I still havn't viewed it. To be honest I am weary of the BBCs continual fear of conducting investigative dietary programmes for fear of upsetting the apple cart (aka litigation). I will watch it over the weekend and give an opinion afterwards.Found it a bit of a curates egg to be honest.
The calorie restriction vegans got a bit of an easy ride.. possibly because they looked so ill (why does the wife wear sunglasses indoors?) If they were mid to late 60's then its not a great advert.
Giles mocked the paleo guys then after a week said it felt great ..... but all that fat!
The fruitarians were of course nearly all "California" 20 somethings who hadn't been on it long enough for their teeth to rot...
I was most frightened by the mixed messages from the UK GP who seemed clued up on some things. Fasting being good for example but had me shouting at the screen when going on abut "bad" cholesterol and TOFI's dropping dead from heart attacks...
So it turned out part comedy, part investigative, part mocking and guess what ended up with "moderation in all things". Oh dear another hour wasted..
You might like the raw paleo guy who slaughters a lamb in his back garden then eats the blood and organs while still warm..If I watch this am I gong to smash my telly up?
I used to have a vegan workmate/friend whose appearance would never have been a good advertisement for the benefits of such a diet - he always looked pasty and ill with a bit of a drippy nose, but he wasn't actually all that unfit... mainly just not as healthy looking as the rest of us!The calorie restriction vegans got a bit of an easy ride.. possibly because they looked so ill,,, .
Totally agree with u and I glad someone else thought it strange she was wearing sunglasses all the time lol .Found it a bit of a curates egg to be honest.

she may have sensory issues with lights, or light induced migraines. My son has to wear sun glasses a lot, even in the house.Totally agree with u and I glad someone else thought it strange she was wearing sunglasses all the time lol .

Possibly but if that was the case I wonder why they didn't mention it.she may have sensory issues with lights, or light induced migraines. My son has to wear sun glasses a lot, even in the house.
Well maybe.. but when you are allegedly "eating for longevity" and "the best way" shouldn't problems like that clear up?she may have sensory issues with lights, or light induced migraines. My son has to wear sun glasses a lot, even in the house.

They also both looked incredibly unwell and he had a pot belly.
