Winning the Weighty Battle with Jillian Michael

Now there are diets that due capture the imagination of everyone that gets into contact with them. Sometimes the personality that is promoting the diet is so big that you have no choice but to take notice of it. Such is the case with Jillian Michael and her diets. I have no problem with aggressive promotion because it enables people to look at their weight and find solutions to their health problems. There are people who will never respond to anything unless there is an element of pressure applied to whatever they are doing. Therefore I applaud Jillian Michael for bringing alternative solutions to a problem that has troubled many in the developed world.

The only proviso that I would have with these popular diets is that they need to actually work. If it appears that they are nothing more than marketing campaigns, then they are not worth the paper that they are written on. I know that some of the claims that are made about online diets are so outlandish that you even have to wonder whether there are any people that actually believe in them. However judging from the health of the dieting industry, one can only come to the conclusion that they are doing something right and they are popular because they provide a service that is effective.

Jillian Michael had a memorable sting on the Biggest Loser where she delighted and appalled almost in equal measure depending on your attitude to diets. I personally found the program to be a hoot and would heartily recommend it to anyone who was sitting on their couch instead of going out to control their weight. Jillian is not a person that you can ignore and therefore she is exactly what we people need to get us going. Her diet works on the basis of very challenging workout routines and eating delicious recipes that are designed to control your calorie intake.

I suppose this is the foundation of all weight control programs, but Jillian has been able to communicate the message in a compelling way. I particularly like the fact that the emotional aspect of food relationships is explored by the writer. This is an area that is often ignored in the mainstream but your psychology can have an impact on the way that you construct your lifestyle. The cost of about four dollars a week is paltry compared to the potential benefits of the diet.
