the nasties challenge

The Nasties Challenge is designed to make you think about any bad habits you may have and what it means to your health. So, put your hand on heart and be completely honest here.

I make my own patients fill out food and drink inventories for at least 10 days before they come to see me. They have to write the time and details of everything they eat and drink for that 10-day period. This data can provide a fantastic insight into a person's life.

How many of the following do you consume on average in a week?
Keep a tally of your scores. Type in the numbers below and see how you fair!


*(on average a small glass of wine is 1 unit and a pint of lager is 2)

 
[text] what's my score?  

 
 

below 15: great! you may be eligible as a 'gillian groupie'!
You should be proud. Please keep up the good work. Your long-term prospects for a healthy life are superb.

score: 15-25: getting there
You are the kind of person who could easily cut out the rubbish in your diet. It's not too late. Maybe you are bored? Life is a bit dull. Get some exercise, take up a hobby. You do not feel quite as good as you could and you know it. Do something about it now.

score: 26-50: you are a player
You are dumbing yourself down and playing with your health. But ask yourself: for what reason? Do you need to get ill before you make the change? What's it going to take? Make a promise to yourself to do better. You are worth it.

score: 51-100: you are a right mess. you're not ok!
I am not happy, and you shouldn't be either, because you are a mess waiting to happen. You are playing Russian roulette with your health and body, and I'm worried. Even if you think that everything is fine right now, your lifestyle and diet will eventually catch up with you. So your long-term prospects are downright scary, if you don't do what I am telling you.

score: 101-150: you flunk, big time!
This is really bad. You should be ashamed of yourself! Either shape up by reducing your score with my advice in this book, or you're wasting my time. I am begging you, ordering you, to make significant changes, starting today. Time is a matter of urgency in your case.
