If you're seriously ready to lose weight, and not play around- then Jillian Michaels is your girl. She proudly sports a shirt with BULLY written across the front. She's a no frills fitness expert who has helped dozens of people on NBC's The Biggest Loser and through her books and Web site.
Jillian calls it "real weight loss for real people." Her hard-hitting realistic approach to weight loss has been cultivated during her more than 17 years experience. Her celebrity star rose to the top as one of the coaches on Biggest Loser, where she drives her teammates to work hard, play hard and live healthy.
She successfully coached team member Bill Germanakos to win the most reason season 4 of Biggest Loser. He lost 164 pounds and was a clear winner early on. Jillian takes on these seriously obese contestants, and through the intense four month program, transforms them to be almost unrecognizable. But in these new bodies reside healthier, more driven individuals. When you can conquer your weight- what can't you take on?
In addition to being a stealth coach on Biggest Loser, Jillian has penned her own book, "Making the Cut: The 30-Day Diet and Fitness Plan for the Strongest, Sexiest You." Her plan revolves around support, diet and exercise. She says when you have a support system in place, you find strength from that and have the motivation to continue. Eat well and having a consistent and smart fitness plan are keys to losing weight and keeping it off.
The Jillian Michaels' Web site has all of the tools we've come to expect from online diet program- weight trackers, journals, meal planners and daily menus, calorie calculator and a fitness diary. You can also get a custom exercise plan and have your questions answered in the Ask Jillian forum.
Jillian battled with her weight as well, so she knows exactly what you're going through. But if you look at her rock-hard body, you can see she also knows exactly what it's going to take to get you there, too.
Jillian won't leave you hungry. You'll enjoy three meals and a couple of healthy snacks each day. With meal planners and a library of recipes, you'll find meals that are as delicious as they are nutritious, like Jillian's Reuben and Chicken Soft Tacos. And since making a meal in the kitchen isn't always the most convenient option, she'll teach you how to make smarter decisions when dining out.
The Jillian Michaels program is pretty affordable at about $4/week. When compared with other similar programs- it meets and sometimes beats its competition. The book can be found from many online booksellers, new and used, for very affordable prices.
Jillian Michaels offers the tools and knowledge to finally lose the unwanted, unhealthy weight for good. You can back up your book and Web site program by keeping up with her on the Biggest Loser and find continued education from Jillian. She begins season 5 with the show's first couples edition on Jan 1.
