These Celebrities Are Not Happy with Jillian Michaels Since She Slammed the Keto Diet
http://bit.ly/2FBoJHt Jillian Michaels didn’t make too many friends with her comments against the popular keto diet. The longtime trainer, 48, is getting called out left and right by celebrities after she said the high-fat, low-carb diet was a “bad plan.” Michaels first heard it from Andy Cohen on Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live. RELATED: Jillian Michaels Slams the Keto Diet: ‘Why Would Anyone Think This Is a Good Idea?’ “Tonight’s ‘Jackhole of the Day’ goes to Jillian Michaels, who slammed the keto diet as an awful diet,” Cohen, 50, said. “Don’t feel bad, keto diet. A lot of people think Jillian Michaels is a bad idea.” Then Today weatherman Al Roker said on Thursday that Michaels’ time on The Biggest Loser made her a poor source for health advice. “So @JillianMichaels says #Keto is a bad idea,” he tweeted. “This from a woman who promoted on camera bullying, deprivation, manipulation and more weekly in the name of weight loss. Now those sound like bad ideas.” RELATED: 7 Dangers of Going Keto Roker, 64, explained on Today on Friday that he’s been successfully following the keto diet since Sept. 1, and saw improvements in his cholesterol and blood pressure levels. RELATED: Jillian Michaels Isn’t the Only One Who Hates Keto—These 5 Other Experts Say Ditch the Diet “My point is, what works for you, works for you,” he told Today co-anchors Craig Melvin and Dylan Dreyer. “There’s science on both sides that says it’s not a great idea and science that says it is a good idea. I think it’s up to people — with their doctor, with their medical professional — [to make their own decision].” Roker said that Michaels emailed him a response that he chose not to read on air. Later that day, SHAPE shared a new video with Michaels explaining more about why she’s anti-keto. RELATED: The Best Diets of 2019—and Why the Keto Diet Ranked So Low “What’s my take on keto? It’s not a take. There is no take,” she said, explaining that what she’s saying is fact. “The side effects? Too much fat, too many calories, too many animal proteins. You’ve got micronutrient deficiencies, because you’re not getting all the phytonutrients and the antioxidants and polyphenols that you would be getting if you weren’t afraid of an apple, or a banana, or a papaya, which is absurd.” “On top of all that, our cells are made of protein, fat, carbohydrates and nucleic acids,” she continued. “When you’re not eating all of the macronutrients you’re literally starving your body, you’re starving your cells. Those macronutrients have very specific jobs for your biochemistry; for your body to do what it needs to do for you to continue living in the healthiest way possible. So if you want to look your best, feel your best and live your longest, that is not the diet for you.” RELATED: 5 Supplements You Should Take If You're on the Keto Diet Jersey Shore’s Vinny Guadagnino — the self-proclaimed “Keto Guido” after losing 50 lbs. on the program — saw the SHAPE video on Instagram and sarcastically commented that he’s quitting keto. “S—, I guess I have to go back to eating pasta and bread now,” Guadagnino, 31, wrote on Instagram, as spotted by Comments by Celebs. He then posted a pre- and post-keto photo on his Keto Guido Instagram account, with the caption, “Sorry Jill #ketoguido.” And Jenna Jameson, who dropped over 80 lbs. through keto, liked the post.

This Woman Lost 312 Pounds—but the Real Change Happened After Her Loose Skin Was Removed
http://bit.ly/2M8eHPn Just three years ago, when Lexi Reed weighed 485 pounds, she made it her new year's resolution to finally lose weight. Fast forward to the present, and the 28-year-old from Indiana has lost an incredible 300 pounds. But as the weight came off, Reed began to face a new obstacle: loose skin. It caused her debilitating pain, to the point where her arms would go numb from holding up the weight of all that extra skin, she previously told Health. But on Halloween of last year, she underwent a 9-hour procedure to have some of the loose skin removed. She was terrified, she said, but now she sees it as the best decision of her life. RELATED: This Woman Lost 312 Pounds—but She Never Expected This Incredibly Painful Side Effect During the first few weeks of her recovery, Reed was completely pain-free; a literal weight had been lifted from her shoulders. But when she started working out again (about seven weeks post-op), some of the pain returned, although it wasn't nearly as limiting as it was previously. In a new interview, Reed tells Health, "Before, it would basically disable me to where I would start crying." She had seven pounds total of loose skin removed, but that wasn't all of it. "Rome wasn't built in a day," she says, explaining that she'll get another surgery to remove skin from her back, arms, and boobs. Her hope is that the pain will subside even more after the next surgery. RELATED: This Is the One Thing This Woman Wishes Someone Would Have Told Her Before Losing 336 Pounds Though she knows the procedure will be worth it, getting more skin removed won't be easy for Reed. As a person who's built her lifestyle around staying active, she found recovery pretty challenging. "It was a mental battle because I wanted to be able to work out like I always do, but I couldn't do that. So I actually had to do things like read a book and watch a movie, which was at the same time rewarding, because I hadn't done those things in so long. It was bittersweet." Getting back in the gym wasn't a piece of cake either. "I had lost some muscle, some endurance. I could tell I wasn't as fit as I was before." Reed pushed through her first few weeks back by repeating the same mantra she used throughout her weight-loss journey: It never gets easier, you get stronger. She was right. She did get stronger, and working out became much easier than it was before the surgery. "It's crazy how much lighter I feel," she says. "I don't have to worry about always tucking in my stomach. When we do jumping jacks, my stomach isn't constantly moving, so I don't have pain from that. I feel like I'm flying across the room." RELATED: I Had 7 Lbs. of Skin Removed After Major Weight Loss—Here's What You Should Know Another more unexpected result of surgery: Reed can see her belly button for the first time ever. She can also sit cross-legged, which she was never able to do before. Needless to say, Reed is loving her life after surgery. She's currently working to get certified as a fitness instructor, and she also plans to write a book. Overall, she really just wants to help other people. That's why she's candidly documented her experience on her Instagram account, which now has over one million followers. "I just want to continue to help those million people," she says. Reed always tells them to remember one main thing: "It's not about the weight that you loose, but the life that you gain."

