Jillian Michaels Overview
Jillian Michaels will be a familiar person to any viewers of the popular show ‘The Biggest Loser’. As the trainer on the program, she has developed a ‘tough as nails’ reputation who pushes the contestants in order to gain results. One of the reasons she is successful however, is that she too once struggled with her weight and can therefore empathize with the ‘losers’.
Jillian’s website perpetuates the tough image by showing her pictured in a t-shirt with the slogan ‘bully’ and by outlining background information on her own fight and determination to help others with their weight loss goals.
Aside from her work on ‘the Biggest Loser’ Michaels also finds the time to appear frequently on radio talk shows, write best-selling books and produce a line of exercise DVD’s and equipment. All her products are available on the website as are links to Michael’s ‘Question and Answer’ section and printable exercise samples.
Jillian Michaels – Product Description
The Jillian Michaels diet program normally costs $5.00 per week but, at the time of writing was available for $4.00, with a minimum 5 week commitment. For their money, consumers receive the use of an interactive weight tracker, cardio and muscle training guides, recipe and meal plans tailored for their individual body type, support and motivational messages from Michaels and access to the community and message boards.
As stated on the site, the advantages to using this plan are that each is customized to the dieter’s needs, it requires no gym membership and the customer receives the benefit of Michaels’ vast experience.
In addition to the weight loss plan, Michaels also offers a meal delivery service. Subscribers to this service receive low-calorie meals per week at a cost of $19.95 per day. The offer is only for customers in the U.S. and must sign up for at least a month at a time (costing $159.60).

Jillian Michaels – The Bottom Line
It is unfortunate that Jillian Michaels seems to be involved in so many other products, as it gives the impression that she is mainly concerned with marketing and making money from her followers. On the other hand, she is her own best example of how determination can help overcome even the toughest weight problems, as it is something she experienced personally.
Whilst the diet and weight loss plan seems reasonably priced, the meal delivery service is very costly and unless the individual has absolutely no idea what they should be eating, consumers should probably take a pass.
