Jillian suggests eating every 3-4 hours, four times a day (breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner) and then leaving a 14-hour fasting window between dinner and the next day's breakfast (which literally breaks the fast).Įxtremes are bad and Jillian warns against putting "too" in front of any eating or exercise method, because too much of anything can always be detrimental to your health. While overall calorie quantity (and quality) is important, it's also integral to consume them at regular intervals throughout the day, to prime your body to make use of the nutrients you're getting, keep blood sugar levels stable and to avoid deprivation/binge scenarios. Furthermore, fad diets don't work for everyone and they could be depriving you of key nutrients. Jillian goes so far as to call fad diets evil - that's how detrimental they can be to your progress (and overall health) in the long run.

HIIT (high intensity interval training) is an exercise method by which you implement short bursts of all-out exercise, followed by brief recovery periods. Many believe they simply don't have the time for regular exercise, that it's either hours on the treadmill or nothing, but there's a way to workout that is not only efficient, but may be more effective. Higher intensity + shorter duration = effective exercise

It's so easy to get caught up in all the (mis)information and over complicate your weight loss journey, but Jillian believes the only answer is to keep it simple. Attaching a strong emotional connection to your goals can put you into a better frame of mind to work and sacrifice towards them, especially when times get tough.Ģ.
