OMG Thanks!! I' started doing that consistently, just about a month ago, then had to buy a new business suit, and bought my normal size, but the lady said the jacket was sizing bigger, so I got a smaller size for the whole thing, and the pants were bigger, in the smaller size! Thanks your accomplishment is amazing and inspiring at the same time!!! Kudos to you!!! and good luck to me! Julian has always made the most sense to tme, it took me doing keto, losing 25 AND GAINING BACK 35 TO SEE THE LIGHT... SMH ...
Same here, I'm down 28 lbs with minimal exercise. I try to aim for around 1500 a day but I have cheat days where I go over by 500 to 1000 every now and then (it's good to treat yourself sometimes) I really recommend calorie counting using my fitness pal, it takes a little while to get used to but you'll find yourself quickly dropping down clothe sizes and become more knowledgeable about managing calories and what foods you should eat each day. The best part about calorie counting to me is that even if I have a bad day and have some cake or something, I'm usually still at a deficiet since my cap is 1500 and I burn around 2500 on average each day. It's nice knowing that even if you mess up its not a huge deal and you can just get back on track the next day :) wishing you all the best of luck!!
After 22 years of trying to lose weight, this 12 minute video has just completely been a lightbulb 💡 moment. When put into these simple terms, it makes so much sense
I watch a SHIT TON of videos about weight loss, and I’m so freaking happy to get back to basics with this video. Hallelujah, calories in, calories out.
This explains a lot. Makes sense why I was never losing weight before. I’m doing it the right way now though. Consistency with healthy foods and pushing myself in workouts!
iamtherealgabby congratulations girl ! How’s it going so far? I’ve been seriously calorie counting and working out for two weeks now and so far I dropped 8lbs. If you are documenting your story I’d really love to watch!

Hi Jillian, I have been working with a trainer and am down 56 since July 2, 2021, total loss of 103.4 since Nov 2019. I am one of those on the 1200 calorie a day diet, eating 90g of carbs and losing significantly. No weight loss surgery either. Counting calories and working out is the only way to get it done! 😊 I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in May 2021 with an A1c of 10.2. With change of diet and exercise I was down to an A1c of 5.1 in Aug 2021. To those out there, it can be done, don’t give up hope.
People are looking for a magic diet when it all boils down to common sense and consistency. Glad to hear truth without a back handed way of trying to sell me something. Thank you.
Thank you! I'm 43 and always had issues as a child and teen... I've always gotten back on track with simple calorie counting...and exercise. Exercise..moving...walking.. it's a privilege.
35 pounds in 2 months is actually extremely frightening. Most health specialists I've met recommend 2 pounds per week but you're losing a little under 4.5 and that raises some hardcore health flags for yourself that could damage your body.
@@XTheCrystalBeastGuyX It didn't feel frightening. I didn't starve myself or did any strenuous workout.I didn't have any particular weight loss goal to begin with. I simply switched from calorie dense foods to low calorie density foods such as vegetables, salads, boiled beans, egg white, yogurt etc. As the days went by, weight loss was natural and I felt more energy as I lost weight. So, I started walking/jogging. Also, I cut down on car use as much as was possible and walked instead.

This is the best weight loss video I have ever seen. It explains my struggles perfectly. It also explains that counting calories works. Thank you Jillian!
Calories in, calories out...I took your words to heart and it does work. No crazy diet, just simple exercise and eating healthy. 10 years ago I was overweight and diagnosed w Type 2 diabetes. I started with your Body Revolution work out (now I use your awesome app!) and started counting calories and throwing out all the junk food. I’m proud to be diabetes free without ever taking any medication. I’ve kept my weight down for 9 years and going strong at 55 years old. I simple listened to what you said...I eat clean and stick to my mantra...calories in, calories out. Thank you, Jillian!
This is the perfect realistic video. Counting calories and training is the only way. When you understand this, so well explained btw (I love the way you are down to earth with advising the viewers, this is logic). Miracles don’t happen over night, it takes discipline, determination and hard work! Thank you Jillian. You are the best my lady!
