This tip by Jillian Michaels killed my plateau

This fruit salad is over 700 calories but only like 1 gram of fat, something like 9 protein... there's sugar but it's okay unless you're diabetic.

There's 164g of sugar, wow I can feel my pancreas limbering up at the very thought of it - that's a week's worth for me !


i suspect the actual key in the OP is the bit about calorie creep.

This information is posted all over the forum and Jillian Michaels gets credit for it because she's a celeb? Wonder how many buy into her supplement plans too?

I don't buy any supplements (except for a multi-vitamin), but I think she knows what she is talking about. People she has worked with show great results.

See I don't even eat that many calories to begin with. And there is rarely anything healthy that is more calories for 1 meal..

How can I even do this if I eat smart ones (weight watcher meals)?

I can't buy regular food to cook because I don't have enough money for that..

And my metabolism is wack. My thyroid is bad I take 150 mg of thyroid medication....

and eh. I despise Jillian Micheals 30 day shred.. The only time I lost inches was in level 1.. Then gained them back during level 2.. But lost 10 pounds all together 11 more days til I am finished..

The way I did it was eating a fruit salad every day for 3 days. This was just 1 banana, 1 apple, 1 chopped orange, 1 6 oz cup of Walmart fat free yogurt, and on the first day I had 6 large strawberries (after that MIL ate the rest so... I also added some cereal but you don't have to. This fruit salad is over 700 calories but only like 1 gram of fat, something like 9 protein... there's sugar but it's okay unless you're diabetic.

Being the math geek that I am, I did the math and your fruit salad works out to only about 400 calories, including the yogurt. Three pieces of fruit (or 4 with the strawberries) isn't a bad intake over the course of the day, assuming you have no needs to watch your sugar/carbs for diabetes or something.
