Has anyone tried the new Jillian Michaels QuickStart Rapid weight loss program, Maximum strenght fat burner pills, or the Thincare international Jillian Michaels maximum strenght calorie control tablets, or the triple process body detox and clense. If so could you tell me is it safe and is it worth the money?

I saw Jillian on Rachel Ray and she talked about what is in her pills. They are all natural, even caffeine which is a natural ingredient. She explained how she worked closely with a doctor to make these the best possible product to help you in your weight lose. HTH

Hi this is stacey again I made the post above,I created an account on here AKotlarz10 please feel free to email me or comment on here I will be tracking my progress on this website once I start the pills and I plan on taking them until I reach the 120-130 weight range. I also had one more questions if I've read a ton of comments about people not eating enough calories I plan on staying on my normal 1300 calorie diet plan so I'm hoping that will work.

Forgot to mention one more thing. To maintain the weight loss after reaching goal, you'll need to raise caloric intake probably to 1800 - 2200 range. The number will depend on your age and activity level. Also, you need to take some time out to seriously think about what exactly triggered your weight gain. Unless you deal with those internal demons, it's very easy to slide backwards.

Forget the pills. IMO they could potentially hurt your health. Most likely any lost weight will be regained fairly quickly once you stopped taking them.
To lose one pound of fat, you must burn 3,500 calories above what is eaten. To reach your goal of say 120, you must burn 143,500 calories (31 lbs x 3500 cal/lb) above what is eaten. You have plenty of time before August to do this.
Ironically, it’s easier to lose weight at our heaviest because we usually expend more calories just existing. Your body is probably burning 300+ calories less each day at 161 doing nothing than it was at 245 or 200. The lighter you become, the more work it takes to reach the 3,500 calories needed to lose a pound of fat.
Plateauing at different weight levels is actually quite common. To restart your loss, recommend the following:
- Drink 8 glasses of water each day. The body needs to be well hydrated to continue losing weight.
- Get adequate sleep each night—preferably at least 8 hours but no less than 7 hours.
- Vary your daily caloric intake say between the range of 1200 to 1400. Don’t eat the very same amount of calories each day. On heavy exercise days, you’ll need more calories otherwise the body will go into starvation mode and not let you lose weight.
- Check what you’re eating daily to be sure it contains the RDA of nutrients your body needs.
- Start cardiovascular exercises and some weight lifting. Vary the routine each day. Don’t overtrain. Calculate how many calories you’re burning. At the end of each week, if you haven’t lost one pound for every 3500 calories of exercise then your diet probably needs adjusting. (e.g. You might be eating too much or not enough. Your carbs might be too high. Your diet might be missing some essential nutrient(s) the body needs. You aren’t getting enough sleep or water.)
A regular routine of cardiovascular exercise and weight lifting should increase your metabolism the natural way to burn more calories during the hours that you aren’t exercising. In other words, you should start seeing more weight loss than the calories counted from actual exercise.
Good Luck.

Hi my name is Stacey and I'm debating on wether or not to take these pills. I am getting married August 6. 2010 I am currently 161 lbs and I'm only 5 feet tall. I use to weigh 245 lbs I did weight watchers and lost the weight BUT now I am stuck and I've been stuck for quite some time,I eat alot of high fiber foods take my vitamins but don't really exercise like I should. My bff Michelle and I just joined a gym so were going to be workout buddies.I've tried cutting back on my carbs,eating more fruit,tried being a vegieterian (that didn't work I'm sorry I like to eat meat). I am going to buy these pills and I've read all 33 pages of comments my eyes hurt from looking at the computer for so long. My question is do I take the detox and the fat burners together or do I take the detox by itself for the amount of time it states a week or 3 weeks and then I move onto the fat burner pills. I also was wondering can you take the calorie control pills and the fat burner pills together. I plan on doing weight watchers while taking these pills,I allow myself one cheat day a week and thats sunday I eat pizza with my fiance,and he can eat anything and not gain a single pound. I feel by having a cheat day allows me to not go overboard on anything and on my cheat day I don't go all out I still watch what I eat. I am 161 pounds and I want to be 120-130 by August 6, 2010 I hope I can do this with Jillian Michaels and exercise and diet. I would like to here from some people that have done these please email me at [email protected],I will post more comments once I start these pills.

HI! My question is whether to take both the fat burner and calorie control at the same time or just one, and if just one, which do you recomend? Thanks