I've been doing calorie counting for years since I was pregnant with my 1st child. Totally agree with JM. It's better than any restrictive diets that just 99.9% break. I love her hair color and cut. Beautiful.

I’m doing keto and calorie counting, I’m losing and my doctor suggested it to help with my seizures. I mean, keto isn’t all bad, but like my doctor said, keto isn’t just bacon and eggs, which I think a lot people think. It’s a lot of fresh veggies, healthy fats and a moderate amount of protein.
Ginger Elise yess! I am doing the same thing! I gained 40lbs because my thyroid gave out. And I had a major depressive episode because of it, where I started binging and stopped moving. Now my dr and nutritionalist have me on keto and calories counting. (And I started Synthroid) I hardly ever eat bacon lol, I have tons of green veggies! I love them!! Keto has taught me to get creative with my cooking and discover new veggies that I never would have though to eat! Like zucchini noodles! 🤤🤤
@@spiritualanarchy Keto does help with seizures. I work in care . However, I would suggest that one should eat good quality food(pasure raised meat, eggs, raw cheese, wild fish), organic veg and some fruit, filter your water. Also, clean up your home removing all chemicals, body cleaning products, etc,.. Best Wishes.
I’ve seen MANY ways of explaining a caloric deficit, but this is hands down the best way I’ve ever seen. Explained so simply. Weight loss really is just math!!! Thank you.
I'm doing a 1300 calorie diet and exercising 5-6 days a week and I've loss 13 pounds in my first month. I should be at my goal weight by this summer! The first weeks are the hardest, but eventually you don't feel so hungry and you aren't craving things as much and you just have a new routine.
Just stick with it and it will get easier. Logging gets super easy after a few weeks because you will come to realize you eat many of the same foods every day. You can just pull up your food history and log it again. You got this!
Changed my life ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxIUm04tAgSzlAhCWEr7VlRptRAMVsjeAC I will never eat the same ever again. "Unless you physically trip and your face lands in a box of donuts, there is no such thing as a 'slip'." Get that mind set and you'll win again and again.
my BMR is about 1,500 and I cut down to no more than 900 calories per day on a day with NO physical activity. I always try to stay in a deficit of at least 750 per day which is achievable with movement that's EASILY incorporated into my day. Just by walking more and light cardio with a calorie deficit, I've lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks! I'm telling you guys this method works miracles.
Cindy D. That’s the way it is with every diet and everytime someone looses weight but I have inspiration and determination to not fall off the bandwagon
Wow, I'm really loving this video. Clear, concise, to the point, no dancing around the subject. I've always been someone who has really struggled to lose any weight without serious exercise. I've recently gone on a health kick though and have really cleaned up WHAT I'm eating, not just how much, but this video really speaks to me and explains a lot. Kudos!
The most miserable years of my life were eating high carb low fat. I switched to a low carb diet and I can lose weight and feel satisfied.. finally I figured out the key that was missing all these years.
To me this is the key/secret: finding what works for you. I'm the opposite: I run about 50% Carbs and 25/25 fat/protein and feel great this way. If my carbs get too low I feel awful, hungry, depleted, etc...Find your Maintenance, find your rations, stick to it!
@@scottmitchell1974 yes..I do agree with you. I do believe there are various ways humans excel but that isn't what is taught. We are taught to follow the food pyramid, even though many of us are fat and unhappy on it. But people refuse to believe it could be different.
Scott D, The key is staying on the plan long enough to find out whether it works for you. If it works you must stay on it for the rest of your life, more or less. The mistake people make is to use the diet as a temporary remedy and go back to eating badly when the weight is lost. That is yoyo dieting resulting in a messed up metabolism.
Thanks so much Jillian for this valuable advice! I was counting calories but not burning enough and was starting to get frustrated, now I am starting to walk 10,000 steps per day and hope that helps me a bit! Not giving up, will up the exercise and continue to count my calories.
I followed your advice. Just ate smart and moved a lot more. I started to think differently about food as a energy source for my work outs. Simple advice and I lost 20 lbs in 2 months.
