Celebrities are really worked up about Jillian Michaels’ Keto Diet disrespect
Last week, celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels dissed the Keto Diet pretty hard. Jillian doesn’t understand why anyone would think Keto is a good diet in general and she explained her reasoning. While Keto seems like such a strange diet (to me), I do believe that if you have certain conditions and you’re under the supervision of doctors and dietitians, perhaps Keto works for you and God bless. What I don’t understand – and what I think Jillian Michaels was saying – is that the average person probably shouldn’t just “try” Keto as the latest fad diet, because it might wreck your health.
After Jillian’s comments went viral, several high-profile Keto-followers yelled at Jillian. Apparently, Andy Cohen is a Keto Dieter, and he called her a “jackhole” for dissing his diet. Al Roker hate-tweeted Jillian too:

I just think everybody is going about this the wrong way. I’m not a huge Jillian Michaels fan, but I always appreciate it when someone speaks up about a fad diet which is being misused by celebrities. I appreciate Al Roker’s point of view, which is that Jillian bullies people and that doesn’t work either. And now… Keto-follower Jenna Jameson is getting involved in the conversation. Last night, Jenna posted this on Instagram:
Let’s talk intuition. I have found that people get scared into overthinking keto. That if they intake too much protein, or don’t have the correct macros they will fail. I call bullsh-t. Trust your intuition and your body. Stop buying foods labeled keto and MAKE your own foods! Buy whole foods. Eat until satiated and implement intermittent fasting. YOU WILL LOSE. Not only will you lose, your skin will be tighter and brighter, your mind I’ll fire on all cylinders. I am not pushing a product, I’m only pushing my way of thinking and my healthy lifestyle. I love you

She also has a Keto Diet Instagram – which you can see here – where she shows off the Keto-approved meals she makes. Jenna gained a lot of weight with her pregnancy, and she used Keto to lose the weight (which she shows off in a side-by-side photo). She also has tons of time to make her own meals and if that works for her, again, God bless and I really don’t care. For me, I understand the testimonials of “if you follow it strictly, you’ll lose weight.” I get that, and I get that there are a lot of people for whom “weight loss” is the singular priority. But my question is the same as Jillian Michaels: at what cost? It really does seem like if you follow Keto for any length of time, you’re doing long-term damage to your health. But what do I know, I had a big bowl of pasta for dinner last night.
