Jillian Michaels Meal Plan

Jillian Michaels was called one of the finest trainers in the world by Bob Harper and that is not a coincidence.

People who follow her advice are almost guaranteed to lose weight and her fitness and health empire continues to grow. Now her loyal followers can eat exactly the way Jillian recommends: she launched her Jillian Michaels Meal Plan, partnering with eDiets, on June 5, 2008.

Jillian Michaels Meal Plan has the food delivered directly to your door, in what eDiets calls “chills-fresh” coolers. It’s packed fresh and kept chilled until it arrives at the customer’s home. Food is shipped via FedEx for fast delivery and to maintain freshness.

Overview:

Jillian Michaels’ meal plan will likely not disappoint her fans, since it is reported to be in tune with her so far established healthy approach to weight loss, lifestyle and fitness.

The Biggest Loser trainer’s meals, "powered by eDiets," are being prepared fresh, shipped chilled and considered tasty and positively "different" by customers who are on her meal plan.

If you are already a follower of Jillian's online weight loss program, her DVDs or books, it will likely be simple to follow her eating directions too.

An individual can find in the plan an easy way to jump start or maintain their weight. It is attentive to portion size, uses fresh, quality products and meat, and eliminates trans-fats and preservatives.

Jillian Michaels is a fitness expert who gained prominence as a trainer on the NBC weight-loss reality series The Biggest Loser (USA).

Overall, Michaels has the best win/loss records of all trainers on every American and Australian season she participated in.

According to her official homepage, "Jillian lives in Los Angeles with her beloved and faithful Chihuahua, Baxter. When she’s not on the TV set, she enjoys traveling and getting involved in charitable activities. She is a celebrity advisor to National Day of Dance for Heart Health, an organization that encourages people to make exercise fun and to laugh, learn and dance to a healthier heart."

She currently hosts a Sunday talk radio show on Los Angeles' KFI (640 AM).

Jillian Michaels claims to apply only highest nutritional standards for her Meal Delivery Plan, providing customers with meals for each day of the week: breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack, that are made out of fresh products and quality meats.

She is reported to have worked in close cooperation with eDiets chefs and has aimed to create menus focused on highest quality, freshness and taste.

Furthermore, Jillian's meal plan is considered complimentary and "in sync" with followers of her Jillian Michaels Online program or of any of her fitness videos and books.
