Why diet's don't work - jillian michaels

[@USA4Soldier]

Dang Jillian, you should get a side hustle as a therapist. I’m 15 lbs away from my target weight goal, & that’s not why I’m here, your LIFE advice is why I’m here. Please do more videos like these...they’re great to listen to in the mornings while getting ready for work.

[@prettybold3990]

Real, authentic, compassionate content. Thanks Jillian. I love when fitness influencers deal with the soul. so needed right now.

[@ild4406]

I am so sorry I've missed this. Everything is so true. You made realise just now that I've been emotionally eating for the past 2years. And I've tried to take the easy path with diet replacement meal shakes but it made worse. Only hard work gives results. I do have my WHY THANK YOU JILLIAN FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART ♥️

[@saskmamabear3384]

I'm morbidly obese and have subconsciously used my weight as a shield from predators. I was sexually abused as a young child, then raped at 14, then got married to a physically abusive man. Divorced and fell into a 2nd physically abusive relationship. I literally used my fat as a shield without even realizing it. But those are aspects of my past that I hopefully will never have to live tthrough again. It's time for me to realise: I am safe now, it is ok to let the walls down...its ok to put my armour down. It served its purpose, as unhealthy as it was. It is now time to take control and do something to change what I've done to myself. Jillian everything you said is 100% true. Thank you for keeping it real. Much love and respect. P.s wish me luck, I've got about 140 pounds to lose!

[@lorierowe2673]

Corporate Goth Lady I am soooo sorry. I was abused growing up too. I took control 2 years ago and lost over 100lbs. I finally realized what I was doing to myself and put my health first for a change. Emotionally and physically, I’ve never been healthier. Take care of yourself. You’re worth it!

[@inthebellyofmoby]

A family friend did the same thing for years. Every time she lost weight, men would pay attention to her and the trauma would re-emerge and it would cause her return to her original eating habits. I also knew a gay bloke who used it to escape the discomfort that the negative attention his sexuality would bring from living in a small town. It's like an invisibility cloak.

[@tuki6364]

Thank you so much Jillian. I needed to listen to something like this. Nobody talks about the deep stuff anymore, and that is definitely the root of a weight problem. You are an inspiration! Your videos and message are helping me on my journey.

[@smj112]

I needed this! Thank YOU! I've been working on my weight for 3 years now, struggling with the demons that follow me (depression from several life factors). Your words hit HARD and really struck a never but in a good way. It reminded me to keep pushing and to STOP allowing my fears and pain from the past to hold me back, So far I'm down 80lbs. I have 60lbs to go to reach my goal weight. Slow and steady; healthy foods and consistent exercise. It truly is a mindset- a life-ling mindset. THANK YOU!

[@rebeccapitts5490]

I feel like people vilify Jillian because they say she “contributes to diet culture.” I disagree wholeheartedly with that. I feel like she speaks to the fact that food is meant to provide your body with what it needs to thrive. She never preaches fad diets, or crazy restriction. I feel like all she is saying is that a healthy weight range exists (because it does!) and that you should be cognizant of your food choices so you can stay within that range. I agree with a lot of intuitive eating claims, but I also agree that it should be used within the context of common sense when it comes to diet choices. I’m rambling...but I see people DRAG her for what she says and I truly don’t find it harmful. I have struggled with body image and ED for most of my life and I still find most of her content helpful and uplifting. She speaks to health and not to appearance, and isn’t that the message everyone has been pushing?

[@extraspongy]

One of the things that Joe Bennett (one of the best coaches in hypertrophy training) preaches too is finding your Individual WHY. The why is what’s going to drive your consistency and motivate you day in and day out. Without your why, you’ve set yourself up to fail. “Dieting” is not sustainable. This we know. What is sustainable is finding things you can implement diet and training wise that you can turn into a LIFESTYLE. Make small changes in the short term that will lead to long term results.

[@visitor240]

So glad someone said it. Hard to hear but true. Find your ‘why’ , why you participate in whatever unhealthy habit/behavior it is, and work from there. The rest won’t stick until you conquer that.

[@christinacole7019]

Well put! That was a GREAT video! It was harsh but true. I think the Healthy at Every Size, Body Positivity, and Fat Acceptance Movements started with good intentions, but have been have been used to normalize and even glorify obesity. Those movements could be dangerous long-term. I also find it notable that many of the women who are the faces of those movements are relatively young (20s and early-30s). They may not have developed obesity-related health conditions yet and therefore claim to be healthy and happy. There also seems to be an irrational fear of eating disorders (specifically anorexia) in those movements. I heard that in the United States, 200 people die of anorexia every year but 1200 people die of obesity-related illnesses every day. While it is tragic for the families and friends of those who died of anorexia, obesity is clearly the greater public health threat.

