Gillian McKeith (born 1959) is a nutritionist, television presenter, and writer, from Scotland. She previously hosted Channel 4's You Are What You Eat and Granada Television's Dr Gillian McKeith's Feel Fab Forever in the UK for several series. She writes a weekly column for Reveal magazine and is the author of a number of books about nutrition, including You Are What You Eat: The Plan That Will Change Your Life (2004). McKeith's programme takes a holistic approach to nutrition and ill health, promoting exercise, a pescetarian diet high in organic fruits and vegetables, and suggesting the avoidance of processed and high-calorie foods. 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. Her nutritional advice and the validity of her qualifications have been questioned by health professionals. One TV advertisement of her book was cited by the Advertising Standards Authority in 2005 as misscheduled for a commercial TV break. Another issue was "informally resolved," in 2007 by the ASA about one leaflet's failure to note her PhD "without the usual disclaimer she was not a medical doctor"; she then agreed to stop using the title 'Doctor' on her products. In 2005, McKeith was given the Best Organic Businesses 2005 Consumer Education Award by the Soil Association. (via Wikipedia)