Ive been counting calories and staying in a calorie deficient for 6 days now and Ive lost 6 lbs.... I have no restrcited myself I eat the most healthy I can but if I want a slice of pizza or soemthing I have it I just make sure to portion control and that it will fit within my daily calories. Pretty easy and its working great
You make perfect sense and you are so right about energy. This is the first time I hear someone use the word 'thermodynamics' in relation to weight loss. Congrats! You nailed it. I never hear the 'keto docs' explain this the way you do. Maybe it is not simple enough for those guys. I lost over 35 pounds in 8 months by eating 50% less calories. I eat anything, including carbs, but in reasonable quantities and it works. No refined sugars, no soda's, and absolutely no alcohol.
Calories in, calories out. Simple. I started doing that but then noticed I went back to the overeating habit. Thanks for keeping me in check. Love you Jillian!!
Thank you sooo much for this. I have been watching every single calorie I consume and I'm working out almost daily but have only lost a few pounds over the past 2 months. Now I know why. I am going to look at the numbers and see where I can cut back a little on the food and also add a little more time to my workouts. Seriously this was exactly what I needed to watch, I was really feeling discouraged. Thank you 🙂
It’s true. For the longest time I was cutting everything out on my diet, I’d lose the weight but I’d gain back when I cheated. And I would do whatever fad diet I could to avoid exercising, but Exercise was the key for me to lose weight.
The problem it is very hard to constantly count calories and weigh and measure your food. Very few people can do this for their entire lives. If you eat foods that are not calorie dense, 500 calorie per pound or less, you can eat until comfortably full, without over eating calories. This means fill your plate with unprocessed green and yellow vegetables, starchy vegetables (potatoes, quinoa, rice), and fruit. The unprocessed fibre and water in these foods are what make you feel full without having to count calories, and you won't exceed your calorie requirement for the day.
Jillian, this explanation in "Lemans terms" is soo good, very easy to understand and to apply in my daily routine. I calculated mine and I am excited to start a new focused on these hints and balanced nutrition without damaging my body. I am pumped! Thanks for sharing you knowledge " and for reinforcing the simple biology and anatomy class at college back in 1995..."calories in calories out". You are my superwoman! Huggies, Yana
I formulated a diet keeping in mind all the information you gave and I have lost a lot of weight. Like I check the scale only twice a month, i.e. one in the beginning and one at the end of the month. I prefer seeing visible difference like my face looks thinner, my double chin becomes less, my shoulders feel tighter, my skin shows improvement, etc...its better to look at the visible result but obviously checking the scale does give motivation to carry on 😌
😕 I’m 45 and run like crazy and lift a little and I’m stuck. I haven’t lost weight in over 2 years. It’s been so disheartening. I have always been fairly fit but Something just stopped.😫 I knew it!! It’s the flipping Calories!!! Keep it simple! Got it. GOD bless this women. I know what I need to do! 😭😭😭
Jillian, this makes total sense! I was on a 1200 calorie diet and I couldn’t take it. Now I’m going to incorporate exercise while SLIGHTLY reducing my calories. Thank you !!!!!
Dear Jillian Michaels, Thanks for sharing my (beside exercise) "not secret" as to why people ask me how I do it at 58 years old. 💪 So every now & then I'll grow beard shadow so those ppl can see that I really am an older Man. #AppreciateYaJillianMichaels
Stephanie, try Keto with intermittent fasting and see if that helps. If something doesn't work it may be time to change it. You probably have insulin resistance.
Thank you, I have since started 16.8 on a low carb diet, not keto. Seems to be working so far for me, but only taking slowly with no pressure on myself to have a dramatic weight loss quick.
Stephanie 5 sounds good! Pressure is not necessary :) you sound like you are on a good path. With all my clients i find consistency is key. Rather take 6 months to achieve your goals, than do well for 2 and then give up, right!? Good luck
I'm grateful she discussed the down side of ketosis. No one tells you what it does to your body over time. I have found using an app and being honest about what you consume shifts your mindset. Good luck all!!
@@ziyadmumu3069 Who are you trying to convince? It's not working for me. At this point, this is an agree to disagree with what she said and I'm cosigning with her. End of this exchange.