[@mirandadawson4236]

Eating food and finishing a plate creates a sense of accomplishment for me. I feel so rewarded because I finished a task. Aside from eating all the food from my plate, I am not productive.

[@farahl-f1468]

I needed to hear this today. I’m so stuck in an unhealthy vicious cycle. Thanks Jillian for getting me “unstuck” with your common sense and yes even hard to hear but totally true advice.

Man's Search for Meaning by V. E. Frankl was a really great book to read as a young girl. Thank you for reminding me of my youth!

[@jmaurer7723]

Thank you Jillian for being honest. You are the person who has actually encouraged me most in my weight loss journey! Your straightforward, no BS, just the facts attitude along with scientifically supported approach to weight loss is what makes you my “go to” person for diet and fitness advice. I literally curse you under my breath every time I do your workouts (LOL) but I could not be more grateful! I have 15 pounds left to lose. The internal work I have done has been the most impactful for losing weight- hands down! It was NOT easy and in no way fun! It has taken YEARS to get to the point where I can say “I’m all in,” but I arrived. While everyone else hates 2020 (which I totally get) it has been a year of positive transformation for me. Keep telling it like it is and yes, please write a book! It will no doubt help countless others.

[@julier8244]

I wasn't always in a place to hear this. But I need to hear it. And I'll keep coming back to this video as I need to! Thanks, Jillian!

[@miznikki2u]

Love how real you are!! At some point you just have to stop making excuses for the way that you are and decide that you want better for yourself.

[@snuggisthecute]

[@Nonexistent12345]

I love that Jillian isn’t afraid to say what everyone is already thinking…. It should be common sense to know that health at every size is bs

[@leisha4cycling353]

I completely agree Jillian! You are the bomb! I am a fitness trainer as well, & I am about your age (mid 40's)The way you communicate this and your reasoning behind this huge major issue is on point! We as humans don't dig deep into issues. There is so much of many people being fake and shallow with others, society, and ourselves. Its very sad.

[@sarahwieland3243]

I think this has been the core of my problem for at least 10 years now! I have been in such a cocoon eating and hiding from myself and from things that have hurt me and made me feel “less than”. Instead of taking ownership I kid myself I could “take charge” anytime I felt like it. Now, fast forward, I am 58 lbs over weight and barely have the energy for the 4 year old grandson I now find myself in full custody of! My weight loss has been very slow and painful. I am working my ass off every day and I switched to a vegan lifestyle. Every pound I lose I swear I never wanna see or feel again! Not only because it hurts and cost me so much effort to lose it, but also for my grandson deserves better! My grandson deserves my very best! Each day has been a struggle, but u know what, with each day it’s getting a little bit easier and my state of mind is changing. I completely agree, losing weight and keeping it off begins in our mind. You can do it and it feels amazing! Before I hated the pain of all the work, now I welcome it! Thk u Jillian this one was powerful ❤

[@mirteshappy1]

The most honest explanation I have heard. I have 40 pounds to go. Hated every diet I tried, for different reasons, except calorie restriction with high nutrient foods. Not easy, but better than eating plates full of lard and seeing my hair falling off and my face as greasy as a dirty frying pan. More veggies, less meats, less sugars, less wheat!

[@sandramorris407]

Love how straight you are with all of us. This really helped me understand why I started this journey. Hope you really do write a book on this. LOVED IT

[@carastone3473]

I would totally go for my run then have a couple pieces pizza while watching a movie! I love running and working out AND I love pizza. 🤣 It’s about balance and making good choices, like you said! Put some veggies on that pizza! Cauliflower crust is pretty good too. I’m a trainer, Jill, and you’ve been like a long-distance mentor to me since I first bought 30-Day Shred and lost 40 lbs. I became a trainer in 2012 after reading your book ‘Unlimited,’ which made me realize that I could earn a living following my fitness passion! Thank you! Keep putting out the common sense info! 😁👍

[@ingenueblue8914]

I am taking the very very slow approach. I try to eat healthy and keep it 1200 to 1500 calories and 30 minutes to 70 minutes of exercise 4 to 6 days a week. I haven't lost a lot of weight...but i look more toned and cellulite seems a bit reduced. I may go harder for 1 week with a much stricter diet. But, i don't feel starved and Inam looking better.

