Jillian Michaels Extreme Fat BurnerI just found out today that Jillian Michaels, one of the trainers from the NBC show "The Biggest Loser" is now promoting her own line of fat burning pills called Extreme Maximum Strength Fat Burner. Until now I have always thought quite highly of Jillian Michaels and assumed she had a lot of integrity. I've been a fan of the Biggest Loser for a few years now and really enjoy watching how she connects and interacts with her clients. She seems to be a great motivator and really knows how to push people to their full potential. This is why I was shocked and had trouble understanding how she could put her name and face behind such a crappy fat burner. It seems like such hypocrisy! How can she sit on that show and tell people to eat well, train hard, stay focused on their goals and never give up but then turn around and promote a quick fix, weight loss product that is absolute garbage! There is no scientific proof that backs up any of the claims made by Jillian Michaels Extreme Maximum Strength Fat Burner, it's not recognized by the FDA and many of the ingredients are caffeine based. I don't know how she can endorse this product but I imagine a lots and lots of money had something to do with it.
 You can see a couple of fairly honest reviews on the Extreme Maximum Fat Burner on ConsumerPriceWatch.net and UltimateFatBurner.com.

I'm a little disappointed by her backing this stuff. We as trainers know none of this stuff is good nor does it work, and I can tell you first hand they don't cuz I've tried most of them.. all they do is make your hair stand on end.. and if you want that drink more coffee same effect! only true way to loose weight is to work your muscles, burn those calories and stay away from the crappy food!

A remarkable move from a stellar trainer who advocates that individuals steer clear of supplements that affect the nervous system in all of her books. Clearly her motivation is profitability, rather than endorsing a quality product. Comment by: TrainerDonna (10/6/2009 6:53:57 PM)
I could not agree more. I'm not that impressed with the show because a lot of the things they do for me as a trainer just don't sit well. I think it gives the general poplulation a false idea of what having a trainer is like. I was shocked to see this ad in a magazine however. Talk about selling out. I'm very disappointed. Shame on you Jillian. |