Thank you for talking about the Keto thing..I talk to my kids and friends about it until I'm blue in the face and they think I'm just an old dummy...it's NOT common sense, eat healthy and exercise...it keeps you healthy physically and mentally ...you're awesome and it shows!
Im a guy and it really feels hard to scale weight loss for a long time because our water weight and poop are inconsistent, so it can be discouraging lmao. Im like 5'11 and 165
I follow the clean keto diet and I've had success. I know that you dont really approve of keto, but counting calories and eating clean is the true golden ticket. Love the video!
Since March 4th 2020 I've been eating between 1;500 hundred 1;800 calories a day started out 5 min exercise a day I was that out of shape now I can do 20 to 25 min a day I've lost 22 pds so far I'm very motivated I also eat try healthy gave up a 2litervmountain dew habit and drink black coffee it's my vice I !Ike watching your videos they motivate me thank you!
I wish if I knew you earlier Jilian. I had a keto diet with intermittent fasting for a whole year and it affected my health really bad. Now I counting calories and eating balanced diet healthy carbs of veggies and grains.
Madeline Neff just by looking at your profile picture you look like a young woman, if you gain weight by eating 1400 calories then simply put you are not burning enough calories, whether you have a slow metabolism naturally or not, I do think this is something you should ask your doctor about. 1400 calories is like cutting for many people. No way should you be gaining weight.
Maddie Frank I actually just talked about this to my dad who’s in the medical field and he agrees... I workout with a trainer 4x a week and I think I’ve messed up my metabolism from a combo of different things and I wasn’t tracking my calories properly. So all in all what you say is true, I just need to start using MyFitnessPal😂 thank you for the insight and if my dad has not have told me first, your comment would’ve had me thinking
So glad you are on the fruit train! I have heard so many things saying to cut out the fruits that are "too high" in sugar and it never really made sense to me. Love these videos and I trust your advice!
I was literally looking up a video like this two days ago ! Thank you! Totally makes sense now !!! Im always like why the heck don’t I lose weight ! I’m moving more but I wasn’t calorie counting
CICO absolutely works! I’m 58 and post menopausal and using CICO and MyFitnessPal, and an hour of gentle cardio each day I’ve painlessly taken off 10 pounds in a month. The long term benefit of using CICO is retraining yourself what and how much to eat. Just had knee replacement so I’m still eating my 4 300 calorie meals and a snack, and don’t expect to lose anything while I recover, but as soon as I can do weights and cardio again I’m all in! I feel like Dorothy when the good witch told her she had the ability to go home all along!13 pounds down...27 more to go!
👏👏👏👏 perfect, short, and 100% true video about weight loss!!! And thank you talking about the keto diet. So many people don't understand the ramifications of that diet!!
I was all for keto because I lost so much weight fast but I felt like shit during the process and after a month my hair started falling out! I have stopped the keto diet for a little over a year now and my hair is still falling out but a lot less... Thank you for the honest video
I have tried low carb diets in the past and what happens with me is I get insomnia and depression yes I lost weight but it was not worth it. I now basically eat healthy fruits and veges good protein complex carbs in moderation I exercise and started weight training and feel great I count calories and is working it is a lifestyle I can sustain.
I had a cardiologist told me to pig out on all the greens and limit my meat 3 ounces a day which I dropped alot of weight but still takes a long ass time for me to drop weight and I ride a bike 6 days a week, run twice a week, lift weights high reps and I do yoga with calthenstics still I'm having a rough time dropping weight fast but then again I keep getting told I'm obsessing to much to drop weight
You may want to try some 24hr-5day water fasts once a month to help you reach your goals quicker, if you have a heart condition shorter water fast would have less impact on your electrolytes. Talk to your Dr. Next visit and see if that would help you. There was recently a article in the New England journal of medicine requarding the benifits of calorie restriction via fasting and the therapeutic value. Good luck on your journey.
el pocho Dan try upping the many days you lift weights. Strength training will help you more to burn fat. Also, HIIT exercises work wonderfully too. Good luck!
@@Eva-wg3tz that's the thing I dont go heavy weights I am doing light weights but high reps. I used to do strongman and powerlifting back in my 20s. I just want to become a ultra endurance athlete I know it takes time but the losing weight part is the bitch

Counting calories does work. Then on top of that you gotta make a life style change in what and how much we eat

Ginger Elise I’m on keto and never eat bacon. People don’t realize keto can be done using different protocols.
