I just looked up Jillian Michaels and think she's probably pretty
neat! This is from her website:

"Nutrition labeling includes calorie content. Make good use of that
information. If you have tried sticking to 1200 calories in the past
(or some other calorie limit) and still couldn’t lose weight, you were
probably eating more calories than you thought. For many dieters, it’s
the invisible calories eaten between meals, or consumed in beverages,
that run up the daily total and sabotage weight loss. Remember: a
latte on your coffee break, a handful of candy from a colleague’s
desk, a sports drink during your workout, the French fries off your
child’s plate—all these extras “count.” There are plenty of these
calorie traps lurking in daily life. If you want to enjoy these
treats, add them to your calorie total. Reduce your weight loss
frustration by making food labels your friend."

She sure doesn't think 1200 calories is a threat to health.

Overall, what I've read of her site suggests she is effective at
helping people with weight issues!

I doubt if she has ever been as overweight as I have been, or as
undisciplined in eating as I have been (or as many other stretch-pants
Americans have been), but her advice to others regarding weight loss
appears to be generally reasonable and not dogmatic.

Do you even know who she is?

She says she was overweight as a child.

How overweight? (As a kid I weighed a bit more than 290.) Overweight?
In the stretch-pants group?

Maybe yes. Maybe no.

Do you have numbers on her weight? (You were the one who cited her --
I had never heard of her before.)

Yours,

Caleb-


I dont know how overweight. She is one of the trainers on The Biggest
Loser and she does a Sunday morning call in show on my local radio.
She says women shouldnt go below 1200 calories and men shouldnt go
below 1500.
