I'm still motivated and will progress to Jillian's other videos after I get through the beginner workout, which I'll admit is not particularly difficult (though I still end up sweaty!). Beat the crowds at the gym this year and make fitness work for your schedule. I'm on day 14 day, and am so proud to say I have NOT SKIPPED A SINGLE DAY! I am still waiting for noticeable results, and have also been taking photos on the first day of each workout level change. Wow, great results! I've recently started the 30 day Beginner Shred because I didn't want to over commit. What type of eating did you do? Where you SUPER diligent or just a lot more careful? Seeing your real results makes me want to stick to it for sure!! This was super inspiring!! I have a handful of Jillian's DVDs but haven't ever stuck to them for 30 days. Magen Morris from Chicago on March 05, 2015: I wanted exercise to be made "normal" first - If I changed my diet at the same time, and one was hard, I'd give up both. Just exercising 6 days a week was enough for me to pay attention to and focus on, that I did not want to add diet to the mix too. Apples and almond butter are a constant favorite. I ate a lot of nuts because I love nuts, and greek yogurt with honey and pecans and shredded coconut. I ate a lot of kale salads because working out after those would mean no cramps. I still ate sandwiches, meals made with pillsbury, etc.
Does that make sense? I still ate stuff I usually ate (which, to be honest, is more healthy than the standard american diet, but still not all veggies, or anything like that), but the workouts made me eat it all DIFFERENTLY. That meant that I was just more mindful of WHEN I was eating and how much, because I wanted to avoid cramping. October 2017 in Fitness and Exercise I recently started using the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred video and I have a question for those who have been using it for a little while. Also, because I planned when to do my workout, I would eat breakfast, and wait until at least a half hour to an hour after and workout. I used to snack a lot at night, have a bowl of cereal, that sort of thing, but instead, I'd be so thirsty for more water that I would drink water instead and then not have those late night snacks. I went to bed a little earlier and as a result, stopped eating earlier at night. I'd say my water intake more than doubled. For instance, I wanted to drink more water. The initial dispute arose when Lionsgate published Michaels workout videos for free. I'll explain: I believe that the act of working out made me eat differently by craving more or less things. Lionsgate Lawsuit: In 2017, Lionsgate Films was ordered to pay Jillian Michaels a settlement of 5.8 million. :S That isn't to say my diet didn't change on its own though. I hate to admit this, but I honestly didn't change my diet at all. Hi, Magen! I'm so sorry I didn't see this sooner! Hopefully you'll see this reply.
