Overview
- The two-part series, The 1970s Diet: Could It Work for You?, airs on Channel 5 this week as Gibson tests whether era-specific eating, exercise and shopping habits could inform modern obesity efforts.
- Her on-screen experiment uses a nutritionist-devised 1970s-style plan focused on smaller portions and dishes such as boiled potatoes, liver and spam.
- The presenter has reiterated that her recent five-stone loss did not involve weight-loss injections or new surgery, attributing results to sustained diet and exercise.
- She has pointed to MuscleFood’s Do The Unthinkable 12-week plan as part of her approach, following six disciplined days with a single controlled cheat meal.
- Coverage places her current transformation in a longer journey that includes a 2016 tummy tuck to remove excess skin, post-pregnancy weight gain in 2018, and a gout episode she says resolved after lifestyle changes.
