She doesn’t. Within 2 years time she’s going to be singing a different tune and saying she was wrong. People have been on the early version (Victoza/Saxenda) for over ten years, they’ve been on it quietly, and some of them have been selling people keto meal plans and workout plans without revealing that they also used a glp1 to get their physique.
Yes. I've fixed it. I don't eat crap. Not everything has to be a big "societal" change. Individuality. Personal responsibility. Even the old "Be the change you want to see in the world." & "Lead by example." apply here.
@@trevorwilliams3501 I mean sure that’s easier said than done. But I’m spending over $600 a month just on me for produce. Because I eat healthy and I try to eat organic when it counts. The green leaf vegetables like spinach and red grapes, etc., but I want cranberry juice without sugar and I look at diet Ocean spray cranberry juice versus the cost of the organic cranberry juice at Whole Foods. I have to choose the diet spray cranberry juice because it’s more affordable. wow I cannot justify paying five times as much for the regular cranberry juice that doesn’t have any added bullshit in it. I also don’t understand why they have to put red dye and all the other bullshit chemicals that ocean spray adds to the cranberry juice so we have to hold the corporations accountable, they are keeping us sick. They are us inflamed and causing all kinds of thyroid issues and autoimmune disorders. Not to mention cancer.
I know, it seems hopeless. First thing - they need to get corporate funding from big food and pharma out of academia, nutrition research, and governing agencies that make health/nutrition recommendations. This is my pipe dream - but from a systemic standpoint things would improve significantly if that could happen.
I agree with you. I don’t agree with most of her opinions on what to eat. I am the picture of health for nine years eating low-carb, high protein organic. Ozempic drugs are cancer in a pill though.
What I hear is these doctor’s solution for the obesity problem is to put people on drugs. The Jillian side seems to push more of living a healthier lifestyle. I like Jillian’s side of the argument.
Nothing against Jillian Michaels, but her arguments might be better received if she demonstrated appropriate conduct during the discourse with other professionals, and if a "healthier lifestyle" i.e. diet and exercise was reasonably attainable by a majority of Americans. She acted self righteous, irritating and interruptive to the point of the host saying that microphones might be muted. I was wanting to hear her "side" but quickly tuned out due to her manner. In the absence of a overwhelming desire or sustainable results from "diet and exercise", the next step should be to actively treat obese patients and achieve weight loss sufficient to reduce incidence of diabetes progression and reduce morbidity. That alone might be an incentive to get on the "healthier lifestyle" wagon.
That's cute, but if Jillian's method was effective, we wouldn't be talking about the drugs. If it was as easy as she, and people like you, claim, we wouldn't have an issue with obesity.
@@innervisions100 Jillians method IS effective, but most Americans are too lazy to do it. Yes, it’s really hard. I was scrawny all my life until 38, then went the opposite direction. So fat that I couldn’t see my willie. After two years, I decided to do something about it. Now I weigh 135 and run marathons. It’s an every day commitment
@@Michael-uv6cn, its not effective if the majority of people can't do it for whatever reason. Period. But here's a sugar free cookie for supposedly losing your weight and now thinking you can sit in judgement of others.
Been a personal trainer for forever and while I'd love to motivate and push everyone that I can, there are so many people that are very overweight. Some with no intent or ability to overcome it so I'm glad that this medication exists to help those people.
Also food noise is something people don’t know they have. Naturally thin people don’t have food noise and will never comprehend it unless it happens to them.
@@geauxp They start at a minimum and ramp up (wegovy). It doesn't really work at all for the first month...they are trying to see if you have bad side effects
@@NE-Explorer who is they? Do you mean wegovy you get from a doctor? I have heard from many people who have bad side effects starting on the lowest dose of different glp-1's you get from a doctor. That is why I will start on a smaller dose than that - like a 10th of a starting dose.
The VA tried to put me on this shit, guess what I did, I quit all my prescriptions one of them being oxycodone for 14 years and I quit being a bitch started toughening up. I’m clean and sober now for a year and getting back in shape again. All natural, I’m just done with the whole take this pill or injection and fix your problems, your body will heal itself with nothing at all. The body is truly a miracle.
Did you not listen to the video? The doctor specifically said he does not prescribe the brand name meds, only the compounded versions pharma companies want to have banned. He would be the last person the pharmaceutical companies gave any money to.
We have so much obesity in America because our public transportation is JUNK. Give us sidewalks. Give us functioning bus lines. Get rid of food deserts. Make costs of groceries less expensive. Make it affordable for people to go out and buy organic and non-processed food. Make rent cheaper so that people don't feel like they have to work three jobs just to pay the bills, thereby limiting the amount of time they have at home to make a home-cooked meal instead of eating fast food. There is so much going on systemically that can solve this crisis RIGHT NOW if we focus on these things rather than filling the pockets of big pharmas and doctors with money. I understand that some people feel like this is the only immediate option they have so I don't judge the individual for their choices, but instead I judge the people who have the power and influence to fight for a long term solution for these systemic issues. They don't want it to happen, though, because then they'll lose out on money they make off of everyone else's suffering.
EVERYTHING YOU SAID! If it was as easy as personal choices, nobody would be obese. But its easier to just claim millions of people are lazy then talk about the systems in place that make obesity such a problem in this country.
Seriously. And honestly- Starr at local gov. Out city has not maintained their walking paths and take forever to fix bridges that totally shut down walking areas. Prioritize THAT.
I can only talk about my own experience but I grew up in a household where my mother cooked whole fresh food, we ate a lot of salads, no dessert except on special occasions, and generally had a very healthy lifestyle. My mother and my two brothers were skinny as rakes while my father and I struggled with our weight. I was first put on a diet at the age of 5. I was always hungry and I had no off switch. I dieted and exercised and tried so hard to lose weight I even became bulimic. I gained an lost 30-40 pounds over and over again, eating healthy foods, just too much of them. After 50 years of struggle I started on a GLP1 and it has changed my life. I no longer think about food 24 hours a day, I feel full after eating a normal portion of food and finally have my weight under control. You have no idea of the freedom this has given me from the lifelong battle I fought every day not to put too much food in my body. I will be on this medication for the rest of my life as it balances the hormones that are missing in me naturally.
My teen son lost 65lbs. Simple diet exercises. Calorie count is key. Its about discipline and commitment. 2020 was really bad for my son in terms of weight. People have to put in the work it takes time.
I love Jillian!! After watching one of her videos talking about calories in calories out .. explaining that it’s just math.. changed my life!! It was the prefect mind set change.. I appreciate her fighting for this healthy lifestyle over just taking a drug.. it’s what the U.S needs
On the positive side of Ozempic, I have a relative in her 70's with diabetes and chronic kidney disease. She is not obese, but was overweight and lost most of that prior to going onto Ozempic. Her A1C is finally under control on Ozempic, and it's helping her kidney disease too. A high protein diet doesn't work well for patients with chronic kidney disease. But the food supply must be cleaned up instead of even considering putting children onto GLP-1 agonists.
Not everyone on these meds want a quick fix . Insulin resistance, chronic stress, cortisol, aches & pain, fatigue and menopause are real. These drugs can be used as a tool to jumpstart weight loss & keep the "food noise" out of your head for a while. I ate low carb whole food with exercise. I stayed on a low dose and skipped some doses and experienced less side effects than metformin. My A1C normal & down 45 lbs. Havent felt this good in 15 yrs
The physicians on the panel should have their licenses revoked. They are motivated by PROFIT. Those of us, like Jillian Michaels, are not motivated by profit but rather, motivated to help people achieve optimal health. I’m an RN and I’ve received a paycheck for 30 years caring for the sick instead of keeping people well. Our hospitals do not make people well, they just keep people sick.
@@scarred10 you don’t have to hold a medical degree to know the facts regrading pharmaceutics, health and well being, and obesity. She’s not diagnosing pneumonia.
@@scarred10and just because your a medical professional doesn’t mean you have knowledge about physiology. It means you passed a test. Doesn’t mean you kept up with your education or know how to apply it. It also doesn’t mean that you keep up with most up to date studies.
