To find Michael Mosley annoying

What a shame, I've met him a few times and he never once asked me to drop my knickers.

I was ready!

The calorie thing has been thoroughly debunked by science (not the diet industry). We know a lot more know about the human body than we did decades ago. Our body processes different foodstuffs and nutrients differently. An example of something that that surprises many people and ‘feels wrong’ due to what has been drilled into us for so long, is that animal fats are beneficial for us. They slow down digestion resulting in sugars (refined or otherwise) being released into the bloodstream more slowly. Meaning the body ticks along nicely, feeling fuller longer and not dumping sugars quickly for our systems to struggle with, then lay down as body fat. Vegetable oils that are not cold pressed and all Margerines/Spreads are trans fats which are terrible for our health. This also applies to cold pressed oils (including Olive Oil) when heated, so we shouldn’t cook with them!

We absolutely know now that all calories are not equal. Our bodies are too complex for that.

@JanglingJack I believe Harry Hill was a gynaecologist 🥺 ,the mind boggles.
I think it's Dr Tim Spector another diet & gut guru.

@GreekDogRescue Maximilian and Mike, separated at birth.

At least Harry Hill had the gall to practice.

I think.

No idea where Phil Spector fits in to this.

He's okay. If a few million people watch or listen to him and realise that they're eating crap and change their minds, reverse their Type 2 diabetes, then the NHS is saving ££££££££££££. Not keen on his voice though.

Is he a grandchild?
Oswald had quite a few children with his 2 wives.
Nothing online. I suspect he keeps it quiet but interesting nonetheless

Yeah he is a bit annoying.
His Fast800 diet is extremely effective if you need to lose weight quickly, it really worked wonders for me and would be good in certain circumstances e.g for an operation to get BMI down.....but good luck sticking to it for any longer than a few weeks!!

OP, I'm late to the thread, so missed the vote, but yanbu. I dislike him for all the reasons you say and also because his tv programmes make conclusions based on very limited evidence. I can't give you a recent example, because I now avoid his shows, but in the past they have been along the lines of:

• There is anecdotal evidence that X is good for you so I'm going to put it to the test.
• A small number, e.g. 3 people will try X for a month or so.
• He will interview them to ask them if X had positive effects (note, no controls for the placebo effect).
• They usually say X worked.
• He declares X as proven.

Not exactly scientific!

He reminds me of "Dr" Gillian Mckeith from channel 4 who was featured in Ben Goldacre's book, Bad Science: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2010/jul/18/ben-goldacre-gillian-mckeith-twitter

Yes

Of course its related to the question!!

If you think he talks a lot of sense, you're probably less likely to find him irritating.

Is he related to Oswald Mosley?

This has got nothing whatsoever to do with people finding him irritating. Ridiculous comment.

YANBU. I’ve always felt guilty about hating his voice but I loathe it. Mannerisms to. And the 800 calorie limit put me off his content as well as I’d recently recovered from a bout of anorexia during which I was eating… 800 calories a day!

He talks a lot of sense . They're are clearly loads of people who do t understate that basically we are what we eat

Ive just said on another thread that the public dont want to hear that ultimately you have to eat fewer calories, so they want some bells and whistles method to lose weight.

But advice is always stating the obvious, what more do people want? The vast majority of people who are overweight need to eat fewer calories to lose weight (if they want to lose weight)

So what do you want him to say?

I really like him. Think he talks sense and is inspirational. I've been putting a little bit of weight on, I watched one of his shows and am back to watching what I eat and exercising.

I I originally thought that he was a scientist who knew a thing or two about what we eat.

I now consider him to be a bit of a charlatan who has hooked people in to his massive dieting empire.

"Just one thing" seems like a good idea, until you realise there are 80 episodes.

So, "Just 80 things" then?!!

Yep. Everything is a grift to him.

Mosley is giving his agenda he doesn't give a shit about health.

I can’t stand MM’s wife. Unbearably smug.

I'm watching last nights programme - I can't believe that couple are spending 15k per year on takeaways, while living with his mum. And mum gives the impression that she takes no prisoners, so I'm very surprised they've all survived 3 years of sharing a house. 🏠 d be mad as hell if my kids were wasting that kind of money, while living with me to save a deposit!

I agree. It really stunned me how much of the 'food' I eat isn't actually food at all. Not in the real sense. Just empty calories, flavourings, sugar and various other chemicals and additives.

It is a very good read. He's ruined carb killa/grenade bars for me!