My sons pediatrician recommended keto for his seizures also! Good luck to you with everything ♥️
@@spiritualanarchy Keto does help with seizures. I work in care . However, I would suggest that one should eat good quality food(pasure raised meat, eggs, raw cheese, wild fish), organic veg and some fruit, filter your water. Also, clean up your home removing all chemicals, body cleaning products, etc,.. Best Wishes.
Perfect explanation. I pray people watch this and learn from it!! So many people quit too fast or try to starve themselves.
Im counting calories and now finally starting to lose weight, it's suprising how easy you can over eat, great content

I’ve seen MANY ways of explaining a caloric deficit, but this is hands down the best way I’ve ever seen. Explained so simply. Weight loss really is just math!!! Thank you.
"SHE FLIPS"....LOL that's me
Bmo Cool same 😫😫😫😂😂
Bmo Cool SAME
LOL! ME!
Right? 😂
I'm doing a 1300 calorie diet and exercising 5-6 days a week and I've loss 13 pounds in my first month. I should be at my goal weight by this summer! The first weeks are the hardest, but eventually you don't feel so hungry and you aren't craving things as much and you just have a new routine.
Factssss I've started a 4 days ago and i have lost 1lb a day so I went from 183 to 179 and not exercising
@@nursealexander4697 Keep it up! I did get to my goal weight by July last year, I lost 50 lbs and have kept it off! You got this!
Oookay makes sense, I'm going to try my calorie counting app again with more activity. Thanks Jillian
Just stick with it and it will get easier. Logging gets super easy after a few weeks because you will come to realize you eat many of the same foods every day. You can just pull up your food history and log it again. You got this!
Liv Ann Try dancing for just 30mins it honestly is so much fun and gets your heart going!
I just go walking and use my app on my phone to track how many calories I burn. I count calories as well
Changed my life ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxIUm04tAgSzlAhCWEr7VlRptRAMVsjeAC I will never eat the same ever again. "Unless you physically trip and your face lands in a box of donuts, there is no such thing as a 'slip'." Get that mind set and you'll win again and again.
my BMR is about 1,500 and I cut down to no more than 900 calories per day on a day with NO physical activity. I always try to stay in a deficit of at least 750 per day which is achievable with movement that's EASILY incorporated into my day. Just by walking more and light cardio with a calorie deficit, I've lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks! I'm telling you guys this method works miracles.
She is THE BEST at explaining this,I seriously understand now.
I’m doing keto and have been counting my calories and I’ve lost 20lbs in a month and a half now 🥺✋
yes u lose weight but possibly at the cost of your organs.
watch what happens when you stop it is not sustainable I have seen it over and over with people they stop put the weight back on plus.
Cindy D. That’s the way it is with every diet and everytime someone looses weight but I have inspiration and determination to not fall off the bandwagon
@@literaryvaleria good for you I hope for the best results for you.
Cindy D. Thank you so much love
Wow, I'm really loving this video. Clear, concise, to the point, no dancing around the subject. I've always been someone who has really struggled to lose any weight without serious exercise. I've recently gone on a health kick though and have really cleaned up WHAT I'm eating, not just how much, but this video really speaks to me and explains a lot. Kudos!
I’m starting to get a crush on this woman
No shit
Ye
Too sad she's lesbian :(
@@JohnDoe-fm6md begone sinner😂😂 yeah she was in a relationship with Heidi Rhoades (not so hot though)
Charbel Younes I just looked her up and she’s good looking in my opinion
I freaking love you!! I love how direct and matter of fact this is..no blah blah blah for like 20 min then get to the point. So real.
The most miserable years of my life were eating high carb low fat. I switched to a low carb diet and I can lose weight and feel satisfied.. finally I figured out the key that was missing all these years.
Lady Luck Fat for fuel 🤓🥩💪
I wish that I had discovered keto years ago. Works well for me.