I never heard that phrase before: The halo effect. Love it. Brilliant! I experimented with HIIT. How would 5 minutes of intense exercise affect my blood work in 1 month? All my bood work shot into the 'normal' range! For me, exercise is a phenomenal intervention, not considering the obesity problem I'm working on. There are no shortcuts, the body always responds with homeostasis, and we find out, in 5 years time, the price homeostssis will charge, in our bodies. 5 minutes of intense exercise
I hope you've fully recovered. I tried to persuade a friend not to go with it but they pushed the 1.5% heart and BP improvement along with improved glucose level -_-
The obesity epidemic is most certainly a result of the food industry and the shit they put in your food. I recently was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and my doctor prescribed mounjaro. In one month on the introductory dose I lost 15 pounds and my blood sugar went normal. I was a sweet hound. Doughnuts, cookies , chocolate I craved it all. My side effects have been relatively mild. Food does not sit in my stomach for days. I am way healthier in one month it has been highly effective. It is proven to address fatty liver, reduce inflammation, reduce blood sugar, and yes lose weight. These new GLP1- agonists are highly effective for more indications. If I eat shitty food not only do I not crave the sugary crap, if I eat it it turns my stomach. These medications are revolutionary.
I guess it is easy for people to have opinions. I am on trulicity and i feel like i eat like a normal weight person now. I dont go back for seconds. My appetite, compared to before trulicity is blunted. It is so nice to not constantly be consumed by the thoughts of food. With that,my desire for sugar has diminished greatly. I am type 2 diabetic. We are all different.
I’m on it & have nothing but intestinal problems, bought of sickness & the shits every 10 days, I told my Dr I’m done with it ! I’m type one diabetic & it’s the worse drug & the most deadliest that I put into my system keep it I don’t want it know more, it’s been a nightmare ever since I started taking the dam thing, weight loss I’ve never lost a a pound .
Check out the Mastering Diabetes method of whole food plant based. The two guys who founded M D are both T1D with PhD’s in nutritional biochemistry, and they eat a RIDICULOUS amount of carbs every day. The right carbs is where it’s at. I reversed my T2 this way with no restrictions on the proper carbs, low fat, grains, legumes, veggies and fruit that is considered “taboo” by the diabetic medical community. Also, moderate exercise (30 minutes) 4-5 days a week. Now that I reversed my T2 and lost 35 pounds, I have more energy at age 59 than I did at 29. My exercise regimen is now 5-6 days a week with higher intensity and for 45-60 minutes a day plus 3+ mile walks everyday. That’s because that’s what I want to do, not because it needs to be that way.
After all these years, shes still so arrogant and working with old science. Insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, cortisol and not to mention mental health make fat loss with "exercise and a calorie deficit" almost impossible for so many.
So you eliminate the things which stimulate insulin and fat storage. Just like every American so into convenience, the solution is some corporation’s revenue stream. Sit in your car half the day to commute, sit in your office chair all day then drive home and sit more. This is the daily life of so many people I used to know in US.
I know, I lost weight through cutting carbs, exercise and intermediate fasting. I hit a plateau and if I eat any less I'm always hungery. Isn't Jillian one of the people who screwed up all those people's systems on Biggest Loser?
All of the crap they put in our food is chemically engineered to keep people hungry and tired. That’s the piece of this puzzle that is always forgotten.
Lifestyle changes over drugs! Of course pharmaceutical companies are saying it’s safe. They also said OxyContin wasn’t addictive and we all know what that did to this country.
So glad Jillian is speaking out against this. Maybe some people won’t respond to diet and exercise. It’s a very small percentage of people. And most thst don’t respond well, aren’t really putting in consistent effort.
@@YTSparty, and that's your business? If you don't want to or don't need to take these meds, don't. I fail to understand the "concern" you all have about what others do with their bodies.
@@innervisions100 When doctors and media are pushing these meds, it's WRONG. What is your opinion on Perdue Drugs pushing heroin? It's none of our business? People need to be educated, that's my concern. Do you make money on selling these drugs??
As a physician, I left medicine because we have lost the power to teach and guide our patients. Visits are now 9 minutes. These docs on the panel find it easier to write a script. 10:06 Yes if you write a drug you can move on to the next patient quickly I know, it takes a longer time to counsel patients. So you see more patients and get paid more. Thanks Jillian and Calley for being the voice of reason. Healthy eating takes discipline and patience we are a quick fix culture and the demand for drugs is high.
Why are the people who are not physicians so irate and combative? It’s scary how ignorant Jillian and Calle are about hormones, neurotransmitters and all things medical. I have been eating plant based for 8 years and I bike 60-80miles a week and do strength training. Ever since I was thrown into chemical menopause because of breast cancer, I’ve struggled with weight gain. My cholesterol has been over 240 for years but not because of my LDLs which are below 100 and my triglycerides are 38 but my HDL is 145. Yes that’s the good cholesterol but because of it, my cholesterol is high. I don’t understand why people are trying to shame people taking these medications. What about my body my choice. You have no idea the emotional impacts these meds have had on people. They finally tell people that they aren’t weak or lazy or without will power. It’s shameful that people are so up in arms about this. This black or white thinking is so ignorant. There’s rarely a one size fits all solution in life.
I can tell by your first sentence that you think physicians are God's. Physicians only spend about 10 hours learning about nutrition, and I am told that medical schools today don't even teach it. They are shaming people for taking GLP-1 drugs, they are simply stating the facts.
Jillian, keep up the good work! We need more people like yourself that will help the rest of the people who are struggling and do not understand! I believe God has given you this mission to help people.❤
I'm 65- United Healthcare gives me $189 per month for HEALTHY food ONLY. I've lost 18 pounds since I got my Ucard. Very happy with the new way of eating and grateful for this help for seniors. SNAP benefit was $23 per month
These were created to be diabetes drugs. If you have diabetes, then the benefits of good blood sugar control and weight loss probably outweigh the risks. If you don't have diabetes, you should think about limiting your time on these medications to 6 months and perhaps utilize them to get a jump start on your weight loss journey. But there is no way around it, when you discontinue these GLP1 agonists, your appetite WILL return.
No, these are not created drugs. Peptides are natural to our bodies and GLP ones are Peptides. The thing the drug companies are making money on are the delivery devices not the drugs by the way it’s not a drug. It is something that cannot be patented and we all have them in our bodies and some of us have less than we need so this could be why some of us benefit quite a bit from having, the Peptides
hmmm...I'm on it and have had a good experience. I prioritize high protein meals, strength train 3/wk, focus on my water intake. I'm 66 years old and am happy this is the only medication I take on a regular basis. It is't the easy way...still requires hard work and focus but has allowed me to lose lbs I haven't been able to do in years. I wonder is Jillian Michaels sells anything to help with weight loss and health...........
"I wanna be on the right side of history". 100% Jillian 👏🏼 The media excitement over these drugs says enough; people are not using lifestyle + nutrition as a first line and spending money to test relevant labs to help with this process to identify insulin resistance, thyroid function and other complicating weight loss factors. So incredibly appreciative of Jillian and Calley's advocacy for American health!!!
The woman who got famous yelling at fat people and making a spectacle out of them on TV wants to talk about integrity. BTW if a 200+ lb person loses 45 pounds, that IS actually remarkable for their health.
You're changing what she said to make a point. Very dishonest. A 200lb or 250lb person losing 45lbs would be great. She said 300lbs, though. Yes, 300 is 200+, but categorizing 300 as 200+ hides the reality of the effects of the loss.
Jillian is about Jillian. I saw your comments on keto diets, ignoring the 11million plus that practice it. We no longer have diabetes, kidney or obesity problems, my numbers are finally in the normal range after years of diabetes. I’m sick of people like you with a platform talking crap. Wo any real research or candidates that are proof of better health. I’m proof along with millions of others of us with the same on going great health.
