For the last two weeks I’ve been the same weight! Today I told my body to chill ! Today will be my high calorie day and trick my body! Saturday I’ll be back and doing different workouts. I’ve lost 60 pounds and 40 more to go!

Jillian is totally right about this. I did it by accident and had two cheat days of around 3000 calories....took 3 days off weight lifting and wala! I lost 5 pounds after like a month of lingering around the same weight!

I did this accidentally last weekend...I had a cheat day and ate 2000 calories including cake...I went hiking instead of the gym...and just hung out for a couple days drinking more water than usual....woke up this morning weighed myself and I lost 4 lbs after 2 weeks stuck at the same weight...🙃

Shes right on, I was cutting back on calories, eating clean and killing it in the gym, my weight actually stabilized, and I was like WTF is going on, I should be dropping weight like a heavy rain, the problem was, I wasn't taking enough time off or eating enough and my body adjusted to keep my weight right where it was. She knows what she is talking about.

Seriously went through so many videos on this topic & no one clearly explained what to do to solve this problem until now.. guys she did it in THREE MINUTES. Wtf. Lol
I been eating 1200 calories a day, scale and all. Being 100% honest with myself, no cheats. Been working out every day & I can't lose any more weight based off this video I probably need a break and a nice well deserved high calorie day 👏 finally someone explained it well.

I came back to this video just to comment how I did this and it worked for me!! I was stuck at 184-185 for SEVERAL months...did this and I’m now at 179-180 and have maintained it for over 2 months now!!

[jodyarmstrong]

can you just come live with me and yell at me when i make bad choices. this is so hard to do alone and work two jobs and raise kids and try to have a relationship with a guy who loves to eat out. i'm dying over here. sometimes i watch your vids more than once bc i want to remember what you said later

[angeldominick]

I weigh myself every day so I noticed I’ve been between 127-128 for over a month now. I workout daily, no breaks ( realized this is a mistake). I eat in a calorie deficit too.. yesterday I ate about 2300 calories and didn’t work out. I’ll take 2 more days off. I’ll be back to report on my progress!


Hi guys! I’m here to give my report back. So after two weeks of doing what she said, now my scale number is finally dropping down again. I tried to take breaks whenever my body didn’t feel like it, changed some workouts here and there, I was eating two meals a day but I started eating three meals but still healthy and with the required calories. So it worked for me guys and I’m happy! If you’re reading this, don’t be afraid to take that break, your body needs it more than you can imagine. Also get 8 hours of sleep and drink your water! Lov ya💕

She's the first person I've heard to mention the hormonal component. Great info!

[uqqoimh]

Omg thank you this worked for me! I ate 1700 cals mostly carbs for one day, then upped my normal cals by 100 for a week and I lost 2lbs!! 💜

[yessenia]

Every time I have some workout/healthy eating question, I go on my home page and there’s Jillian with a new video! Thanks for the awesome insight! ❤️

[Socialmediamasterpiecefirm]

I just want to add that this helped out for me too! I did two days at 3000 calories. My weight increased 6 lbs for about 5 days. Then I started going down great after that… I lost the 6 lbs plus and another 10 lbs so 16lbs total in just two weeks. I was stuck for about 3 weeks at my previous weight. I also didn’t follow my workout routine I only walked. Just wanted to report that this worked for me too 😊🙌🏾

Love the honesty and the matter of fact approach !! Something about the way you deliver the content is just so motivating !! Massive thank you

[anawasfound]

I did this and it worked!! At first I was scared because I didn’t want to gain weight. I went from 58.4kg ( my plateau weight for weeks) to 59.1 but then the next day I worked out and ate less and quickly became 58.1kg.
Update: I wrote that comment at the end of July, now is august 8th and I weight 56kg!! I do this method Everytime I’m stuck on a weight and I don’t feel hungry anymore cuz I eat whatever I want

[shoshib]

I have been saying that for years just based on my own experience and had no idea it was scientifically proven, I just knew it worked.
This woman has reshaped my body and I love her for that. I have been exercising for almost 30 years; I am thin and fit but she really toned me up and made me stronger.
❤😘 Love you Jillian!

[jeanjacqueslacarte]

Ms. Jillian, you make sense as always!! This vlog will get shared. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[rebekahf]

Your videos are so freaking informative, and they are so pleasantly direct. You’re not being a jerk about it but you just state in a mater of fact way that this is the truth and this is how you lose weight/get healthy. I thoroughly enjoy your videos.

[susanreyes]

Wow, i appreciate that Jilian! This is like gold, thank you.

[Ibel]

I have been there hundreds of times, until I finally gave up.. I know you don't like people who give up, you made me go through an incredible body change journey since 2016, and i'm willing to go back on track with you, simply because you are the only person who literally can make me change for the better. Love you
