Yay I think i'm the first one to comment! I've never been 1st! Anyway..I think that this diet is good, but not all of the time. You can't eat the same things over and over again every single day.

She's making quite a sacrifice. I admire her self-restraint. This is why she looks the way she does. What an unappealing diet. I did a low-fat/low-carb diet and it sucked big time. It made me hate eating.

Jillian has it figured out. Now, if we (those in our profession) can just get the rest on board, that'd b great. DJ

This works for her, but may not work for you. Just from looking at this, I'd say she should partition the fat and carbs away from each other. Junk foods are considered "Bad", because they combine fat, sugar and carbs together. Removing the sugar means insulin will be a little more lenient, but I recommend isolating fat and carbs in different meals away from each other. As for no carbs in the evening, this is a regular recommendation. However, it's really about how MUCH carb you've eaten during the day, not a matter of WHEN you eat it. Since she's carbing during the day, it makes sense to avoid it at dinner. However, if she at protein only for breakfast and lunch, then she could eat a low-fat carb dinner. The muscles will be primed for carb-loading, and the carbs won't turn into fat, even though it's eaten at night. Some folks would do better with more meat in their diet and less carbs, though. Likewise, some may do better totally removing grains from their diet. The general definitioin of a "clean" diet is "only things you can pick, grow or kill". Basically you scout the outer part of the grocery store, where there's green veggies for fiber, potatoes/corn/beans for carbs, and meat/fish for protein. Skip on the grains. Skip on the processed meats. The hardest part about following a clean diet for most folks is the meal prep. Folks have lots of things going on in their lives these days. They need esay, clean, convenient meals. Unfortunately, most convenience foods are loaded down with junk. And convenient clean foods (microwave steam veggies & fish) taste awful. However, changing your diet is the pivotal point. It will help you sleep better, give you more energy, and eventually be enough so you'll want to work out. Add in a fish oil and GLA supplement (EG: Borage oil), and clean eating can really make a difference. Food is the most abundant drug you'll ever put in your body.

Never mind the diet crap, where is the comment section for 'real' news? Does anyone read these comments or am I talking to a dumb computer?

That is the worst diet I've ever seen! I know everyone thinks this lady is so awesome but come on. English muffins and she tries to avoid carbs? Then hummus its all fat and oil. People who believe this kinda stuff are the ones who spend all their lives trying to loose weight and fail. Then spend thousands on equipment, surgery, hocus pocus gimics and listen to people like her who have own products they sell that are crap. Whatever she knows it all she's on t.v. just like dr.phil.

I try not to focus too much attention on my diet. I just try to make healthy choices most of the time. It is a lot easier to stick with healthy choices when you are not so strict.

well, it's all GOOD advice with the exception of eating a lot of fish. if she doesn't own an organic fish farm (or eat the same), then she's ingesting a lot of toxic chemicals from our barely regulated industries, so watch out for that hype of -"eqat a lot of fish" 'cuz that crap alone will kill you! mix it all up - eat live food - eat organic - cook at home - eat less - live long AND live well
