So happy to finally have someone *NOT SPONSOR* a product and just give straight facts
Once/if she regains any kind of credibility, the in video ads promoting some bullshit she’s selling will begin.
Right love this
As I was reading this comment it went to an ad where she is promoting a collagen lol.
she is sponsoring a product.. the product that is the mainstream establishment narrative.
I’ve lost 30 pounds by cutting calories and literally just walking more
Kristen Desjarlais if you don’t mind telling, what’s your age and weight when you started.
how long did it take?
Im doing the same.
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!!
I’m five days into a calorie deficit for the first time in my life. I’ve been drinking a gallon of water a day and I’m so shocked by how well I’m handling this and how satisfied I feel throughout the day. I’m recovering from a binge eating disorder and I’m trying my best to heal my broken relationship with food. Ive been working out for increased periods of times every night because I’m not used to exercising this frequently. I’m up to 20 minutes now. Thank you for this helpful video.
After every month you need to increase the duration and/or intensity or your body will adapt and your weight loss will slow.
David W. Thank you for the tip!
@@Jasminerainl if you dont mind me asking, what does your workout look like? What machibe do you do, how long, and what resistance level?
@@Jasminerainl if you have an eating disorder you probably shouldn't be trying to lose weight.
H T you can still have an eating disorder if you’re overweight. It’s not just anorexia etc, it can also be binge eating to the point where you feel ashamed etc when emotions are high. This is where I was before.
I lost 14kgs by counting calories. Working out does help a little but what you eat is no.1 in weight loss
I agree
Counting calories does work. Then on top of that you gotta make a life style change in what and how much we eat
The #1 and #2 calorie everyone should cut out of their lives is soda and alcohol. They need to be removed 100%.
Its calories in calories out, doesnt matter what you eat to lose weight as long as your in a calorie deficit
@@emilyjade2207 although this is true, eating nutritious foods such as chicken and rice will get quicker results as compared to eating pizza everyday, even though you’re still in the calorie deficit.
This video changed my life 2 years ago. I had never heard the math of losing weight and Jillian made it very concrete goal vs tangible. At the time I was 166lbs and currently 120lbs! This video was a game changer for me!
Facts! Iv lost 70lbs doing the same thing 240lbs to 170lb. And no it doesn’t happen over night. This took me 2 years. I eat about 300 hundred calorie deficit but walk 1 hour a day to get me a total of 500 calorie deficit. The biggest tip I can give to others trying to lose weight is to WEIGH your food. Look at the nutrition label and see how many grams is in 1 serving of that food. Most people who eyeball their food end up eating more calories than they think which will slow down your weight loss. If you’re thinking you’re in a 500 calorie deficit but actually only in a 200 calorie deficit you’ll think counting calories doesn’t work. Remember don’t forget to track sneaky calories like oils and sauces. Don’t drink your calories, eat them you’ll be more full. I promise you this works.
I always knew the principal of this video to lose weight, but man the way she explained this was👌👌 makes me want to go workout now!
Same!
Haha same I’m actually going rn!
🙄
She is SO WRONG it’s not even funny.
Exercise is better then extra-pies👍😃
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.
Its really that easy
Yeah people complicate things too much with fat loss, usually because they want to sell some bs diet book or course
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
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.
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.
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!
You should check out Dr Jason Fungs work. I don't count calories and i have lost 2 stone and keep it off with in the year. Intermittent fasting first. And exercise second. Good luck ladies.
@@ianfraser2009 I used to like him but I disagree with him now. If you’re losing weight intermittent fasting it’s because you’re in a calorie deficit. End of story.
@Gabrielle any update? How did it go?
She looks amazing. She is aging extremely well.
It's like Jillian is speaking directly to me. I was wondering why I wasn't losing any weight after a week of calorie counting. I completely get it now. Thanks sooooo much for this video
I lost 35 pounds in two months by calorie restriction and light/medium exercise.
That's what I do, count calories and do some walking... it works.
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.
@@SK-ck9qu how many calories were you eating in a day?
@@idkidc1377 I am unable to tell you as I didn't keep count.
Been working out for years, up to 6 days a week and i always look the same. My body never changes because I am overeating. This video really motivates me to finally start calorie counting! I finally want to see some results for the work i am putting in!! THANK YOU
Exercise first !!
Eat after. !
ALWAYS. !!!
How many caloroes are you taking in each day?
Tess Schwarz congratulations girl! It’s not going to be easy but it’s so much more doable calorie counting. Just stay doing your workouts and incorporate major cardio like dancing! Also I’m documenting my weight loss journey on my channel if you’d subscribe and give me your input I’d really appreciate it!
This is very common. It's fine if you want to maintain your weight, but if you want lose just track. Lifesum is a great app. Good luck!
@@bertanosic1113 thank you so much. My problem is i love food, cooking and snacking. I burn usually 2700 cal a day but eat estimated at least 3000 cal... sick i know.