My friend was on it for controlled T2 Diabetes . She started getting dizzy because it started throwing her glucose out of wack. She then started throwing up and became very ill. She was diagnosed with inflammation and infection of the pancreas and was hospitalized for 4 days. She only lost about 15 pounds over 6 months. She could have easily lost that amount of weight or more WITHOUT Ozempic by just cutting 500 calories a day. 😢
Not really. It's just modern everyone's a winner, truth is relative, bullshit this reporter was probably paid to close with by whatever company is sponsoring the broadcast. He was pushing back on the anti-Ozempic guests before the pro-Ozempic doctors even came on. He definitely had a side. The reporter aside, all of the guests are experts. None can claim ignorance. Someone is lying. Someone is acting in bad faith.
An old friend of mine from college came to visit me recently. He has always been overweight because he doesn’t eat a proper diet and he doesn’t exercise other than swimming. He started taking Ozempic a few months ago. He has lost 50 pounds but he constantly belched and farted. He even admitted that those side effects were bothersome. I didn’t exactly appreciate it either.
It gave me kidney failure & a horrible horrible rash that look like chickenpox and they itched for months and months even after I quit taking it, it takes a long time to get out of your system. Do not take this.!!!
Dear Ms Michaels, 30 years ago, one of our very good leaders said something similar : having a better health system is, first, having a better health for people. He lost his elections. So you're on something big here.. don't let it go!
Jillian Michels’ insights on obesity, diet, exercise, and sleep are, without a doubt, some of the most accurate approaches we have today. However, despite her thorough understanding of these topics, her views are too idealistic, failing to fully consider the societal and environmental influences that many of us face daily. Yes, in an ideal world, we would all follow her advice to a T-but the reality is far more complicated. One of the biggest challenges is understanding that food can act like a powerful drug. Ultra-processed foods are designed to be hyper-palatable, which makes resisting them incredibly difficult. The grit, willpower, and careful planning required to build and maintain a healthy diet in today's world is not something to take lightly. It’s tough, especially when these foods are everywhere, and we’re constantly exposed to messages that make unhealthy eating seem normal. While I respect and agree with much of what Michels says, we need to inject a dose of realism into the conversation. On any weight loss journey or when trying to make lasting changes to our health, temptation is always around the corner. It's easy to get derailed by social events, where ultra-processed foods are abundant. Whether it's a gathering with friends, a work event, or even a quick dinner out, these environments often present foods that are hard to resist. And for many, these little indulgences can quickly snowball into bigger setbacks. Michels is right that, in an ideal situation, we’d always bring our own meals, make careful choices, and resist the temptation. But how realistic is that in a world full of fast food, convenience items, and constant social gatherings? The constant presence of unhealthy food options and advertising-makes it extremely hard to stick to a clean, healthy eating plan. Breaking through this is one of the most difficult challenges of modern nutrition. It's not just about willpower; it’s about reprogramming how we think about food in a society that encourages unhealthy habits at every turn. Now, Michels is warning about potential solutions like medications for weight loss. She’s vocal about the risks of relying on drugs like Ozempic, citing serious side effects that can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and even more severe issues such as gallbladder problems or pancreatic issues. But the reality is, for some people, these medications might offer a much-needed boost to help fight the overwhelming tide of unhealthy food choices and social pressures. This doesn’t mean Ozempic or similar drugs are a magic bullet-they're far from it. They come with their own set of risks, and Michels is right to point out that medications should never be the first resort. However, in small, controlled doses, these drugs might serve as a tool to help some people bridge the gap between knowing what they need to do and actually being able to do it. The goal isn’t to rely on medication forever, but to use it as part of a broader strategy that includes diet, exercise, and mental resilience in the face of overwhelming external pressures. While Michels is right about many things, we also need to acknowledge the complexities of modern life. Ultra-processed foods and the societal pressures around them are difficult to avoid. We should strive to reduce our dependence on these foods, but we also need to be kind to ourselves and realistic about how challenging this journey can be. There’s no easy fix, but with a balanced approach-one that includes addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of diet and health-we can find a middle ground between idealism and reality.
@@Spikejou a nutritionist is not a credible qualification,its completely unregulated bunch of cowboys,a dietitan is the mimimum qualification in tgat field.She is a personal trainer.
What was not mentioned was other factors such as poor/disrupted sleep cycles and stress. At one point in my life, I had a really stressful job (which happened frequently as a special ed. teacher), and wasn't sleeping well. I had severely disrupted sleep cycles... but I ate extremely well, habitually exhibited appropriate portion control, didn't binge eat, avoided sugar and exercised regularly with fidelity (with weights, aquatic PT, and tai chi) - ALL TO NO AVAIL!! The weight wouldn't budge... so I gave up. A few years later after my second total knee replacement surgery, I decided to eat well again. This time, the weight flew off, until I returned to work. My surgery had been postponed by 3 weeks due to covid. I'm convinced I would have kept the weight off if I'd had the proper recovery time. In hindsight, I should have taken a medical leave of absence for 3-5 weeks.
I filled my prescription for Ozempic, but haven't used it yet. I am now scared to death to start, I have heard nothing but bad about it. I think I'll try to lose the weight on my own for a month and see how I do.
All these celebrities who experience the ozembic side effects, will never openly talk about it, which will then put more people in danger to ozempic side effects.
Process foods is problem, if you don’t fix process food always be on drugs which is only a band-Aid. Hey, I started intermittent fasting which I only eat in 4 hour window plus low carb diet that helped me too lose weight. My exercise is elliptical and walking. Also, I do a 30 minute walk after I eat my last meal. My weight is between 122-125 lbs which I’m very happy to live healthy weight at age 63. Not on any prescription drugs and my doctors are amazed too. Just eat healthy proper human diet.
I have a friend who’s got a beautiful kitchen, expensive cookware (salad chef, le creuset, etc) but she never cook or use her kitchen. Everyday she feeds her kids fast food 😂😅
Before menopause and having a total thyroidectomy weight loss was extremly hard. Now with meno, fibromyalgia, insulin resistance, no thyroid, hbp, and other issues it is impossible. Body pain alone is a hindrance and menopause issues and then fibro lowers metabolism reportedly. So I am now down 48 pounds in 8 months on glp1. Exercise regularly and when I dont eat perfectly I still dont gain like before. Glp1 keeps my weight moving in the right direction despite my shortcomings. Oh and no side effects other than some constipation early on. My Dr has kept me on a low dose this entire time and is only just considering raising it after 8 months.
Like all else I dont believe this is a black and white issue. Jillian, proper diet and exercise work but to those who've struggled this just isn't enough nor long lasting. If it was just that simple no one would have a problem. After weight loss the appetite can skyrocket where you feel a total loss of control over appetite and when that happens you are sunk! The weight comes back fast and furious and you end up fatter than where you started. As for the weight loss drugs I guess time will tell If they are truly a miracle or something else but if they help people who have horrible quality of life because they cannot control their weight in the long term by any means tried than this could be the game changer people dreamed of. Again time will tell.
This quickly escalated into battle of the ego. Everyone wants to be right and tear down any opposing sides. THIS IS NOT HOW WE CHANGE THE WORLD. If we can focus on the common ground we all share, we could make this world a better place. We all agree that the food industry is broken. If we could all unite and find solutions to the biggest threat to all of humankind, maybe we’d stand a chance at saving ourselves and future generations.
Amazing lol. I moved to Japan last November at 78.2kgs. After 7 months I lost 12kgs. How did I do that? I did it because I don’t have a car, I don’t eat fast food, and I eat home cooked food. I went back to the UK and put on 5kgs in 2 months. I didn’t have a car when I went back to the Uk and followed the recommendation to do 10k steps per day. In my mind you eat healthy food that is not processed and make sure you eat as many different fruit and vegetables as you can each day. In the UK we have a guideline that says 5 a day in terms of fruit and vegetables but in Japan it’s 30. The key is to eat as many different types of food as possible. I’m not a vegan or vegetarian so I’m still eating meat but I’m eating different meat each day. Thanks
I agree that we need to deal with the processed food issue. I think the public school food provisions create part of the problem. However, I decided to try it because I am struggling ot lose weight. I n.e.v.e.r. realized how much I'm plagued with thoughts of food until I was on it. Its like it shuts down the constant thoughts of food.
