You Are What You Eat
At only 5 foot 1 inch and weighing in at a frightening 19 stone, Michelle McManus was not your average pop star. Yet since winning the ITV hit talent show Pop Idol in 2003, the 24-year-old Glaswegian defied critics and piled on a further 3 stone. In 2005, Michelle decided enough was enough and agreed to subject her eating habits to Gillian McKeith's tough-but-fair analysis, and to overhaul her entire approach to food - and booze. The programme was the highest-rated YAWYE episode ever, with over 3.5 million people tuning in (a 23 per cent share). Now, having shed nearly half her body weight, Michelle is back on Channel 4 with a Christmas YAWYE update, a new album and a new single out in January. This is the no-holds-barred diary of her year, by turns moving, shocking and full of the fun, feisty, straight talk for which she is famous, as well as featuring exclusive meal and exercise plans, so you can follow her diet at home. It is an inspiration for anyone who struggles with their weight.
