Read More »Here's why the personal trainer and weight loss expert thinks this is one fad you should skip. While keto, also called the ketogenic diet, remains controversial, Jillian Michaels isn’t backing down on her firm anti-keto stance. Michaels recently appeared on the podcast #Adulting, hosted by comedian Zack Peter and wellness expert Nikki Sharp, saying, “People can criticize me all they want, but the bottom line is, it's science and the science is there—and [keto is] bad for your overall health and wellness.” Stay up to date on what healthy means now.

SIGN UP If you’re somehow not familiar with it, it works by essentially depriving your body of carbs (some dieters consume fewer than 20g per day) and replacing those calories with a lot of fat and a moderate amount of protein. The point is to get your body in a state of ketosis, in which your body stops burning carbs and instead burns fat for energy. Many dieters like it because there’s no calorie counting, and previously “off-limits” foods—like red meat, cheese, butter, and heavy cream—are actually encouraged. But Michaels isn’t a fan of inducing ketosis. She says, “Ketosis is a state of medical emergency, so when the body becomes what is called ‘ketotic’, your cells cannot function. Your cells function optimally in a very specific pH. Any endocrinologist will explain this to you.” Michaels says although keto can help with weight loss, there are better ways to shed fat—like by eating a balanced diet full of lean protein, fresh produce, and whole grains. She said, “You can achieve all the good stuff with none of the bad stuff.” And the “bad stuff” that comes along with keto can be pretty scary—like constipation, keto breath, nutrient deficiency, and even diabetic ketoacidosis. Michaels said, “It attacks the s–t out of your liver, your thyroid. It shortens your telomeres, it’s bad for your macromolecules. I mean, it makes you stink, but that’s—we can table that one!” she said.

Yes. In fact, having a regularly scheduled cheat day each week can actually be good for weight loss by preventing binges, reducing cravings, providing a mental break from dieting, and boosting metabolism—if it’s done in a healthy way. By healthy way, I mean using it as a day when you give yourself a break from measuring every portion and counting calories and allowing yourself a little leeway to enjoy a favorite food or two. You still consume plenty of water, and try to get fruits and vegetables in, but in a more relaxed way. What’s not considered healthy (or good for weight loss) is to use a cheat day as a time when you go to extremes with eating or binges. There’s no pressure to add a cheat day. In fact, most don’t want to or feel they need to their first few weeks of a diet. But when the newness wears off and motivation starts lacking or a plateau hits, adding a cheat day may help.