I have a question 🙋🏼♀️: ozempic has been available for a long time and was always marketed to people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes to help lower their A1C. Do the people on this panel or any of the other groups that are against it think that Ozempic is good for those with Diabetes or on the path to developing type 2 diabetes? or do they think it’s bad for everyone? I’m genuinely asking… I can’t help but find it curious that nobody was talking about this drug until it started to be prescribed to those who don’t have diabetes…just genuinely curious why nobody was worried about it before. Does anyone know the answer to this?
Jillian has changed for the worse. Her clients don’t keep off the weight loss. They learn to hate exercise and quit after months or years…and come back even bigger and unhealthier. Fixing the environment has to happen but millions of folks don’t need to die early waiting for the world to move a mountain. Her livelihood certainly is in danger…for her not to admit this shows that she is just toxic and not helpful.
From what I understand by other researchers here on youTube (physionic being one) insulin is not required to feed the muscles during exercise, so I'm dubious about the one female doctor's comments. It happens on its own. For those of you who get regular checkups and bloodwork, I wholeheartedly recommend a fasting insulin level along with your hbA1C. There are other methods to fix obesity than getting a shot or swallowing a pill. A very simple method that is very sustainable is the 5:2 'diet'.
In December my BMI was 34, that's in the obese category. I started semiglutide in January. Now, in September, my BMI is 25.9, this is 6 pounds away from the normal weight category. Now I actually WANT to exercise. My body craves activity! My cravings are now controllable. I'd rather not have to use semaglutide forever but I will if I have to. Through discussions with my doctor I've learned that it's likely that I won't have to continue forever.
I can't believe we have a way to make ourselves more healthy and active and you still have to shame. So smug when you don't realize the mental and physical aspects of weight.
Perfect example of: Mrs Dunning and Mr Kruger so confident they know more than physicians. And the ones who actually know far more because they’re actual Doctors, ultimately remained humble in their replies. While these exercise and nutrition advocates make many valid points, they exude the usual arrogant stupidity of people who think literally everything is a conspiracy and that everyone in certain fields are all suspect. Ridiculous 👎🏼
Can’t agree more they know nothing about hormones, menopause, insulin resistance, the function of insulin.. etc Julian was ignorant and rude for interrupting multiple times
How can you be AGAINST a healthier lifestyle? Some people can't do it via diet and exercise? Sure, but these people are the exception! Why are we pushing the general message that you need to be on medication to be healthy? I'm on Jillian's side on this one.
I’m with Jillian! It’s not worth the risk. For one you’re just essentially starving yourself because you have no appetite and it comes back just as fast if not faster if you stop taking the medication plus I’m not a fan of possible stomach paralysis.
The big problem with so called healthy eating is people are told to eat low fat carb rich foods. Like oats and chickpeas which are heavily sprayed with hormones disruptive chemicals. Plus most dr have no clue what seed oils are if you ask them. Basically your on your own to figure all this stuff out and make sure your kids aren't sick before the damage is done.
Knowing all the side effects, if I could get a dr. to prescribe Ozempic to me, I would take it. My bmi is a little too low. But in order to lose weight (with pcos), I literally can only eat 1 meal, no carbs and fast the rest of the day. It's miserable and I only lose .2 lbs a day eating that way. And I exercise.
I was the same way as you. Doctor would not prescribe it to me. I now get mine from Mochi. Look them up. You have to meet with a doctor first virtually and fill out some medical forms, and then they will prescribe you the medication at a very reasonable cost.
This is how big the pharma industry is. For example, any negative comments on this video will get added to a database to which a hit team dispatches to, M-F.
I saw this last night. Thank you Jillian for speaking out against this nonsense. Next time remind them of fen phen. Everyone wants a quick fix. Banian thank you, but please rethink your choice for president!
What didn't get mentioned is that the GLP-1 inhibitors also inhibit human growth hormone. Which is going to affect a cascade of other hormones and decrease someones' ability to hold onto muscle mass. Dr. Peter Attia did DEXA scans of his patients using these drugs and found that 2/3 of the weight lost was lean tissue verses 1/3 fat. So these people may actually becoming skinny fat, which significantly decrease metabolism and can lead to all kinds of issues down the road.
Thank you for the integrity Jillian and Callie
She doesn’t. Within 2 years time she’s going to be singing a different tune and saying she was wrong. People have been on the early version (Victoza/Saxenda) for over ten years, they’ve been on it quietly, and some of them have been selling people keto meal plans and workout plans without revealing that they also used a glp1 to get their physique.
Nobody has ever gone broke by playing to the laziness of the American people.
I wish you were wrong.
You got that right
True😅
I don’t think it’s laziness. Walk through your grocery store 90 % of the food is something anyone with a weight issue or diabetic shouldn’t eat.
@@corinnespanelewski4732 that’s true but it’s up to every individual to make the right choices.
We can’t even get daylight savings time cancelled. Do you REALLY think we can fix the American food system?
Right😂😂😂😂😂
Yes. I've fixed it. I don't eat crap. Not everything has to be a big "societal" change. Individuality. Personal responsibility. Even the old "Be the change you want to see in the world." & "Lead by example." apply here.
@@trevorwilliams3501 I mean sure that’s easier said than done. But I’m spending over $600 a month just on me for produce. Because I eat healthy and I try to eat organic when it counts. The green leaf vegetables like spinach and red grapes, etc., but I want cranberry juice without sugar and I look at diet Ocean spray cranberry juice versus the cost of the organic cranberry juice at Whole Foods. I have to choose the diet spray cranberry juice because it’s more affordable. wow I cannot justify paying five times as much for the regular cranberry juice that doesn’t have any added bullshit in it. I also don’t understand why they have to put red dye and all the other bullshit chemicals that ocean spray adds to the cranberry juice so we have to hold the corporations accountable, they are keeping us sick. They are us inflamed and causing all kinds of thyroid issues and autoimmune disorders. Not to mention cancer.
i think you would have to get daylight savings time cancelled at the state level.. there are a few states that don't do it..
I know, it seems hopeless. First thing - they need to get corporate funding from big food and pharma out of academia, nutrition research, and governing agencies that make health/nutrition recommendations. This is my pipe dream - but from a systemic standpoint things would improve significantly if that could happen.
I don’t even like Jillian Michaels all that much, but she is absolutely correct about everything she is saying here!
She probably wouldn’t like you
@@roblovegreen 😂😂😂 I hope that made you feel better to say that.
I agree! Having obese Teenagers taking these type of medications instead of changing our food guidelines and get rid of over processed food is Nuts
I agree with you. I don’t agree with most of her opinions on what to eat. I am the picture of health for nine years eating low-carb, high protein organic. Ozempic drugs are cancer in a pill though.
Michael’s is wrong
What I hear is these doctor’s solution for the obesity problem is to put people on drugs. The Jillian side seems to push more of living a healthier lifestyle. I like Jillian’s side of the argument.
Nothing against Jillian Michaels, but her arguments might be better received if she demonstrated appropriate conduct during the discourse with other professionals, and if a "healthier lifestyle" i.e. diet and exercise was reasonably attainable by a majority of Americans. She acted self righteous, irritating and interruptive to the point of the host saying that microphones might be muted. I was wanting to hear her "side" but quickly tuned out due to her manner. In the absence of a overwhelming desire or sustainable results from "diet and exercise", the next step should be to actively treat obese patients and achieve weight loss sufficient to reduce incidence of diabetes progression and reduce morbidity. That alone might be an incentive to get on the "healthier lifestyle" wagon.
@@MultiCassie12345 sure she was a little gruff but she is also correct.
That's cute, but if Jillian's method was effective, we wouldn't be talking about the drugs. If it was as easy as she, and people like you, claim, we wouldn't have an issue with obesity.