[@DuneTheDog]

Oh. My. Word. Why hasn’t this video gone viral?? So good.

[@MarthaSanchezDVVD]

OMG Jillian this video is sooooooo empowering, motivational and down to earth. I’ve been listening your podcasts / watching your videos for years now and this video here is by far one of the most moving, deep , meaningful talks that I’ve ever heard from you. Please keep speaking your mind, even if it’s not mainstream, even if it’s not what seems to be in or cool or celebrated right now. Because by doing so, yo do make a difference between some of us who really want to do things differently, and heal from a much deeper pain related to depravation issues that we’ve been dragging. Today was one of those days where I was questioning if all of the effort related to keeping my self healthy was even worth it, because at times it is soooo hard ; and then I came across this video which COMPLETELY change my attitude and disposition towards why I decided to permanently and consistently eat healthy and work out , and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

[@indyd9322]

100% agree. I understand why some people are pissed off at diet culture, though. Many people go on some diet, lose weight, and then some time later regain the weight AND THEN SOME. They end up fatter than when they started. Which makes you wonder if dieting somehow creates changes in the body and that later on has a compensatory effect?? What do you think?

[@hay.reneeyay]

Thank you so much for this video. I have experienced eating disorders off and on and within the last 2 years, i have gained almost 80-100 pounds over my healthy weight. In the last year i have tried off and on and to lose that. I lost 40 pounds and i am very proud of that but i have also gone back and forth with even some of those pounds lost. As a child i experienced a lot of trauma and violence that i wont go into detail here butttttt, I've had major anxiety/depression because of it. Now as an adult, it is really affecting me as well as even keeping my job! I am in the process of starting counseling again, buttttt this video is definitely what i needed to hear because it is reassuring me to the fullest why the diets i've attempted haven't worked out. There's so much more going on with me that i need help from a therapist to tackle the real issue here.

[@ashleydake2881]

How did u do it besides seeing a therapist

This video is so real. I lost my 18 year old son 11 years ago.and I have gained 50 pounds. I will lose down to 117 my normal weight than I will go in to deep depression and not get out of the house for weeks at a time. I can't face the pain. But I have a why.i have a wonderful grandson that I love so much and an older son that is my life.so you explained it so well that it hit me like a brick.thank you so much.I know I will be with my baby boy in Heaven one day..💔

[@obsidianbutterfly2099]

This was so needed and really is true losing and gaining is a choice. I lost 35 lbs in two year with no trainer as a gift to myself for my 30th bday after I had spent the last few years of my twenties pretending I was still 19 years old. I had to face I needed to make a complete lifestyle change and that my body was gettin older, it couldn't sustain my old habits and look 19 anymore.

[@EllenDScott]

BRAVO! Extremely and responsibly well done! As a former Group Fitness Instructor and always a Psych head I don't think I've heard it said better, or with more empathy. Wow u read Nietzsche? Ok I AM impressed. Yes, tip toeing around triggers zaps energy, and pisses off friends/family/co-workers. Too bad tip toeing doesn't burn mega calories, it feels like it should! The pain at the root of triggers is a total S O B to deal with, and it seems to take forEVER. Sometimes one doesn't even feel the progress they are making, even though they are moving forward. Thank you so much for the intellect, the stand against "New norms" and thanks for the inspiration.

[@woman2251]

On piont. I am 25 now and it took me 7 years to understand all of that and I did it by myself and I'm still working on myself every single day for the rest of my life. Conclusion: it's never about the food itself it's not even about the weight itself. It's only about the person and what is going on inside. And it takes so long to understand that and actually doing something about it it's a hell of working on your mind. I used to go back and fourth so many times I felt guilty for taking care of myself, when I just started it felt even weird to actually put my health first.. You are in a family dinner or a restaurant and everyone basically forcing you to eat something you know isn't good for you (but everyone else eating it so why won't you, right?) and you will feel bad after eating it.. and you feel like if you gonna say NO it will create this gap between you and them and they will get offended and then you feel bad for it and you want to fill this gap so you eat and then you feel bad for eating something which isn't good for you and you also maybe didn't even want to eat.. and yet you haven't filled that gap because.. well.. the food has nothing to do with it anymore.. because youv'e made a progress and your mind has changed..

