I just want to say that your honesty, and willingness to be real about weight loss--to cut through fad BS and focus on science--while also somehow managing to not talk down to people is incredibly refreshing in the health and wellness industry.

I'm down 41 lbs now in 4 months by doing exactly what you've said--moving more and eating less--and my new more active lifestyle makes me look forward to every one of your videos.

Keep being awesome. Have a great day!

Out of all the people I watch on YouTube about weight loss/exercise, you are the only one that makes sense! You are straight forward, to the point and you explain it simply! I lost weight easily following you! Thanks !

And this is one of the many reasons that I've been following this woman for almost 10 years. She is my forever guru!

Lost 25 lbs in 3 months since I started listen to Jillian and count calories and move more! I now eat three times a day with one healthy snack and loosing weight. Tried every single diet before and never had such a result!

What you said about the hot exercise makes sense. I hadn’t thought about it, but it didn’t seem wrong sweating more was burning more calories.
You’re spot on about getting help for depression. I was only able to lose weight after getting some anti depression meds.
I know it’s difficult for people to understand, but depression not only saps your motivation, it truly, physically makes you tired. I wish people could accept that they don’t understand everything.

Jillian Tell the truth and get rid of the myths!!! Always admired your knowledge of nutrition and exercise!!! And your track record of getting many people to lose weight is evidence that you know what you are doing!! Continue to share the wellness!!!!

Thank you so much Jullian … there is so much confusion out there ❤️

[walkbyfaithfamily]

This is so true. I tried every fad diet I heard of to try and loose weight “easily”. When I started counting calories and working out I lost 15lbs in 3 months. It actually seemed easy compared to all the stuff I tried that didn’t work.
I still hate working out- but when I watch Jillian rant about it - I’m strangely motivated. 😆

[estherlozano]

I love how you explain everything!! We get into all this diets and fasting!! It’s just simple!! Eat less and move more!!

[bobsmith]

Amazing. It took a 9 minute and 22 second video to blow the crazy ass myths and fad diets out of the water. Thank you

Carbs spike insulin which promotes fat storage and the type of foods you eat do matter for weight loss. Chronic, severe calorie restriction doesn't work for weight loss, long term. Check out Dr Jason Fung and Dr Berg for information about accurate intermittent fasting and LCHF for lasting, sustainable weight loss. 😊

It's sad when the plain truth becomes a rarity. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

“Stop with the virtue signaling. It’s not helping anyone.” Amen sister!

[mandykim]

I love how she is honest!!! She keeps it real an this video definitely set me straight !!! Because I was so confused about what to eat carbs no carbs an this was the answer I was looking for!!!

[kimberlyp.]

Julian is the best ! She sure knows her stuff and I completely appreciate all of the content and hard work she puts out there! She’s my favorite 💯

Yea I was listening to people saying that you dont need to excercise but I only burn around 1600 calories... so eating 1700 calories only made me gain weight... slowly but surely... now I'm going to drop down to 1200-1400 and go back to my regular workout routine. I was doing this before and social media convinced me it was unhealthy. Can't wait to get my athletic body back. I learned to stop listening to social media "fitness influencers".

[missyyyyy]

you are so incredibly intelligent. not only do i enjoy listening to WHAT you are saying but HOW you’re saying it. thanks so much!!

[ErBeary]

Jillian! I've been a big fan of your workouts and nutrition advice for years! Your 30 Day Shred DVD got me into the best shape of my life in my early 20s and I'm hoping that it will work for me again now that I'm in my early 30s. Thank you for posting basic information and helping people get fit and fuel their bodies. I must admit that sometimes my punches are aimed at you during the Shred when you're pushing me to go harder, but you deliver the best results. You're amazing!

[tuki]

Thank you so much Jillian! You are the BEST. Inspired for sure! I am determined I will lose 30 pounds by the end of this year by moving more, eating less, counting calories and using your app.

Thats why some people need a coach, losing weight isnt as easy as they think, the average person tryna get in shape will lose motivation and give up