@@innervisions100 Jillians method IS effective, but most Americans are too lazy to do it. Yes, it’s really hard. I was scrawny all my life until 38, then went the opposite direction. So fat that I couldn’t see my willie. After two years, I decided to do something about it. Now I weigh 135 and run marathons. It’s an every day commitment
@@Michael-uv6cn, its not effective if the majority of people can't do it for whatever reason. Period. But here's a sugar free cookie for supposedly losing your weight and now thinking you can sit in judgement of others.
Been a personal trainer for forever and while I'd love to motivate and push everyone that I can, there are so many people that are very overweight. Some with no intent or ability to overcome it so I'm glad that this medication exists to help those people.
I think one of the main problems is that the starting doses are way too high for most people and that is why there are too many side effects.
@@geauxpfactd
Also food noise is something people don’t know they have. Naturally thin people don’t have food noise and will never comprehend it unless it happens to them.
@@geauxp They start at a minimum and ramp up (wegovy). It doesn't really work at all for the first month...they are trying to see if you have bad side effects
@@NE-Explorer who is they? Do you mean wegovy you get from a doctor? I have heard from many people who have bad side effects starting on the lowest dose of different glp-1's you get from a doctor. That is why I will start on a smaller dose than that - like a 10th of a starting dose.
The VA tried to put me on this shit, guess what I did, I quit all my prescriptions one of them being oxycodone for 14 years and I quit being a bitch started toughening up. I’m clean and sober now for a year and getting back in shape again. All natural, I’m just done with the whole take this pill or injection and fix your problems, your body will heal itself with nothing at all. The body is truly a miracle.
Good on you! Time to stop being their source of funds 😅.
This is how you do it, you do it the difficult way because otherwise you don't realize the damage you've done.
Absolutely keep up the good work!!!
That’s legendary! 👏
What a great experience! Thank you for sharing this!!
Bring in the two doctors being paid by big pharma. Oh here they are
10000000%
Did you not listen to the video? The doctor specifically said he does not prescribe the brand name meds, only the compounded versions pharma companies want to have banned.
He would be the last person the pharmaceutical companies gave any money to.
We have so much obesity in America because our public transportation is JUNK. Give us sidewalks. Give us functioning bus lines. Get rid of food deserts. Make costs of groceries less expensive. Make it affordable for people to go out and buy organic and non-processed food. Make rent cheaper so that people don't feel like they have to work three jobs just to pay the bills, thereby limiting the amount of time they have at home to make a home-cooked meal instead of eating fast food. There is so much going on systemically that can solve this crisis RIGHT NOW if we focus on these things rather than filling the pockets of big pharmas and doctors with money. I understand that some people feel like this is the only immediate option they have so I don't judge the individual for their choices, but instead I judge the people who have the power and influence to fight for a long term solution for these systemic issues.
They don't want it to happen, though, because then they'll lose out on money they make off of everyone else's suffering.
EVERYTHING YOU SAID! If it was as easy as personal choices, nobody would be obese. But its easier to just claim millions of people are lazy then talk about the systems in place that make obesity such a problem in this country.
Seriously. And honestly- Starr at local gov. Out city has not maintained their walking paths and take forever to fix bridges that totally shut down walking areas.
Prioritize THAT.
I can only talk about my own experience but I grew up in a household where my mother cooked whole fresh food, we ate a lot of salads, no dessert except on special occasions, and generally had a very healthy lifestyle.
My mother and my two brothers were skinny as rakes while my father and I struggled with our weight. I was first put on a diet at the age of 5.
I was always hungry and I had no off switch. I dieted and exercised and tried so hard to lose weight I even became bulimic. I gained an lost 30-40 pounds over and over again, eating healthy foods, just too much of them.
After 50 years of struggle I started on a GLP1 and it has changed my life.
I no longer think about food 24 hours a day, I feel full after eating a normal portion of food and finally have my weight under control. You have no idea of the freedom this has given me from the lifelong battle I fought every day not to put too much food in my body.
I will be on this medication for the rest of my life as it balances the hormones that are missing in me naturally.
well said. Jillian is incredibly ignorant . the guy about fixing the food supply is also correct
I'm happy for you. Forget Jillian and all these others who think they know better than you what's best for YOUR body.
If people, like me, can get some weight off, exercise follows. I am learning to eat correctly without the food noise. They are full of hooey
😊
This sounds like an advertisement.
My teen son lost 65lbs. Simple diet exercises. Calorie count is key. Its about discipline and commitment. 2020 was really bad for my son in terms of weight.
People have to put in the work it takes time.
I love Jillian!! After watching one of her videos talking about calories in calories out .. explaining that it’s just math.. changed my life!! It was the prefect mind set change.. I appreciate her fighting for this healthy lifestyle over just taking a drug.. it’s what the U.S needs
On the positive side of Ozempic, I have a relative in her 70's with diabetes and chronic kidney disease. She is not obese, but was overweight and lost most of that prior to going onto Ozempic. Her A1C is finally under control on Ozempic, and it's helping her kidney disease too. A high protein diet doesn't work well for patients with chronic kidney disease.
But the food supply must be cleaned up instead of even considering putting children onto GLP-1 agonists.
These Meds have their place in society, but not the way it’s being presented as a “miracle” treatment
Ozempic is a diabetes medication - that's what it was made for, so its a good thing it helped her the way it should.
Not everyone on these meds want a quick fix . Insulin resistance, chronic stress, cortisol, aches & pain, fatigue and menopause are real. These drugs can be used as a tool to jumpstart weight loss & keep the "food noise" out of your head for a while. I ate low carb whole food with exercise. I stayed on a low dose and skipped some doses and experienced less side effects than metformin. My A1C normal & down 45 lbs. Havent felt this good in 15 yrs
Thank you❤
Intermittent fasting fixes all those problems and then some.
@@jessicadavid6446 I couldn't have had success without intermittent fasting, I totally agree with you
Jillian and Calley for the win!!
The physicians on the panel should have their licenses revoked. They are motivated by PROFIT. Those of us, like Jillian Michaels, are not motivated by profit but rather, motivated to help people achieve optimal health. I’m an RN and I’ve received a paycheck for 30 years caring for the sick instead of keeping people well. Our hospitals do not make people well, they just keep people sick.
Primary care and public health is for keeping people well, hospitals are for the sock obviously
Gillian michaels is a personal trainer, not a medical professional.
@@scarred10 you don’t have to hold a medical degree to know the facts regrading pharmaceutics, health and well being, and obesity. She’s not diagnosing pneumonia.
@@scarred10and just because your a medical professional doesn’t mean you have knowledge about physiology. It means you passed a test. Doesn’t mean you kept up with your education or know how to apply it. It also doesn’t mean that you keep up with most up to date studies.

This is her brand and livelihood too.
I never heard that phrase before: The halo effect. Love it. Brilliant! I experimented with HIIT. How would 5 minutes of intense exercise affect my blood work in 1 month? All my bood work shot into the 'normal' range! For me, exercise is a phenomenal intervention, not considering the obesity problem I'm working on. There are no shortcuts, the body always responds with homeostasis, and we find out, in 5 years time, the price homeostssis will charge, in our bodies.
5 minutes of intense exercise
I was put on Ozempic for Diabetes and I ended up in the hospital with Gastroparesis. This needs to be pulled off the market.
I hope you've fully recovered. I tried to persuade a friend not to go with it but they pushed the 1.5% heart and BP improvement along with improved glucose level -_-
I have Type 2 and would never take Ozempic. If I need to lose weight, I know where the gym is located.
Sorry it didn't work for you
Very rare side effect which you knew about when you took it.
@@ecto1996its for obese people who have failed with conventional means obviously and also those with concurrent diabetes
The obesity epidemic is most certainly a result of the food industry and the shit they put in your food. I recently was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and my doctor prescribed mounjaro. In one month on the introductory dose I lost 15 pounds and my blood sugar went normal. I was a sweet hound. Doughnuts, cookies , chocolate I craved it all. My side effects have been relatively mild. Food does not sit in my stomach for days. I am way healthier in one month it has been highly effective. It is proven to address fatty liver, reduce inflammation, reduce blood sugar, and yes lose weight. These new GLP1- agonists are highly effective for more indications. If I eat shitty food not only do I not crave the sugary crap, if I eat it it turns my stomach. These medications are revolutionary.
