Jillian Michaels, the Biggest Loser's toughest trainer, admitted she suffered from a slow metabolism. In her new book she reveals how she healed her metabolism by making key changes. She details in 'Master Your Metabolism' secrets to naturally balance your weight loss hormones.

Jillian admits to eating poorly, eating too little, and over training. She told Julie Deardorff of the Chicago Tribune, "My hormones were entirely whacked out—and with it, my metabolism."

Jillian went on to heal her metabolism through improved food choices and less time in the gym. Jillian points out in her book she changed the emphasis of her workouts to more resistance training and less aerobics. This, along with adequate protein intake, builds muscle mass and raises metabolism.

Jllian asked for expert assistance in writing this latest book from endocrinologist Dr. Christine Darwin, and medical researcher Mariska van Aalst. This book has its foundations based soundly on medical science and offers real help for everyone struggling with weight loss and weight maintenance. Some tips given include eating more fiber, getting more sleep,and learning what you can do to balance your hormones.

Your hormones are key to burning off body fat and if you're not in balance you're seriously jeopardizing your success. Although Jillian Michaels admitted she was guilty of over training, she says most people under train. This habit of not working out hard enough leads to stalling out in your weight loss progress.

This means you're not releasing enough fat burning hormones. So to be a Biggest Loser and succeed at weight loss you must step up the intensity of your workouts.

Jillian is a huge inspiration to millions including myself. Her example of excellence as a personal trainer, and her personal knowledge of weight loss struggles, is a valuable resource for anyone trying to lose weight and struggling. I highly recommend her new book to anyone seeking help to lose weight.
