‘Keto Is a Diet Fad,’ Says Fitness Expert Jillian Michaels; Here’s What She Does To Stay Fit (Watch Videos)

Keto is no longer a diet, it has a become a lifestyle for so many people because of its miraculous effects on quick weight loss. This low carb, high fat and protein diet have become everyone's favourite. As much as people willing to lose weight are aspiring to get on this diet, even many fitness experts and nutritionists are endorsing it. However, a famous fitness expert, Jillian Michaels isn't one of them. She believes that keto isn't for everyone. In an exclusive interview to a daily, Michaels said that ‘keto isn’t for most people, it’s a diet fad’. “Keto is popular because it is helping many people manage their insulin levels. It is great for those suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome, diabetes (Type 2) and even infertility.' She further said, “Calorie management and calorie restriction is less oxidative stress, and is better for ageing and being healthier.”

Looking up at Jillian Michaels' Instagram we realised that even her social media conveys the same message. She seems to be a big fan of exotic fruits like passion fruit, dragon fruit etc. Take a look at this post of her:

I admit to being big on exotic fruit. My favorite is passion fruit, but dragon fruit, kiwi, and lychee are also top of my list. Personally I don’t love the papaya. BUT you can’t win them all. If you have a crazy sweet tooth try a ripe mango or passion fruit over organic vanilla yogurt. It helped me give up straight sugar treats a couple of years ago. Photo by @alphafoodie

And this post too shows her love for fruits:

Don’t be afraid of fruit. It’s beautiful for a reason. Eat up. Calories and chemicals make you fat. Not fruit. Photo by @skinnyhealthyfood

She also believes that 'Watermelon water/juice is the new coconut water':

Watermelon water/juice is the new coconut water - plus it tastes better, in my opinion anyway. Potassium to flush out bloat. Lycopene for glowing skin. Citrulline for better circulation - and this is just the tip of the iceberg. So pop some watermelon into your blender or juicer and drink up. photo by @sunwarriordeutschland

So simple and so tasty. Melt some organic dark chocolate. Dip fruit of choice. Garnish with shredded coconut, cocoa nibs, or dried fruit. #Drool. Photo by @Bos.kitchen
