She must be careful not to showcase rubbish products though as she says that the best path to fitness is good food and exercising.

She has helped so many people lose weight she must be doing something right. Everyone is different so what might be good for one may not necessarily be good for another. I loved the book and have lost 20kg thanks to it so far!

Too many of us went down that route only to end up with an impaired metabolism. Since I read this book, I eat much more than I did before, and have lost 14 pounds! I find the nutrition advice easy to follow. I am finding it a bit hard to reach my exercise goals , but that will come with time.

It was boring, and I also felt as if someone as thin as Jillian Michaels can't really understand how we feel. Granted - she has been doing all sorts of fad diets and experimented on herself, and help other people lose weight, but I still think her view of life and mine are just too different. maybe that is why I didn't like this book. Oh, and save me the memoir part. Who cares? If she really had the answer on how to boost the metabolism, she would have been a major sell out! Just another book throwing more theories around as to why there are so many overweight people. And I also don't buy this organic thing. Should we all go back in time and stop using electricity? Technology is there for a reason. I just couldn’t get into the book. It was boring, and I also felt as if someone as thin as Jillian Michaels can’t really understand how we feel.

I find it ridiculously expensive and am not always so sure that organic standards are the same everywhere. You are never really sure what you are buying when it says organic. I follow the basic principles in the book and it works for me! So far I have lost 10 pounds! I eat more than I ever used to before and have much more energy. I must admit before this - I was an absolute sucker for any fad diet around. Have tried them all, including the dreaded lemon detox Diet and the Cabbage Soup Diet. LOL! I can definitely recommend this book by Jillian to everyone. Cheryl, I had the same problem with the organic foods.

I am using many of the principles this approach is based on, but I really do not have the money for many of the products Jillian suggests should be organic. I do my best, but I am pragmatic in my approach, and so far it appears that it may actually be working. For the first time in about two years I am slowly but consistently losing weight again, and I am firmly resisting any quick fixes this time. the only way to lose weight permanently and still be able to enjoy your life is to get the metabolism up again. Mine got to be so slow, that I really didn't lose weight, no matter how carefully I ate! My only problem with the approach is the all organic.

For the first time I really have a good understanding of why I gained back all the weight I lost on numerous fad diets in the past so quickly and without exception. I used to be absolute sucker for anything that promises to help you lose weight fast. I just couldn't wait just a few months to do it properly. Always wanted to lose everything in a month. I have tried Herballife, the lemon detox diet, Atkins, you name it. All the weight came back, every time without exception. This time I am determined to lose all that fat for good. It is a pity that I allowed my metabolism to slow down so much, but it is never too late to learn new habits. I just wanted to say that I loved this book – thank you!