To me this is the key/secret: finding what works for you. I'm the opposite: I run about 50% Carbs and 25/25 fat/protein and feel great this way. If my carbs get too low I feel awful, hungry, depleted, etc...Find your Maintenance, find your rations, stick to it!
@@scottmitchell1974 yes..I do agree with you. I do believe there are various ways humans excel but that isn't what is taught. We are taught to follow the food pyramid, even though many of us are fat and unhappy on it. But people refuse to believe it could be different.
Scott D, The key is staying on the plan long enough to find out whether it works for you. If it works you must stay on it for the rest of your life, more or less. The mistake people make is to use the diet as a temporary remedy and go back to eating badly when the weight is lost. That is yoyo dieting resulting in a messed up metabolism.
I’m so happy I found you, you just restored my faith in losing weight. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🥺
I love you Jillian Michaels!!! Your videos has taught me a lot. Keep it up.
Ive been watching this video EVERYDAY! It keeps my mindset right. Thank you Jillian🙏😘❤️
Thanks so much Jillian for this valuable advice! I was counting calories but not burning enough and was starting to get frustrated, now I am starting to walk 10,000 steps per day and hope that helps me a bit! Not giving up, will up the exercise and continue to count my calories.
This has taught me to be patient and consistent. Thank you so much
Just realized I watched this last week. Probably will have to watch it weekly.
A spec of dust 😂😂
I followed your advice. Just ate smart and moved a lot more. I started to think differently about food as a energy source for my work outs. Simple advice and I lost 20 lbs in 2 months.
Ive been counting calories and staying in a calorie deficient for 6 days now and Ive lost 6 lbs.... I have no restrcited myself I eat the most healthy I can but if I want a slice of pizza or soemthing I have it I just make sure to portion control and that it will fit within my daily calories. Pretty easy and its working great
What are your daily calories?!
You make perfect sense and you are so right about energy. This is the first time I hear someone use the word 'thermodynamics' in relation to weight loss. Congrats! You nailed it. I never hear the 'keto docs' explain this the way you do. Maybe it is not simple enough for those guys. I lost over 35 pounds in 8 months by eating 50% less calories. I eat anything, including carbs, but in reasonable quantities and it works. No refined sugars, no soda's, and absolutely no alcohol.
Calories in, calories out. Simple. I started doing that but then noticed I went back to the overeating habit. Thanks for keeping me in check. Love you Jillian!!
Man oh man you are absolutely stunning! I can’t even! Thank you for this simple fact we look over while dieting makes so much sense
I felt like you explained this like I’ve never heard it before so helpful!
Thank you sooo much for this. I have been watching every single calorie I consume and I'm working out almost daily but have only lost a few pounds over the past 2 months. Now I know why. I am going to look at the numbers and see where I can cut back a little on the food and also add a little more time to my workouts. Seriously this was exactly what I needed to watch, I was really feeling discouraged. Thank you 🙂
It’s true. For the longest time I was cutting everything out on my diet, I’d lose the weight but I’d gain back when I cheated. And I would do whatever fad diet I could to avoid exercising, but Exercise was the key for me to lose weight.
Love how she explain how our body works! Makes sense!! she should be a exercise science professor I wouldn’t of missed 1 day of class!!!!
technically you can do it without more exercise it will just take looooonger
The problem it is very hard to constantly count calories and weigh and measure your food. Very few people can do this for their entire lives. If you eat foods that are not calorie dense, 500 calorie per pound or less, you can eat until comfortably full, without over eating calories. This means fill your plate with unprocessed green and yellow vegetables, starchy vegetables (potatoes, quinoa, rice), and fruit. The unprocessed fibre and water in these foods are what make you feel full without having to count calories, and you won't exceed your calorie requirement for the day.
Jillian, this explanation in "Lemans terms" is soo good, very easy to understand and to apply in my daily routine. I calculated mine and I am excited to start a new focused on these hints and balanced nutrition without damaging my body. I am pumped! Thanks for sharing you knowledge " and for reinforcing the simple biology and anatomy class at college back in 1995..."calories in calories out". You are my superwoman! Huggies, Yana
*Layman's terms
She explained better than any doctor and it helps me cause that was me struggling with checking my weight. Thanks
I formulated a diet keeping in mind all the information you gave and I have lost a lot of weight. Like I check the scale only twice a month, i.e. one in the beginning and one at the end of the month. I prefer seeing visible difference like my face looks thinner, my double chin becomes less, my shoulders feel tighter, my skin shows improvement, etc...its better to look at the visible result but obviously checking the scale does give motivation to carry on 😌
Calorie counting is extremely helpful!! Thank you for this!
