New Jillian Michaels interview in July Redbook
The Biggest Loser's Jillian Michaels graces Redbook's July cover, and in the magazine, available next week, she reveals her weight struggles as a teen and confronts her turbulent past dealing with her parents’ divorce, and getting in shape with martial arts. She told the magazine:
"I spent all of eighth grade in my classroom because God forbid I ever left. I was terrorized. And karate saved my life. It all stopped the day I broke two boards with a kick.”
She also discusses her new show, Losing It With Jillian and shares the Biggest Loser weight-loss rules:
- You must count calories. "Not counting calories is the biggest mistake people make," she says. "Use whatever medium you're on most frequently: the Web--the free site, caloriesperhour.com is a great resource. Or use an iPhone app. Or carry a pocket calorie counter with you."
- You must avoid processed foods at all costs. "Processed foods are loaded with preservatives and chemicals--in other words, poison. The right quality food makes such a difference in how you feel. I always say, if it had a mother or came from the ground, that's a green-light food."
- You must do five intense 30-minute workouts a week. "Thirty minutes is me being kind! Make it fun. Go walking with friends; plan a family outing. And if it requires you to get up a little earlier, do it, for God's sake!"
- You must inspire yourself. "You have to establish the why: Why do you want to change your life? What's inspiring and motivating you? A long life? To wear your skinny jeans to your 10-year high school reunion? That why is gonna carry you through."
