Jillian Michaels is the popular, no-nonsense physical trainer on The Biggest Loser whose past three pink contestants have been crowned the show’s champion. Jillian has created an online program based on her knowledge that is aimed at those fans of the show who wish to change their lives by losing weight and achieving a more active, healthy lifestyle. So is the online program as effective as the show?
First, like the contestants that are lucky enough to be on The Biggest Loser, acknowledging that you want to improve your health is the first step. Yet getting chosen for the show is liken to winning the lottery, so many “real” people outside reality television have to do it on their own. Secondly, the past three winners have lost 140, 110 and 112 pounds, respectively. They had two professional trainers, state-of-the-art gym equipment, healthy food and doctors at their fingertips.
However, some contestants that have been kicked off the show in the early stages and have returned to their normal lives, have still lost incredible amounts of weight. This proves that when properly motivated, you can do it on your own. While the Jillian Michaels diet, doesn’t literally provide her and her tough love approach, her online program does provide you with interactive tools and a plan customized for you.
Like most diet websites, you put in your age, height and weight. Now here’s where the customization comes in. It takes you to a questionnaire about your lifestyle, weight loss goals, your body type, favorite foods, injuries, and the amount and type of exercise you currently do, including cardio. Then it customizes a plan based on what kinds of foods and exercise as you should follow for your body type.
Of course, like any diet program there is a small fee to use it, about four dollars a week. That’s really not such a huge amount when you think about the money it cost to join gyms and other similar programs. For some people, this might be just the thing they’re looking for. Once you join the program, you get access to all sorts of things like online buddies, advice from Jillian, information on behavior modifications, calorie calculators, meal plans recipes, fitness advice videos and printable exercises. Of course, before starting any exercise program you should consult your doctor, and wearing that pink shirt might not hurt either.