😕 I’m 45 and run like crazy and lift a little and I’m stuck. I haven’t lost weight in over 2 years. It’s been so disheartening. I have always been fairly fit but Something just stopped.😫 I knew it!! It’s the flipping Calories!!! Keep it simple! Got it. GOD bless this women. I know what I need to do! 😭😭😭
Jillian, this makes total sense! I was on a 1200 calorie diet and I couldn’t take it. Now I’m going to incorporate exercise while SLIGHTLY reducing my calories. Thank you !!!!!
Dear Jillian Michaels, Thanks for sharing my (beside exercise) "not secret" as to why people ask me how I do it at 58 years old. 💪 So every now & then I'll grow beard shadow so those ppl can see that I really am an older Man. #AppreciateYaJillianMichaels
Great explanantion. I've counted calories my entire life and struggled, this now make so much sense and motivate me.
Stephanie, try Keto with intermittent fasting and see if that helps. If something doesn't work it may be time to change it. You probably have insulin resistance.
Stephanie 5 try alternate day fasting!
Thank you, I have since started 16.8 on a low carb diet, not keto. Seems to be working so far for me, but only taking slowly with no pressure on myself to have a dramatic weight loss quick.
Stephanie 5 sounds good! Pressure is not necessary :) you sound like you are on a good path. With all my clients i find consistency is key. Rather take 6 months to achieve your goals, than do well for 2 and then give up, right!? Good luck
I'm grateful she discussed the down side of ketosis. No one tells you what it does to your body over time. I have found using an app and being honest about what you consume shifts your mindset. Good luck all!!
there is no down side of ketosis.
@@ziyadmumu3069 Yes, there is. Your body should not stay in ketosis.
@@Erica-ec9jt No there isn't. Saying that it should not does not make it so.
@@ziyadmumu3069 Who are you trying to convince? It's not working for me. At this point, this is an agree to disagree with what she said and I'm cosigning with her. End of this exchange.
This is the best explanation I have ever seen. Thank you! I finally get where I have been going wrong.
You are literally what I strive to look like physically. Thanks for simplifying this.
Thank you Jillian, that was incredible informative !!
Thank you for talking about the Keto thing..I talk to my kids and friends about it until I'm blue in the face and they think I'm just an old dummy...it's NOT common sense, eat healthy and exercise...it keeps you healthy physically and mentally ...you're awesome and it shows!
You're hair looks so nice 😍 You're the bomb, thank you ☺
You are explaining in a way that anyone can understand. Granted it's not rocket science but thanks so much!
Im a guy and it really feels hard to scale weight loss for a long time because our water weight and poop are inconsistent, so it can be discouraging lmao. Im like 5'11 and 165
I follow the clean keto diet and I've had success. I know that you dont really approve of keto, but counting calories and eating clean is the true golden ticket. Love the video!
Makes perfect sense, I just needed to hear it. Thanks!
Since March 4th 2020 I've been eating between 1;500 hundred 1;800 calories a day started out 5 min exercise a day I was that out of shape now I can do 20 to 25 min a day I've lost 22 pds so far I'm very motivated I also eat try healthy gave up a 2litervmountain dew habit and drink black coffee it's my vice I !Ike watching your videos they motivate me thank you!
It's all about calories in vs calories out!
I wish if I knew you earlier Jilian. I had a keto diet with intermittent fasting for a whole year and it affected my health really bad. Now I counting calories and eating balanced diet healthy carbs of veggies and grains.
The FLOOR is 1200 calories???? Girl 200 calories higher than that is maintenance for me and anything over 1400 I gain weight.
