About The 1970s Diet: Could It Work for You?
This show ended on January 8, 2026, after airing its two-part season on Channel 5.
"The 1970s Diet: Could It Work for You?" was a social experiment that aired in 2026. It featured presenter Josie Gibson immersing herself in the food, drink, and health culture of the 1970s to see if the diet from that era could benefit modern eaters. Over two weeks, she followed a specially designed 1970s diet, created by a nutritional expert, and underwent physiological tests before and after to assess any changes in her health, fitness, and weight.
The show was a documentary-style series that explored whether the eating habits of the 1970s, often considered an unhealthier decade, could have positive effects if adopted today. It aimed to compare the lifestyle and dietary patterns of that time with current health standards, providing insights into the decade’s approach to nutrition and wellness.