3 Ways to Stick With Your New Year's Resolution
http://bit.ly/2Fvc5d3 Whether it’s to sit less or sleep more, we all have life tweaks we’d love to tick off in the New Year. Making a resolution may seem old-fashioned, but it’s a wise move, according to recent research: People who come up with a New-Year plan really do have more success at making a change than those who don’t. RELATED: Exactly What to Do if Your New Year’s Resolution Is Already Slipping Three tips for getting any healthy routine to stick: Don’t schedule it. “Planning a new habit for a certain time of day means watching the clock and remembering when to do it,” says Jeremy Dean, PhD, author of the new book Making Habits, Breaking Habits. Instead, make it second nature: Use an already-formed habit as your cue. If you always wash your hands then change clothes after you get home from work, tack on your new jogging routine right after the last thing you do. Troubleshoot. Anticipate what might challenge your resolve and have a work-around. For instance, if your goal is to be less sedentary, think, Since I get super busy at work, I’ll set a timer to remind me to take stretch breaks every half hour. “This kind of ‘if...then’ plan gives you the maximum chance of remembering to carry out the action,” Dean explains. Take baby steps. Got a big goal, like revamping your diet? Break it down: Start by eating a decent breakfast each morning, and once that becomes second nature, move to the next step. “If you can successfully make a small change, it will give you confidence and the appetite for more,” Dean says.

Jameela Jamil Slammed Khloé Kardashian’s Latest Weight Loss Post
http://bit.ly/2M1V3UW Just a few months ago, Jameela Jamil made headlines by shaming detox teas and the celebs who promote them (a.k.a. Khloé Kardashian). Now The Good Place actress is at it again, but this time she's after a weight-related quote Kardashian posted on her Instagram story. The story reads: "2 Things a Girl Wants: 1) Lose Weight. 2) Eat." RELATED: People Are Posting Their Weight Online for an Inspiring Reason Jamil wasted no time sharing her thoughts on Twitter. "This makes me sad," she wrote. "I hope my daughter grows up wanting more than this. I want more than this. Sending love to this poor woman. This industry did this to her. The media did it to her. They fat shamed her into a prison of self critique. Dear girls, WANT MORE THAN THIS." RELATED: Khloe Kardashian Talks Motherhood, Mental Health, and Her Changing Body Shape Both ladies are part of the body-positivity movement—Jamil with @i_weigh, an Instagram page promoting self-love, and Kardashian with Good American, a size-inclusive clothing line. Kardashian hasn't responded to Jamil's comment as of now, but she has been known to stand up for herself on social media, so we'll be keeping our eyes peeled.