Madeline Neff just by looking at your profile picture you look like a young woman, if you gain weight by eating 1400 calories then simply put you are not burning enough calories, whether you have a slow metabolism naturally or not, I do think this is something you should ask your doctor about. 1400 calories is like cutting for many people. No way should you be gaining weight.
Maddie Frank I actually just talked about this to my dad who’s in the medical field and he agrees... I workout with a trainer 4x a week and I think I’ve messed up my metabolism from a combo of different things and I wasn’t tracking my calories properly. So all in all what you say is true, I just need to start using MyFitnessPal😂 thank you for the insight and if my dad has not have told me first, your comment would’ve had me thinking
So glad you are on the fruit train! I have heard so many things saying to cut out the fruits that are "too high" in sugar and it never really made sense to me. Love these videos and I trust your advice!
I eat lots of fruit and stay slim.
She is so knowledgeable and breaks it down into science I love how she explains everything in detail
Hahahahaha OMG Gillian you really made me laugh with the "speck of dust for a snack" comment! 😂😂😂
I'm calorie counting and this video is so true. Thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️❤️ it really encouraged me 🙂
You’re amazing! Love your content!
Excellent video. Rewatching 1 year later.
Yep! No way around it
I was literally looking up a video like this two days ago ! Thank you! Totally makes sense now !!! Im always like why the heck don’t I lose weight ! I’m moving more but I wasn’t calorie counting
I am so Betty Sue! So pissed at the scale!😂
kristiboyz lol
me too lol 😂
CICO absolutely works! I’m 58 and post menopausal and using CICO and MyFitnessPal, and an hour of gentle cardio each day I’ve painlessly taken off 10 pounds in a month. The long term benefit of using CICO is retraining yourself what and how much to eat. Just had knee replacement so I’m still eating my 4 300 calorie meals and a snack, and don’t expect to lose anything while I recover, but as soon as I can do weights and cardio again I’m all in! I feel like Dorothy when the good witch told her she had the ability to go home all along!13 pounds down...27 more to go!
It works! Thank you for thus video! My best friend is ballerina and she thought me this. So I am now skinny opera singer! Haha!
👏👏👏👏 perfect, short, and 100% true video about weight loss!!! And thank you talking about the keto diet. So many people don't understand the ramifications of that diet!!
This was so helpful thank you
I was all for keto because I lost so much weight fast but I felt like shit during the process and after a month my hair started falling out! I have stopped the keto diet for a little over a year now and my hair is still falling out but a lot less... Thank you for the honest video
anything she says i do .. love you jillian !! xo
Sheep do that
That's how cults start
Where have you been all my life 😭😭❤️ thank you for these tips this is the TRUTH right here people 👏🏻 Im going to start moving more and eating less
I have tried low carb diets in the past and what happens with me is I get insomnia and depression yes I lost weight but it was not worth it. I now basically eat healthy fruits and veges good protein complex carbs in moderation I exercise and started weight training and feel great I count calories and is working it is a lifestyle I can sustain.
Been doing calorie counting for a few years now. Everything she said in this video is true.
I had a cardiologist told me to pig out on all the greens and limit my meat 3 ounces a day which I dropped alot of weight but still takes a long ass time for me to drop weight and I ride a bike 6 days a week, run twice a week, lift weights high reps and I do yoga with calthenstics still I'm having a rough time dropping weight fast but then again I keep getting told I'm obsessing to much to drop weight
You may want to try some 24hr-5day water fasts once a month to help you reach your goals quicker, if you have a heart condition shorter water fast would have less impact on your electrolytes. Talk to your Dr. Next visit and see if that would help you. There was recently a article in the New England journal of medicine requarding the benifits of calorie restriction via fasting and the therapeutic value. Good luck on your journey.
el pocho Dan try upping the many days you lift weights. Strength training will help you more to burn fat. Also, HIIT exercises work wonderfully too. Good luck!
Take it slow and you won't have so many problems...
@@Eva-wg3tz that's the thing I dont go heavy weights I am doing light weights but high reps. I used to do strongman and powerlifting back in my 20s. I just want to become a ultra endurance athlete I know it takes time but the losing weight part is the bitch
Look up Dr. Berg on intermittent fasting here on UA-cam. He’s the best!
