Biggest Loser Trainer Shares Tips on Today Show

I love Jillian Michaels so I paid attention to the advice she dished out on the Today show about how to live a  healthier lifestyle.  She answered questions from viewers on the air. 

The first woman said that she and her husband are truck drivers and they basically live in their truck.  Since they don’t have much time for exercise, she wondered what they could do to to get healthy.  Jillian said that it’s very important to watch what you eat when you live a sedentary lifestyle.  She suggested bringing your own food, picking better restaurants and being high-maintenance with your food by asking that it be grilled or by putting the dressing on the side.

One new mom explained that she’s tired a lot of the time and she wondered what the best energy-boosting foods were and what types of exercises might work best for her.  Jillian said to stay away from processed foods and sugars while consuming fruits, vegetables, whole grains, organic protein and at least 80 ounces of water per day.  Up to 200mg of caffeine today is equivalent to 75 minutes of sleep and can be great for cognitive functioning.