Jillian Michaels Isn’t the Only One Who Hates Keto—These 5 Other Experts Say Ditch the Diet
http://bit.ly/2H6k1Uj A lot of people, and I mean a lot, think the ketogenic diet is the best thing since sliced bread (how ironic). Celebs like Halle Berry and Jenna Jameson have put the high-fat, low-carb regimen in the spotlight, and the trend doesn't seem to be dying down any time soon. But keto enthusiasts aren't the only ones who have strong opinions about this eating plan. When asked about going keto, celeb trainer Jillian Michaels recently said, "I don’t understand. Like, why would anyone think this is a good idea?" Okay then! Read on for more anti-keto thoughts from Michaels, and what five other experts and influencers really think of the keto diet. RELATED: 7 Dangers of Going Keto Jillian MichaelsIf there's one thing we know for certain, it's that Jillian Michaels will never be trying keto. The celebrity trainer didn't hold back when asked about it in a video for Women's Health: "Your cells, your macro molecules, are literally made up of protein, fat, carbohydrates, nucleic acids,'' she said. "When you do not eat one of the three macro nutrients, those three things I just mentioned, you’re starving yourselves. Those macro nutrients serve a very important purpose for your overall health and wellbeing. Each and every one of them." Witney CarsonA few months ago, Dancing With The Stars pro Witney Carson told Women's Health she tried going low-carb, but it was a serious letdown. “I’ve done keto before, and I felt really gross,” she said. “I did lose weight on it, but my skin broke out. I have eczema and my eczema was super, super bad. I think I have an allergy to dairy and cheese, so I try to stay away as much as I can now.” RELATED: This Woman Says the Keto Diet Destroyed Her 17-Year Marriage—and Now Her Story Is Going Viral Danette MayInfluencer and wellness coach Danette May is all about encouraging people to take charge of their health so they can live their best lives. But in her opinion, keto doesn't fit into that picture. "The bottom line is that the ketogenic diet starves you of an entire nutrient group for a short period of time and makes your body think you are starving. It doesn't teach you how to nourish yourself with healthy foods," she wrote in a blog post. "Rather than trying a diet that gives you a quick fix, focus on eating plenty of healthy foods that are high in nutrients and adding physical activities that will add to your quality of life." Abbey SharpThe title of nutritionist Abbey Sharp's new book, The Mindful Glow Cookbook: Radiant Recipes for Being the Healthiest, Happiest You, sums up her mission. And the way she sees it, keto doesn't cut it when it comes to nourishing your healthiest, happiest self. "Carbohydrates make up the life blood of our body’s ability to function. Our bodies need it to run efficiently, promote muscle growth and endurance in athletes, and give us the energy to get through the day [sic]," she blogged. RELATED: The 6 Biggest Keto Diet Mistakes Cynthia SassCurious about keto, Health contributing nutrition editor Cynthia Sass, MS, RD, gave the diet a go. She decided it wasn't for her...or her clients. "When I experimented with the ketogenic diet, I felt incredibly cranky as well, and obsessed about foods I wasn't supposed to eat—like black beans, bananas, and sweet potatoes," she wrote in a previous article for Health. "I’ve had clients eat this way, lose weight quickly, and feel fantastic—at first. But all of my clients who follow a ketogenic plan eventually break down and eat potatoes, fruit, or dessert (or drink several glasses of wine)." Julie UptonKeto is also a no-go for Julie Upton, RD. "Problem is, long-term adherence to such a low-carb lifestyle is almost impossible, and most keto devotees can only stick to it by having scheduled 'off' or 'cheat' days every week or so," she wrote in a previous article for Health. "Because the keto diet limits breads, cereals, grains, fruit, and starchy veggies, it’s easy to develop nutritional deficiencies. And since it’s high in saturated fat, it may increase risk for heart disease."

Jillian Michaels Slams the Keto Diet: ‘Why Would Anyone Think This Is a Good Idea?’
http://bit.ly/2SMLxI1 Sorry keto dieters — Jillian Michaels is not a fan. While the high-fat, low-carb eating plan is the current craze around the U.S. with people like Jenna Jameson and Halle Berry swearing by it, the longtime trainer said that it’s a “bad plan.” “I don’t understand. Like, why would anyone think this is a good idea?” Michaels, 44, said in a video for Women’s Health, and she goes on to imitate a keto creator. “‘You know what we need to do? All fat and animal protein!’ No! Bad plan. For a million reasons.” RELATED: 7 Dangers of Going Keto The mom of two said that the keto diet deprives your body of essential nutrients. “Your cells, your macro molecules, are literally made up of protein, fat, carbohydrates, nucleic acids. When you do not eat one of the three macro nutrients — those three things I just mentioned — you’re starving yourselves,” she said. “Those macro nutrients serve a very important purpose for your overall health and wellbeing. Each and every one of them.” Instead, Michaels said, it’s best to eat a well-rounded diet. RELATED: The Best Diets of 2019—and Why the Keto Diet Ranked So Low “You don’t eat processed sugar, you don’t eat processed grains, and to make a very long story short: avoid the keto diet,” she said. “Common sense. Balanced diet is key.” Michaels also tackled a few other hot topics, including vegetable “noodles,” or zoodles. She said that they’re fine, as long as people aren’t eating them because they think they can’t eat carbohydrates. “Veggies are great for you, so the more vegetables you eat the better off you’re going to be, right?” she explained. “With that said, carbs are not actually the devil, so if you feel like you want pasta, the key is: whole grain, go organic whenever possible so you’re not getting pesticides and all the processed crap.” RELATED: The 6 Biggest Keto Diet Mistakes Much like her argument against the keto diet, Michaels said that the most important thing to to stay balanced. “Again, don’t go overeat, but of course something like a zoodle is going to be better for you at the end of the day, so I’m all for it,” she said. “If you feel like you just need to carb craze, if you adhere to those guidelines I set out you’ll be fine. I eat carbs all the time and I’m the picture of health.” Michaels previously told PEOPLE TV about her hatred of keto, and urged viewers to do something a little less complicated. “Do not go keto. Just work out, eat clean and don’t overeat. I promise you, balanced diet,” she says. “It’s that simple.” To get our top stories delivered to your inbox, sign up for the Healthy Living newsletter Weight Loss via Weight Loss - Health.com http://bit.ly/2GCRyFt January 10, 2019 at 01:11PM