I always try tracking and weighing food its so tedious to be honest. My weight has been fluctuating between 68-75 Kilos....
That's exactly how I lost 50 pounds in the last 6 months.....Great Commentary!
ufokamakazie 1 that’s great congrats!
Congratulations!
I can count simple calories like a banana, wtc but how do u count if its several ingredients like soup or chili ??
@@michelletaylor5341 use an app like my fitness pal and try either typing it all in individually or basically what the dish is. It will get you a general ballpark estimate
ufokamakazie 1 congratulations!!!
Imagine having her as a girlfriend/wife. She’d keep you in shape and she’s stunning 😻
I believe she already has a girlfriend or partner if you want to call it
@@cwhyharris7473 yeah the whole "partner" thing is annoying, yes it's good for gay couples to call each other that but even men and women relationships are calling each other that now. I'll hear a man or a woman call their spouse their partner and I'm like what the hell
@@youtoo2233 why is that a problem? xd
@@jenniparkinen2593 no problem for gay couples, the term fits. Im a guy and i have a WIFE, not a "partner"
@@youtoo2233 i don't see the difference... as a woman you could have a wife as well.... i don't see how the terms husband and wife would fit less for gay couples, but i also don't see what's wrong with calling your spouse a partner in a straight relationship heh
I tried keto. It made my Hashimoto Hypothyroidism even worse. Lost a ton of hair too. It was not cyclical. Thank you for being real and not for keto.
Keto only thing that works for me. Super fast weight loss. Stays off. No bad fats though
Got the same condition.
High carb, high protein, low fat + heavy weight lifting + calorie counting. That works best for me. :)
I have hypothyroidism but not hashimotos.... My hairs been breaking off as well...hmmm
Hashimoto is that a japanese word ? LMAO
@@neji161718 it is. The doctor’s name who reported this disease first.
No longer gaining weight
Wow new way of thinking for me
Thank you 🧡
As a future dietitian you are one of the reasons I picked this major! I’ve been admiring you since I was a kid!
If you think that she is so knowledgeable, you may want to watch a critique of what she is saying from a PhD in nutrition and human physiology:

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.
Wow! I'm so glad someone has finally given real knowledge. As a runner, I consumed 1500 calories a day and ran an average of 7-10 miles a day. This kept me lean at arou d 165 lbs and I was 26 years old. Now at 36, Im at 200 lbs and need to revisit my old strategies which was calorie counting, daily exercise, and a mostly vegetarian diet. Thank you for sharing this great information with us.
Been watching you for years. Lost my pregnancy weight with your 30 day shred vids. You are so smart!
Just Zipporah I love 30 day shred!
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.
I’m starting my diet tomorrow. I NEEDED to hear this today. Thank you Jillian for keeping it simple and informative!
I love listening to you talk about weight loss because you make it sound simple and it doesn’t overwhelm me.
My iPhone camera doesn’t have this quality lol
Yes, I was really impressed!
Your iPhone's default settings aren't set to your camera's highest video quality. Go to settings -> camera and change record video to 4k at 60 fps :)
ravieboo damn! You’re a real one! You just upgraded my Instagram game 🙌🏽
I have an android so I would know nothing about that, lol!
It's not a phone
Common sense + calorie in calorie out + exercise + boosting metabolism = what she is telling us and I thank you lady 🙏
She takes spontaneous notes on the back of envelopes, too! It’s official, we’re soulmates.
Ive been watching this video EVERYDAY! It keeps my mindset right. Thank you Jillian🙏😘❤️
I love you Jillian Michaels!!! Your videos has taught me a lot. Keep it up.
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!
I have loved you for YEARS, I’m so glad to have you back in my life. And I giggled so many times. I love how you explain things with so much heart and knowledge but can be funny too. Thank you sooooo much
You are such an amazing teacher Jillian!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻. Love you! Just did your Cardio Kickbox👍🏻❤️
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! 🤤🤤
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.
Thank you Jillian, that was incredible informative !!
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.
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.
I love how persuasive you are 💜 doing the same lost around 15 kilos this year with calorie counting 💜
"SHE FLIPS"....LOL that's me
Bmo Cool same 😫😫😫😂😂
Bmo Cool SAME
LOL! ME!
Right? 😂
I love you, Jillian! You have helped me so much. You are my motivator. Thank you
I can't express how much I needed this. Thank you
Finally!! This info gets left out all the time on tv, from all kinds of fitness professionals and without THIS info everything else becomes misleading. I’m glad to see you explain this
“So... let’s say that I’m Peggy sue.”
hI peGgY sUE
Love it Jillian and thank you for keeping it simple and straightforward.
This is the best explanation I have ever seen. Thank you! I finally get where I have been going wrong.
I felt like you explained this like I’ve never heard it before so helpful!
This was very helpful.
