Gillian McKeith To Present ‘Supersize Versus Superskinny’ On Channel 4

You Are What You EatGillian McKeith, best known as the presenter of Channel 4’s ‘You Are What You Eat’, has reportedly signed up to front another Channel 4 show, Supersize Versus Superskinny.

The show will make obese people swap diets with skinny people and document the effects that these drastic changes cause.

The Mirror newspaper has reported that many professionals in the field have serious concerns about the show, and Dr Ian Campbell, Weight Concern medical adviser, said: “For the sake of entertaining people, this will replace one person’s bad diet with another’s bad diet.”

    Hey all..well well I was the 1st person to enter the “Supersize Vs Superskinny” diet swap house..the show is due to be aired Tues 15th Jan’08 8pm Chan4 and despite all the concerns the show was the best thing (also the hardest) I have ever done and the show has changed my life :-) … sadly that’s all I can tell…so you will all just have to wait and watch :-)

    I would like to thank everyone that has supported me throughout this experience (it’s been a long haul as the whole process began back in June) I wouldn’t have been able to do without you all (you all know who you are) so thankyou :-) and thankyou to all the crew on the show for making the experience amazing, I had grate fun with you all :-)

    Hope you all enjoy the show and enjoy watching me suffer LOL!!!

    hey guys! As Yasmin said, this show is very difficult for all 8 of the overweight ladies!

    My aunt is also appearing as one of the 8 ladies. She is currently being filmed now. Her feedback to me so far has been good! So middle of January 2008, watch the show and be educated what its really like to be a supersized person!

  3. Yasmin says:

    hey Guys…just me again…

    I thought I would update you all on how it’s going. Well I filmed my final segment for the show today..sadly I can’t tell you how much weight I have put on (as it’s all top secret) ..you will all just have to wait and see..either the 22nd or 29th Jan’08 Chan4 8pm..but lets just say you will all be pleasantly surprised…. as was I :-)

  4. Yasmin says:

    Hey Yasmin!
    I also took part as the ’skinny’ one!!! Ha ha! I saw your interview in Grazia and enjoyed it. I had mine today with New Mag. I have stuck to my diet but have not put any weight on, boooo!!! Honestly I haven’t stopped stuffing myself – went to docs to explain, they sent me off for blood tests etc for an over active thyroid but all tests came back fine (pheww. Anyway, it was nice to find someone else who took part – my diet swap is completely amazing and both got on like a house on fire!
    Take care and well done for doing so well…

  6. Supersize says:

    Hey girls I took part as well but as THE FAT ONE. I lost (and still losing) weight steadily. Can’t weight (I mean wait!) to see us all on TV. When were you in New mag twiggy i missed it.

  7. twiggy says:

    Hi ya Supersize!!! Were you on tonight?? I really enjoyed the show – was cringing as I knew what was coming and what it was like!!! We are in New today. That is excellent that your still losing weight, well done. I’m still trying to put on weight and have cut down so much of my excersie so that I can’t burn it off!!! It’s a shame we don’t all get to meet eachother. Our show is 3rd in…

    Hi all

    ..getting very excited about my show next week :-) you may have seen me in the trailers for next week LOL and the intro.

    All is going well and I am keeping the weight on..still have few things to sort out and I have an appointment soon at an allergy clinic..hopefully this will hold the answers to some issues that the show could not reslove..sadly TV is not magic.

    I hope you will all be tunning in next week :-)

    Kind Regards Yasmin x

    Yasmin; unless that is your actual number posted above, no criminal offence has actually taken place. Even if it is, it’s really a civil matter.

    Also, for a skinny bird you have an awesome rack. Just thought I’d put that out there.

  13. some bloke says:

    I think we’ve heard enough of your self inflated ego, I knew you when you lived in Luton and you were a liar then and a self absorbed attention seeker.

    I remeber you used to whine about food all the time while your mum tried to pimp you off to any kind of publicity she could manage, it was sad. So here you are on a television program (thanks mum) talking about your weight (again) whoop-dee-doo.

    Women need better role models than you. You’re just wrapped up in your own problems.

    G

    P.S. nice rack? they were like fried eggs last time I saw, a boob job? so you preach on about your looks and resort to surgery, -1 respoect. -100 for seeing you havn’t changed one bit.
