Hi guys I was listening to the Jillian Michaels show on itunes this morning and hit on some great stuff -

-if you listen to the episode from 3/31/2012 (with Bob Harper) the last 15 minutes is all about how 1200 calories will NOT send you into "starvation mode", straight from the horse's mouth. It is a must listen, I love her show, she is hilarious and so is her producer Janice.

I have no opinion about "starvation mode" persay, but I do know that you need to eat a certain amount to lose weight in a healthy manner. 1200 might be the magic number for some people, but it's not one-size-fits-all. Just because Jillian says something doesn't make it the truth. And this is coming from a Jillian fan--I love her workouts--but she's not the final say in everything fitness/health.0

It's true, I don't always agree with Jillian about everything either. Have a listen and decide for yourself!0
