quite encouraging

Yes I agree – and lots of photoshopping too – harsh, but she did bring a lot of the scorn on herself x

oooergh….i have always gone for butter, cream, desserts, puddings, meat – but i don;t look like nigella!? i want to i want to i want to….xxx j

Same. But bet she doesn’t smoke and drink Jack Daniels either xx

What is the second lady’s name? Need to start shadowing her.

Nigella Lawson – got lots of cookery books L x

Gillian does look a lot older than 51 I have to say. I’m sure Nigella looks rougher than this photo first thing in the morning, but still……
Speaks volumes deosn’t it.
Cheers. Clink.

The inspirational Han Solo said “it ain’t the years, it’s the mileage”. The McKeith woman looks like a 1959 Ford Anglia. Nigella is more of a 1960 Rover P5 coupe. The Anglia was never lovely but was ok in its day. The Rover is still classy and head turning.
Nigella is clearly tarted to the eyeballs but the other one did set herself up for it, didn’t she? I did watch Nigella making something wonderful involving linguine and truffle oil a few weeks back. She was wearing a stunning, red v-necked sweater. And when she turned away from the camera, there were some sneaky little rolls of fat.

She is extraordinary isn’t she – I was laughing at one of her programmes the other day – she could have been doing a porn movie – all sideways glances and talk of gooey, oozy, squelchy stuff, licking her lips the whole time. Very sensual indeed. Lx

Exactly – I’d far rather look like Nigella than Gillian…

I got this one – I think it’s fabulous. I lead a very wholesome cake, chocolate and wine lifestyle – never did me any harm!
I read that Gillian McKeith’s children have never eaten ‘processed food, including cake’. They’ve never had a birthday cake? How impossibly sad.
December 11th, 2010 at 3:45 pm
Surely not?? A life without cake?? Not worth living Lx

Gillian is a joke and most of what she promotes is complete and utter cr*p. Everything in moderation I say, including butter, chocolate and JD

McKeith knows zero about nutrition – she once claimed to be a Doctor….but she isn’t (I think she has a doctorate you can buy off the net.) I know more about good nutrition than she does – and I am self taught! No one should take the slightest bit of notice of anything she says. Nigella evidently has friendly genes…but she is totally gorgeous and her TV show is simply Kitchen Porn

Ben Goldacre over at http://www.badscience.net has written a few posts (25 I think!) on the subject of Gillian McKeith and her bogus PhD, not to mention her dodgy ideas on nutrition and colonic irrigation. His website is worth a look if you haven’t already come across his writings in The Guardian.
