You Are What You Eat is a British dieting programme presented by Trisha Goddard and Amir Khan that broadcasts on Channel 5.
On 5 March 2021 it was confirmed the show would be revived with Goddard and Khan replacing McKeith as host, with the first episode of the new series broadcast back-to-back on Channel 5 with Dr Amir's How To Give Up Sugar (and Lose Weight)[6] (also known as Dr Amir's Sugar Crash)[7] on 5 January 2022.
The phrase "You are what you eat" was first expressed by Ludwig Feuerbach in 1863 (German: Der Mensch ist, was er iszt.).
In each episode, all food eaten in one week by the person(s) taking part is placed on a table to highlight problem areas of their diet.
The fourth series was expanded from half to one hour programmes, with the contestants moving to McKeith's London house and being visited overnight at their homes for inspection.
One of the approaches Trisha and I had is that a lot of diets and exercise regimes are based on people of a Caucasian background.
Localized versions of You Are What You Eat were produced by Viasat and aired in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Hungary and the Czech Republic.
In 2004 Celador International (now CPL) arranged a deal with the publisher of the A Place In the Sun magazine, Brooklands Group, to publish a spin-off magazine for You Are What You Eat[15] with the publication featuring advice from Dr Gillian McKeith, tips on healthy eating, recipes and exercise.
