Jillian Michaels 90 Day Revolution Meal Plan
Does anybody have this program? I'm not following her meal plan per say because it involves a lot of cooking, but she says never to include strawberries, peaches or raw carniferous veggies in your weight loss program. I had never heard this before. Her reasoning is that they do something to the thyroid. Has anyone heard…

About Exercise Calories...
Okay, I get that people say that MFP already creates a deficit. But what if you don't have a 500 calorie deficit? It says my calories burned are 1600 a day. So at 1,200 I'm only getting a 400 calorie deficit. So if I work out and burn 100 calories I have to eat that? It doesn't make sense.
