    At least they sat 'Most Influential' and not the best with JM on there :tongue: Although I am biased admittedly!

    Pfffft....TC Luoma and Jillian Michaels are included, but not Alan Aragon, Lyle McDonald and/or Eric Helms? Their argument is invalid. I'm surprised Dr. Oz wasn't on their list somewhere.

    With the founder of crossfit as the #1 most influential person, I predict universal agreement and praise for this list. :happy:

    Yeah I figured that the list would be a bit controversial :wink:

    I do think that JM and the crossfit dude, while not my cup of tea, have definitely been very influential.

    I agree 100%. I actually do like JM.....not for her nutrition advice but for other reasons. Regardless of being in agreement with either individual, the list was about influence and that they both have. Tremendous influence when it comes right down to it.

    From a semi-outsider's perspective, Jillian Michaels is the Rachael Ray of fitness. They can both go through the motions of their profession, but they're really just a face in front of a camera. (And personally, JM's smirk looks more like a permanent "I'm better than you" wince.) However, they're both influential in their arena, no matter their pedigree.
