Why Jillian Michaels Is Critical of the Keto Diet

A war of words erupted between former “Biggest Loser” trainer Jillian Michaels and “Today” show's Al Roker over a popular diet. The keto diet promotes high fat and low carb meals. It encourages followers to fill up on fatty foods like bacon, avocados, eggs and cheese, and avoid carbs like bread, bananas, apples, and beans. Michaels believes that's terrible advice. Al Roker, who has struggled with his weight all his life, has been on the keto diet since September, and took a jab at her comments. #InsideEdition

BECAUSE:
She isn't profiting from the Keto diet, and instead, wants people to follow the diet in her recent book.

Wow she is actually the biggest hypocrite ever she says his words hurt him meanwhile she is calling people failures and embarrassing them on tv

[rduran]

Known him for decades yet couldn't help him lose weight. He had to do keto to keep it off. She should be apologizing to him.

The ketogenic diet is the best thing I’ve ever done for myself hands down period and I will never go back

[hydrazi]

In her new there we go. She hates the idea that Keto works, for more than just weight loss. She hates the idea that it's hard to CHARGE for the Keto diet because no one can OWN it. I now know over 20 close friends who have regained control of their weight and obesity-related health issues through Keto. Jillian is wrong, misinformed and aggressively spreading that misinformation.

Easy answer to the question in the title: Money and pride, in that order.
She just doesn’t like it because she can’t profit off of it, she instead profits off of fat burning pills and soda, so of course she’s gonna be salty when loads of people start figuring out our bodies can burn fat for FREE. Supporting the fact that it could be of help to a lot of people would be admitting that she was wrong for allll those we really don’t even need her to say it, just look at the state of most who were on the biggest loser, and also the state of the nation’s obesity/diabetes/heart disease diagnoses and death following the word of nutritionists for the past few decades giving her same advice. Yea....I think it’s safe to say the SAD (Standard American Diet) doesn’t do very well for most human beings.

Been carnivore for years.
At 50 I felt like I was in my sixties, now at 60 feels like I'm in my thirties again.

Low carb diets work. If someone says that they don't work then he must have not followed the diet strictly.

[robertr.beauchamp]

Wait, let me guess: Jillian Michaels hates keto because it works and it’s free.

[Emily]

Well she needed that press to sell her book and she is getting it.

[timslee]

If Jillian is such a Keto Expert. How come Jillian Michaels doesn't know about the John Hopkins Medical Clinical Keto Diet on Epilepsy patents which reduced or stop seizures in 9 out of 10 patients? They also use Keto diet on some cancer patients as well during chemo treatments.

the processed food industry is paying her

[bassamknight]

Keto diet is one of the best ways to live a healthy lifestyle without spending a lot. You only need to change your eating habits, intermittent fasting and eliminate high carbs food. Everyone can afford it.

[auggiemorales]

Jillian, its not healthy to be on a high fats diet? So you're telling me, back when humans had to hunt for food and there wasnt really much carbs around, it was unhealthy?

[veronicasolorzano]

Tbh Keto is the only diet that has worked for me. Sense I dont like fruits keto was perfect for me. I love it eating wacamole and bacon and eggs. It can't get any better

[Swnsasy]

I cannot stand that woman whatsoever! What works for one doesn't always work for another. Weight loss is not a one size fits all.. Just look at 90% of the contestants on her show, ALL gained the weight back!!

[anonymous-cxng]

She was yelling at the overweight woman I will never trust someone like that 😨😨

[themagickalmermaid]

I don't think Jillian has bad intentions But We Must Remember, it does seem like different things work for different people.

[BobMcCoy]

*_Lisa Guerrero would never do a Keto Diet_*

[ericvid]

Yep lost 200 pds on keto. Kept it off. She's just pushing her book.