Crissy samuels agree
I'm so glad I came across your video. I love how you put this together to make sense. I was trying keto but I been Soo stressed about what to eat. Thank you I needed to hear this, straight Facts..
this is the BEST video ever. Thank you Jillian
This was so helpful thank you
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!
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 love you! I love your personality and sense of humor AND your workouts. Thank you!!
THANK U FOR THAT keto info! I lost 20lbs and ended up with a fatty liver so yeah thanks for also bringing up the actual possible damage it can do and side effects!
I loved this video as calorie counting has worked on me losing weight before and I’m looking for motivation to do it again. I’m only day 3 in. Also, thanks for explaining the Keto diet.
THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING!!! LOVE THE INFO EXTREMELY HELPFUL
I really appreciate this video. Thanks Jillian!
You’re amazing! Love your content!
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
Watched this on Instagram and yet watched it all again here because I love the way you explain it, Jillian and it’s really inspiring for me on my weight loss journey. We all need this reminder.
man I love this woman! thank you Jilian, this has been such an eye opener!
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.
Hi Jillian,
I love watching your videos. They are very educational and helpful. I was wondering if you could do a video on PCOS about what are the best foods to eat, exercises, etc. I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
This was amazing and simple!!! Thank you so much
absolutely the best video i have seen on dieting and losing weight i have ever seen!!!!
Yasss! Been doing it since 2008 when I initially watched the biggest loser. Down 200 pounds keeping it off with these principles calorie counting saved my life. Thank you Jillian. ❤
I totally agree! I lost 25 pounds in 4 months, just calorie counting and some exercise- basically creating a deficit. Great video.
You just changed my life. This is the best vid ive ever watched. Thank you!
You are my goals! And you really opened my eyes on something so simple!!! 💕💕💕💕 I am ready to start my journey y’all
Calorie counting is extremely helpful!! Thank you for this!
Oh, I finally get it. Thank you! 💗
Love how you always say it how it is Jillian. Great advice as always
Thank you Jillian!!!! You are my favorite fitness person!
Yes I agree. I started doing this and it's so sustainable and makes me feel in control. Plus it helps me to allow myself to deduct or carry over those extra calories into the next day. And I'm aware that for ie) no today I will not eat that specific food bc I already ate that amount in calories yesterday. I keep a food, serving and calorie journal and I'm losing so it works for me. Plus I'm not into committing to keto, or ww, or veganism. This method works bc I can have whatever I want in a healthy way....and being aware of every foods calories makes you rethink what you are eating and why. It's an ongoing process but it's healthy bc it's a lifestyle not a diet.
I don’t care what anyone says. Jillian knows her stuff! I’m so happy that she’s sharing such awesome real and useful information on her UA-cam channel!
For your own benefit and health please check Shredded Sports Science latest video. Thank you.
Nancy Daniel and that is a dangerous way to feel about it. Good luck to your health. Keep researching. Do not believe everything people say. Especially when they have a hidden motive.
Nancy Daniel shes not the only one who puts out information like this. There are people on this platform that do a much better job at it by providing more detail on why we’re doing this calculation.
@@FaceLifeOpenMinded Agree. And way more qualified than her. Good looks has nothing to do with good informations.
FaceLifeOpenMinded mmmmmmok
She is so knowledgeable and breaks it down into science I love how she explains everything in detail
Thank you so much for your you- tube info. videos! You've saved me from the 'other programs' that I've been following and not had the results I expected. Actually, quite the opposite. Listening to you just a few times and following what you say, I'm already seeing results!
So appreciated.
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.
Makes perfect sense, I just needed to hear it. Thanks!
Incredible advice. Thank you. You are a light
I love you Jillian!!!! Thank you for breaking this down!!! ❤️
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
She's right about keto having some serious side effects though. I've been keto for a year and it's increased my energy, improved mental clarity, reduced cravings, stabilized my weight, balanced my hormones, and made every meal more satisfying... I'd love to send her my latest bloodwork chart to show how fabulous my vitamins, minerals, blood glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides are!
Man !! The way you are explaining everything 👏🏻 wow ! Love it.
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
I've done keto. I get extremely ill after a certain amount of weeks. My friend is doing keto, it's great for her. Just depends on the person
Yep. I did keto and I was fatigued just walking. Stopped keto and now have a bunch of energy.
Such a good video. I love when it’Sade simple. Sometimes we have too much knowledge and forget the basics! Thanks you!!
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
You're hair looks so nice 😍 You're the bomb, thank you ☺
A spec of dust 😂😂
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 so appreciate your useful advices
Jillian Michaels is AMAZING! Very informative video! Thank you ♡
Exited out of the video to make a hair appointment, taking a screenshot of this color- gorgeous
Brilliant. Love this explanation.
Thank you for this video. I have never heard calorie/weight loss explained this way before. It makes sense and now I know what I have to do. Thank you. 10/10 video xx