I have question? Yes I was one who did Keto for a while and in fact lost over 100 pounds, I did feel after sometime it was not sustainable but that is how I felt.. it works longterm for many and I do not knock, it in fact it did help me loose a lot of weight ... I did maintain my weight loss for over a year with regular exercise, and a normal diet and when I mean diet ,still counting calories, but with moderate carbs .. well with quarantine, I did gain weight. back about 10 pounds, I started noticing a change in my body this is still with regular exercise, weight training , mixed with cardio but mostly weight training , and counting calories ... my job is mostly sedentary, and now I work from home.. but I still work out at least 5 days a week for 1-1.5 hrs eating anywhere from 1400-1600 calories according to my TDEE... and I have been unable to lose the weight I have gained back in fact it just slowly keeps creeping up...and i teeter on that 5 pounds back and fourth over and over again... I have worked way too hard to find myself back at square one but I believe its just me truly not eating right for my body , or understanding how much to eat my BMR is 1350 according to my last scan at the gym.. I am just kind of lost right now.

Hi Jillian I have a question. How can I lose weight and still enjoy the foods I love? Being Indian, we have rice n naan as part of our plates of our meals. At home we usually cook the veggies n meats with little oil compared to the restaurants. I also enjoy eating pizza as well. My biggest addiction is soda and I want to either reduce or eliminate it. I definitely need your help n advice and don’t want to do those crash diets. What do you recommend is the best way for me to lose weight without doing any of those crash diets

[@darnitthelma4247]

Choose rice (boiled preferably) rather than naan, drink pint of water before mea, drink peppermint tea after meal Pizza....lots of veggie toppings Soda....limit to 2 cans a day then to 1 can then to a substitute such water with fruits to flavour it up or a pure orange juice not from Concentrate for the sweetness but you’ll also get vitamin C I’m no Jillian but little tweaks will help x

Hi Jillian, this video really strikes a chord with me. I started getting fit and eating better four years ago when I found you and your fitness programs. I've never been overweight, but I surely would be by now if I hadn't taken this step. It's improved my overall health and quality of life by more than words can express. Yet, to this day, I struggle with the yo-yo-effect and phases of overeating where I regain the pounds I'm so desperatly trying to keep off. Rather than working on the trigger (for me it's loneliness), I've put all my energy into improving my self-discipline when it comes to eating and stopping to eat. I now realize that this weight cycle will go on forever unless I seriously start dealing with the feelings I'm trying to suppress with food. I guess subconsciously I've known it all along, but this video has really pushed me over the edge. Thank you, Jillian. Please keep these videos coming. They really do have an impact on people's lives.

Question - What about people who are overweight/obese because of actual health conditions (like hypothyroidism or PCOS)? I'm not overweight, or have any health conditions that can cause it, and generally tend to be petite. I work out too using your app and am a huge fan. But, my cousins are overweight. They have hypothyroidism, plus they are genetically predisposed to being heavier. Their diet is quite restrictive too because of their health. So I'm inclined to thinking that not all obesity may be due to overeating or other bad eating habits. Related topic - I recently watched a video on what plus-size people think. In that, the participants expressed that people judge them thinking that being overweight is a choice, when it's not. Thoughts?

[@D.a.n.a.]

Calories in calories out. You don't become obese by not overeating consistently. No matter your genetics, metabolism or whatnot lol

Yes it is a lot harder to lose weight with hypothyroidism.....I have a friend with hypo and I had hyper so weight fell off (I felt just as upset as the skinny look is not nice & my organs were dangerously affected) Still calories in but burn more of helps Seek advice for this as thyroid affects organs etc too

Oh god, I hated myself so much and was ashamed to go outside. And I ate and ate staying at home alone. Now I try to live with that, to live life enjoying it. A defense mechanism? At least, my weight does not fluctuate as much as it used to, my food breakdowns are not as bad as they used to be. I'm so scared, and I need badly to talk about it, but I can't. I have great parents and loyal and loving friends, still I don't open to them. They just wouldn't understand. How would they help??

Thank you. Your honesty is refreshing. Everyone is so politically correct these days. Being overweight is unhealthy, period. COVID opened my eyes to it. 11 pounds down!

You are real , and give great advise, thank you!

But why the rapid change in body composition over the past 30-40 years? Nothing to do with food choices/supply changing to more calorie dense foods?

Hello, I dont know if you covered this but what advice or suggestions would you recommend for someone planning on starting a weightloss journey before they actually start so that it is more of a possibility for a long term success. Thanks.
