Jack GuyFrom Health<\/em> magazine<\/a> She also started her own organic garden, greened up her house, and switched to clean foods. For her, the goal is a healthy body and mind. “Fitness for me is a tool that I use to build a life,” Jillian says. “Its never about a crunch for me. I couldnt care less.”<\/p>\n And, as she resumes her role on The Biggest Loser<\/em>, now in its eighth season, she has plenty more to celebrate: a new Wii game, Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2010<\/em>; two spring 2010 follow-up books to her best-selling Master Your Metabolism<\/em>—The Master Calorie Counter<\/em> and The Master Cookbook<\/em>; and an expansion of her QuickStart Rapid Weight Loss System supplements line at GNC. <\/p>\n With the same addictive intensity she uses to motivate her clients, Jillian tells Health what she thinks we all should change in our diets, why shes not a fan of “walking,” and which celebrity she wishes she could take under her wing.<\/p>\n Q: How do you feel about being named Americas Healthiest Body?<\/strong><\/p>\n A:<\/strong> Im totally flattered. But I just think, God, if people had any idea of the stuff that goes on behind closed doors: the struggles in the middle of the night in front of the refrigerator, the weeks on end I cant get my ass to the gym! But, in reality, theres a part of me where it makes perfect sense.<\/p>\n Next Page: So, what's your definition of a healthy body?<\/a> [ pagebreak ]<\/p>\n Q: So, whats your definition of a healthy body?<\/strong><\/p>\n A:<\/strong> A disease-free body. I have a very close friend who just turned 40. She was always the hot girl with the beautiful body. She smoked and she drank, but she looked good … right up until she got diagnosed with breast cancer.<\/p>\n When youre skinny, youre not necessarily a healthy person. And when youre obese, youre not disease-free; youre struggling with fatty liver disease, diabetes, stroke, cancer, sleep apnea, acid reflux, and the list goes on.<\/p>\n Q: If you could get people to do one thing differently every day for their health, what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n A:<\/strong> Go organic. That would be the one thing—its not even exercise. Our food is corn derivatives, food derivatives, and chemicals. It is making us fat and sick.<\/p>\n Q: In terms of our fitness efforts, where do we go wrong? If I can take a 66-year-old man and train him six hours a day, six days a week, you can do more than just take the stairs! People have no concept of what the human body is really designed to do. They have no concept of their strength! And they function in a zone that is well below what their potential really is.<\/p>\n
When California-raised Jillian was 12, she weighed 175 pounds. After engaging in martial arts and working her way into a career as a personal trainer, the 5-foot-2 3\/4-inch star got her weight down to around 117 with just 13% body fat.<\/p>\n

A:<\/strong> We sell ourselves short when it comes to capability and potential. We read on the treadmill. We walk. People will be like, “Ive been walking.” And Im like, “Really? Really?” [Laughs.] “OK, you walked to the car, and then to the door at the mall, and then you took the stairs, too? Come on, man.”<\/p>\n