I guess it is easy for people to have opinions. I am on trulicity and i feel like i eat like a normal weight person now. I dont go back for seconds. My appetite, compared to before trulicity is blunted. It is so nice to not constantly be consumed by the thoughts of food. With that,my desire for sugar has diminished greatly. I am type 2 diabetic. We are all different.
I’m on it & have nothing but intestinal problems, bought of sickness & the shits every 10 days, I told my Dr I’m done with it ! I’m type one diabetic & it’s the worse drug & the most deadliest that I put into my system keep it I don’t want it know more, it’s been a nightmare ever since I started taking the dam thing, weight loss I’ve never lost a a pound .
Sorry to hear they made you do it. I am sure you will find a more suitable way. Your ancestor did. They all survived.
Check out the Mastering Diabetes method of whole food plant based. The two guys who founded M D are both T1D with PhD’s in nutritional biochemistry, and they eat a RIDICULOUS amount of carbs every day. The right carbs is where it’s at. I reversed my T2 this way with no restrictions on the proper carbs, low fat, grains, legumes, veggies and fruit that is considered “taboo” by the diabetic medical community. Also, moderate exercise (30 minutes) 4-5 days a week. Now that I reversed my T2 and lost 35 pounds, I have more energy at age 59 than I did at 29. My exercise regimen is now 5-6 days a week with higher intensity and for 45-60 minutes a day plus 3+ mile walks everyday. That’s because that’s what I want to do, not because it needs to be that way.
After all these years, shes still so arrogant and working with old science. Insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, cortisol and not to mention mental health make fat loss with "exercise and a calorie deficit" almost impossible for so many.
Yeah are they clueless? Do they think the price of food has anything to do with it?
So you eliminate the things which stimulate insulin and fat storage. Just like every American so into convenience, the solution is some corporation’s revenue stream. Sit in your car half the day to commute, sit in your office chair all day then drive home and sit more. This is the daily life of so many people I used to know in US.
I know, I lost weight through cutting carbs, exercise and intermediate fasting. I hit a plateau and if I eat any less I'm always hungery. Isn't Jillian one of the people who screwed up all those people's systems on Biggest Loser?
All of the crap they put in our food is chemically engineered to keep people hungry and tired. That’s the piece of this puzzle that is always forgotten.
A lot of excuses and coping from people who clearly never committed to a consistent lifestyle change in this thread 😂
Lifestyle changes over drugs! Of course pharmaceutical companies are saying it’s safe. They also said OxyContin wasn’t addictive and we all know what that did to this country.
So glad Jillian is speaking out against this.
Maybe some people won’t respond to diet and exercise. It’s a very small percentage of people.
And most thst don’t respond well, aren’t really putting in consistent effort.
I've got 5 Years Whole Foods. I weigh 110 lbs. Food is medicine. put a catchers mask on your face if need be. but stop eating processed foods.
Its used for people who failed diet and exercise
You are 💯 correct!
Food is Medicine indeed. There was an actor who said "On Ozempic, I only eat 1/2 bag of Doritos". That's the insane mentality of these drugs.
@@YTSparty, and that's your business? If you don't want to or don't need to take these meds, don't. I fail to understand the "concern" you all have about what others do with their bodies.
@@innervisions100 When doctors and media are pushing these meds, it's WRONG. What is your opinion on Perdue Drugs pushing heroin? It's none of our business?
People need to be educated, that's my concern. Do you make money on selling these drugs??
Mad respect to Jillian Michaels - so strong minded.
As a physician, I left medicine because we have lost the power to teach and guide our patients. Visits are now 9 minutes. These docs on the panel find it easier to write a script. 10:06 Yes if you write a drug you can move on to the next patient quickly I know, it takes a longer time to counsel patients. So you see more patients and get paid more. Thanks Jillian and Calley for being the voice of reason. Healthy eating takes discipline and patience we are a quick fix culture and the demand for drugs is high.
Makes me love Jillian even more! Totally agree 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Why are the people who are not physicians so irate and combative? It’s scary how ignorant Jillian and Calle are about hormones, neurotransmitters and all things medical. I have been eating plant based for 8 years and I bike 60-80miles a week and do strength training. Ever since I was thrown into chemical menopause because of breast cancer, I’ve struggled with weight gain. My cholesterol has been over 240 for years but not because of my LDLs which are below 100 and my triglycerides are 38 but my HDL is 145. Yes that’s the good cholesterol but because of it, my cholesterol is high. I don’t understand why people are trying to shame people taking these medications. What about my body my choice. You have no idea the emotional impacts these meds have had on people. They finally tell people that they aren’t weak or lazy or without will power. It’s shameful that people are so up in arms about this. This black or white thinking is so ignorant. There’s rarely a one size fits all solution in life.
I can tell by your first sentence that you think physicians are God's. Physicians only spend about 10 hours learning about nutrition, and I am told that medical schools today don't even teach it. They are shaming people for taking GLP-1 drugs, they are simply stating the facts.
I agree with the Ozempic doctors totally. / I have done everything since a child…
No you haven’t.
Thank you Jillian and Calley for speaking the truth
Jillian, keep up the good work! We need more people like yourself that will help the rest of the people who are struggling and do not understand! I believe God has given you this mission to help people.❤
First, NO FEDERAL SNAP DOLLARS AT ALL should go to junk food. Ever! And very little processed food. That would go a long way to help.
I'm 65- United Healthcare gives me $189 per month for HEALTHY food ONLY. I've lost 18 pounds since I got my Ucard. Very happy with the new way of eating and grateful for this help for seniors. SNAP benefit was $23 per month
Love Jillian!!❤️
Thank you Jillian for sticking to the facts!
These were created to be diabetes drugs. If you have diabetes, then the benefits of good blood sugar control and weight loss probably outweigh the risks. If you don't have diabetes, you should think about limiting your time on these medications to 6 months and perhaps utilize them to get a jump start on your weight loss journey. But there is no way around it, when you discontinue these GLP1 agonists, your appetite WILL return.
No, these are not created drugs. Peptides are natural to our bodies and GLP ones are Peptides. The thing the drug companies are making money on are the delivery devices not the drugs by the way it’s not a drug. It is something that cannot be patented and we all have them in our bodies and some of us have less than we need so this could be why some of us benefit quite a bit from having, the Peptides
hmmm...I'm on it and have had a good experience. I prioritize high protein meals, strength train 3/wk, focus on my water intake. I'm 66 years old and am happy this is the only medication I take on a regular basis. It is't the easy way...still requires hard work and focus but has allowed me to lose lbs I haven't been able to do in years. I wonder is Jillian Michaels sells anything to help with weight loss and health...........
It’s not a medication though it’s something natural that all of our bodies have the only thing that is a prescription is the delivery device
@@geauxp okay....i use the word medication per it's definition...a substance used to treat a medial condition....in my case obesity.....
She’s selling how to be healthy. Taking a drug to lose weight is not a healthy way to go.
Yes! fix the food supply!!! it makes me sick to walk down the middle isles of a store! Its pathetic !
"I wanna be on the right side of history". 100% Jillian 👏🏼 The media excitement over these drugs says enough; people are not using lifestyle + nutrition as a first line and spending money to test relevant labs to help with this process to identify insulin resistance, thyroid function and other complicating weight loss factors. So incredibly appreciative of Jillian and Calley's advocacy for American health!!!
The woman who got famous yelling at fat people and making a spectacle out of them on TV wants to talk about integrity. BTW if a 200+ lb person loses 45 pounds, that IS actually remarkable for their health.
Could not agree more! She shoots botox in her face and lips and preaches to people about health integrity and vanity? Nah…
You're changing what she said to make a point. Very dishonest. A 200lb or 250lb person losing 45lbs would be great. She said 300lbs, though. Yes, 300 is 200+, but categorizing 300 as 200+ hides the reality of the effects of the loss.
Jillian is about Jillian. I saw your comments on keto diets, ignoring the 11million plus that practice it. We no longer have diabetes, kidney or obesity problems, my numbers are finally in the normal range after years of diabetes. I’m sick of people like you with a platform talking crap. Wo any real research or candidates that are proof of better health. I’m proof along with millions of others of us with the same on going great health.
My friend was on it for controlled T2 Diabetes . She started getting dizzy because it started throwing her glucose out of wack. She then started throwing up and became very ill. She was diagnosed with inflammation and infection of the pancreas and was hospitalized for 4 days. She only lost about 15 pounds over 6 months. She could have easily lost that amount of weight or more WITHOUT Ozempic by just cutting 500 calories a day. 😢
I couldnt get approved I decided to just lose weight myself in 8months i lost 75 pounds…it was hard but i did it!
Congratulations!! Harder but safer!
“Isn’t it possible that neither one of you is acting in bad faith” is one of the best questions I’ve heard
Not really. It's just modern everyone's a winner, truth is relative, bullshit this reporter was probably paid to close with by whatever company is sponsoring the broadcast. He was pushing back on the anti-Ozempic guests before the pro-Ozempic doctors even came on. He definitely had a side. The reporter aside, all of the guests are experts. None can claim ignorance. Someone is lying. Someone is acting in bad faith.
Weight lifting 1-3 x per week is the answer, and protein at 1 gram per ideal body weight. Jillian knows this.
An old friend of mine from college came to visit me recently. He has always been overweight because he doesn’t eat a proper diet and he doesn’t exercise other than swimming. He started taking Ozempic a few months ago. He has lost 50 pounds but he constantly belched and farted. He even admitted that those side effects were bothersome. I didn’t exactly appreciate it either.
It gave me kidney failure & a horrible horrible rash that look like chickenpox and they itched for months and months even after I quit taking it, it takes a long time to get out of your system. Do not take this.!!!
It doesnt take a long time to get out of anyones system, the half life is well known
Dear Ms Michaels,
30 years ago, one of our very good leaders said something similar : having a better health system is, first, having a better health for people. He lost his elections.
So you're on something big here.. don't let it go!
Incredible informative. Thanks for that.
Jillian was fantastic as always 👌🏻👌🏻
Jillian Michels’ insights on obesity, diet, exercise, and sleep are, without a doubt, some of the most accurate approaches we have today. However, despite her thorough understanding of these topics, her views are too idealistic, failing to fully consider the societal and environmental influences that many of us face daily. Yes, in an ideal world, we would all follow her advice to a T-but the reality is far more complicated.
One of the biggest challenges is understanding that food can act like a powerful drug. Ultra-processed foods are designed to be hyper-palatable, which makes resisting them incredibly difficult. The grit, willpower, and careful planning required to build and maintain a healthy diet in today's world is not something to take lightly. It’s tough, especially when these foods are everywhere, and we’re constantly exposed to messages that make unhealthy eating seem normal.
While I respect and agree with much of what Michels says, we need to inject a dose of realism into the conversation. On any weight loss journey or when trying to make lasting changes to our health, temptation is always around the corner. It's easy to get derailed by social events, where ultra-processed foods are abundant. Whether it's a gathering with friends, a work event, or even a quick dinner out, these environments often present foods that are hard to resist. And for many, these little indulgences can quickly snowball into bigger setbacks. Michels is right that, in an ideal situation, we’d always bring our own meals, make careful choices, and resist the temptation. But how realistic is that in a world full of fast food, convenience items, and constant social gatherings?
The constant presence of unhealthy food options and advertising-makes it extremely hard to stick to a clean, healthy eating plan. Breaking through this is one of the most difficult challenges of modern nutrition. It's not just about willpower; it’s about reprogramming how we think about food in a society that encourages unhealthy habits at every turn.
Now, Michels is warning about potential solutions like medications for weight loss. She’s vocal about the risks of relying on drugs like Ozempic, citing serious side effects that can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and even more severe issues such as gallbladder problems or pancreatic issues. But the reality is, for some people, these medications might offer a much-needed boost to help fight the overwhelming tide of unhealthy food choices and social pressures.
This doesn’t mean Ozempic or similar drugs are a magic bullet-they're far from it. They come with their own set of risks, and Michels is right to point out that medications should never be the first resort. However, in small, controlled doses, these drugs might serve as a tool to help some people bridge the gap between knowing what they need to do and actually being able to do it. The goal isn’t to rely on medication forever, but to use it as part of a broader strategy that includes diet, exercise, and mental resilience in the face of overwhelming external pressures.
While Michels is right about many things, we also need to acknowledge the complexities of modern life. Ultra-processed foods and the societal pressures around them are difficult to avoid. We should strive to reduce our dependence on these foods, but we also need to be kind to ourselves and realistic about how challenging this journey can be. There’s no easy fix, but with a balanced approach-one that includes addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of diet and health-we can find a middle ground between idealism and reality.
Thank you Jillian! 💯 ❤
Two thumbs up to Jilian!
No pain no gain, let’s stick to fundamentals
No one can make me hate Jillian Michaels.
Ppl only have issues with her bc she is firm, accountable, and lesbian.
Shes a mouthpiece with no qualifications.
@@scarred10She is a certified nutritionist and has 30 years of experience in helping people lose weight, build strength, and get healthier.
@@Spikejou a nutritionist is not a credible qualification,its completely unregulated bunch of cowboys,a dietitan is the mimimum qualification in tgat field.She is a personal trainer.
lol I forgot she was a lesbian. What a ridiculous reason not to like her. I love her. I’ve been doing her workouts since I was a teenager
No such thing anyway as certified nutritionist - only registered dietician.
Jillian Michaels is a personal trainer not a doctor. She seems to have no problem with plastic surgery though.
RIGHT, look at her, she looks like she's been stretched too much! Lol
Keep up the fight Jillian!!!!
What was not mentioned was other factors such as poor/disrupted sleep cycles and stress. At one point in my life, I had a really stressful job (which happened frequently as a special ed. teacher), and wasn't sleeping well. I had severely disrupted sleep cycles... but I ate extremely well, habitually exhibited appropriate portion control, didn't binge eat, avoided sugar and exercised regularly with fidelity (with weights, aquatic PT, and tai chi) - ALL TO NO AVAIL!! The weight wouldn't budge... so I gave up. A few years later after my second total knee replacement surgery, I decided to eat well again. This time, the weight flew off, until I returned to work. My surgery had been postponed by 3 weeks due to covid. I'm convinced I would have kept the weight off if I'd had the proper recovery time. In hindsight, I should have taken a medical leave of absence for 3-5 weeks.
I filled my prescription for Ozempic, but haven't used it yet. I am now scared to death to start, I have heard nothing but bad about it. I think I'll try to lose the weight on my own for a month and see how I do.
All these celebrities who experience the ozembic side effects, will never openly talk about it, which will then put more people in danger to ozempic side effects.
Process foods is problem, if you don’t fix process food always be on drugs which is only a band-Aid. Hey, I started intermittent fasting which I only eat in 4 hour window plus low carb diet that helped me too lose weight. My exercise is elliptical and walking. Also, I do a 30 minute walk after I eat my last meal. My weight is between 122-125 lbs which I’m very happy to live healthy weight at age 63. Not on any prescription drugs and my doctors are amazed too. Just eat healthy proper human diet.
I have a friend who’s got a beautiful kitchen, expensive cookware (salad chef, le creuset, etc) but she never cook or use her kitchen. Everyday she feeds her kids fast food 😂😅

Before menopause and having a total thyroidectomy weight loss was extremly hard. Now with meno, fibromyalgia, insulin resistance, no thyroid, hbp, and other issues it is impossible. Body pain alone is a hindrance and menopause issues and then fibro lowers metabolism reportedly. So I am now down 48 pounds in 8 months on glp1. Exercise regularly and when I dont eat perfectly I still dont gain like before. Glp1 keeps my weight moving in the right direction despite my shortcomings.
Oh and no side effects other than some constipation early on.
My Dr has kept me on a low dose this entire time and is only just considering raising it after 8 months.
First time I agree with JM😮
Many people need nutritional counseling and support from a health coach in order to make diet and lifestyle changes.
Like all else I dont believe this is a black and white issue. Jillian, proper diet and exercise work but to those who've struggled this just isn't enough nor long lasting. If it was just that simple no one would have a problem. After weight loss the appetite can skyrocket where you feel a total loss of control over appetite and when that happens you are sunk! The weight comes back fast and furious and you end up fatter than where you started. As for the weight loss drugs I guess time will tell If they are truly a miracle or something else but if they help people who have horrible quality of life because they cannot control their weight in the long term by any means tried than this could be the game changer people dreamed of. Again time will tell.
This quickly escalated into battle of the ego. Everyone wants to be right and tear down any opposing sides. THIS IS NOT HOW WE CHANGE THE WORLD. If we can focus on the common ground we all share, we could make this world a better place. We all agree that the food industry is broken. If we could all unite and find solutions to the biggest threat to all of humankind, maybe we’d stand a chance at saving ourselves and future generations.
4:26 Absolutely NOT a simple question. But the answer is NO.
Amazing lol. I moved to Japan last November at 78.2kgs. After 7 months I lost 12kgs. How did I do that? I did it because I don’t have a car, I don’t eat fast food, and I eat home cooked food. I went back to the UK and put on 5kgs in 2 months. I didn’t have a car when I went back to the Uk and followed the recommendation to do 10k steps per day. In my mind you eat healthy food that is not processed and make sure you eat as many different fruit and vegetables as you can each day. In the UK we have a guideline that says 5 a day in terms of fruit and vegetables but in Japan it’s 30. The key is to eat as many different types of food as possible. I’m not a vegan or vegetarian so I’m still eating meat but I’m eating different meat each day. Thanks
I agree that we need to deal with the processed food issue. I think the public school food provisions create part of the problem. However, I decided to try it because I am struggling ot lose weight. I n.e.v.e.r. realized how much I'm plagued with thoughts of food until I was on it. Its like it shuts down the constant thoughts of food.
I have a question 🙋🏼♀️: ozempic has been available for a long time and was always marketed to people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes to help lower their A1C. Do the people on this panel or any of the other groups that are against it think that Ozempic is good for those with Diabetes or on the path to developing type 2 diabetes? or do they think it’s bad for everyone? I’m genuinely asking…
I can’t help but find it curious that nobody was talking about this drug until it started to be prescribed to those who don’t have diabetes…just genuinely curious why nobody was worried about it before. Does anyone know the answer to this?
Jillian has changed for the worse.
Her clients don’t keep off the weight loss. They learn to hate exercise and quit after months or years…and come back even bigger and unhealthier.
Fixing the environment has to happen but millions of folks don’t need to die early waiting for the world to move a mountain.
Her livelihood certainly is in danger…for her not to admit this shows that she is just toxic and not helpful.
Is this the same for any of the weight loss injections?
How about low carb diet for insulin resistance?
From what I understand by other researchers here on youTube (physionic being one) insulin is not required to feed the muscles during exercise, so I'm dubious about the one female doctor's comments. It happens on its own. For those of you who get regular checkups and bloodwork, I wholeheartedly recommend a fasting insulin level along with your hbA1C. There are other methods to fix obesity than getting a shot or swallowing a pill. A very simple method that is very sustainable is the 5:2 'diet'.
These drugs have saved my life. It's nearly a miracle.
In December my BMI was 34, that's in the obese category. I started semiglutide in January. Now, in September, my BMI is 25.9, this is 6 pounds away from the normal weight category.
Now I actually WANT to exercise. My body craves activity! My cravings are now controllable.
I'd rather not have to use semaglutide forever but I will if I have to. Through discussions with my doctor I've learned that it's likely that I won't have to continue forever.
Yes! To Dan’s question!!!!’
It's a lot more than just cutting out choices and moving for me.
I can't believe we have a way to make ourselves more healthy and active and you still have to shame. So smug when you don't realize the mental and physical aspects of weight.
First off before surgery..you stop the meds...with med you may have to stop meds..you also have to detox before surgery
Doctors vs. celebrities. Yeah, I’m going to go with the experts lol
Same!
Perfect example of: Mrs Dunning and Mr Kruger so confident they know more than physicians. And the ones who actually know far more because they’re actual Doctors, ultimately remained humble in their replies. While these exercise and nutrition advocates make many valid points, they exude the usual arrogant stupidity of people who think literally everything is a conspiracy and that everyone in certain fields are all suspect. Ridiculous 👎🏼
Can’t agree more they know nothing about hormones, menopause, insulin resistance, the function of insulin.. etc Julian was ignorant and rude for interrupting multiple times
A lot of people are questioning pharma more especially after covid and the vaccine mandates.
Great discussion
Go Jillian Go!!! 💪
How can you be AGAINST a healthier lifestyle? Some people can't do it via diet and exercise? Sure, but these people are the exception! Why are we pushing the general message that you need to be on medication to be healthy? I'm on Jillian's side on this one.
Julian Michaels please just shut up, you’re so uninformed on this subject. Everything she said was ignorant. You of course got your plugs in though.
Its godnto see so eone who has worked hard ro be healthy talk about this
I’m with Jillian! It’s not worth the risk. For one you’re just essentially starving yourself because you have no appetite and it comes back just as fast if not faster if you stop taking the medication plus I’m not a fan of possible stomach paralysis.
What does cigarettes have to do with ozempic.
8:45 It obviously does more than appetite suppressing, as its prescribed originally for diabetes. Not caused by appetite.
The big problem with so called healthy eating is people are told to eat low fat carb rich foods. Like oats and chickpeas which are heavily sprayed with hormones disruptive chemicals. Plus most dr have no clue what seed oils are if you ask them. Basically your on your own to figure all this stuff out and make sure your kids aren't sick before the damage is done.
Thank you Jillian AND Callie. These two doctors should lose their licenses.
Knowing all the side effects, if I could get a dr. to prescribe Ozempic to me, I would take it. My bmi is a little too low. But in order to lose weight (with pcos), I literally can only eat 1 meal, no carbs and fast the rest of the day. It's miserable and I only lose .2 lbs a day eating that way. And I exercise.
I was the same way as you. Doctor would not prescribe it to me. I now get mine from Mochi. Look them up. You have to meet with a doctor first virtually and fill out some medical forms, and then they will prescribe you the medication at a very reasonable cost.
@TherealIndie0625 thanks, I'll check it out
@@TherealIndie0625 that cost is not reasonable at all!!! We shouldn't be paying 100+ for meds. It's insane.
isn't she a fitness instructor? she probably running out of her fit ness business because of the drug 😂
Yes. Surely she is the problem not the big pharma pigs
everyone wants the quick fix, no one wants to put in the work and wants instant gratification.
This is how big the pharma industry is. For example, any negative comments on this video will get added to a database to which a hit team dispatches to, M-F.
Most people with diabetes or insulin resistance feel a lot BETTER after exercise. NOT worse! I have type 2 and exercise is absolutely magical!
I saw this last night. Thank you Jillian for speaking out against this nonsense. Next time remind them of fen phen. Everyone wants a quick fix. Banian thank you, but please rethink your choice for president!
Again thank you.

What didn't get mentioned is that the GLP-1 inhibitors also inhibit human growth hormone. Which is going to affect a cascade of other hormones and decrease someones' ability to hold onto muscle mass. Dr. Peter Attia did DEXA scans of his patients using these drugs and found that 2/3 of the weight lost was lean tissue verses 1/3 fat. So these people may actually becoming skinny fat, which significantly decrease metabolism and can lead to all kinds of issues down the road.
