Fitness guru Jillian Michaels has hunkered down on her assertion that the keto diet is a no-go, after she was slammed by Andy Cohen and Al Roker for calling the fad a ‘bad plan, for a million reasons.’
The 44-year-old invited the hosts to a ‘civil intelligent debate,’ after they both raised questions over comments she made to Women’s Health magazine.
‘I don’t understand,’ the Biggest Loser host said. ‘Like, why would anybody think this is a good idea?’
Jillian Michaels had voiced her disdain for the keto diet in an interview with Women’s Health Magazine
The fitness guru’s comments drew hate from Andy Cohen and Al Roker
Michaels added that the low carb/high fat diet ignores that ‘your cells, your macromolecules, are literally made up of protein, fat, carbohydrates, nucleic acids,’ AJC reports.
‘To make a very long story short: Avoid the keto diet,’ she added. ‘Common sense.’
Cohen took Michaels to task during last Wednesday’s taping of ‘Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,’ giving her the title ‘Jackhole of the Day.’
‘Don’t feel bad, keto diet,’ he added. ‘A lot of people think Jillian Michaels is a bad idea.’
Al Roker said: ‘So @JillianMichaels says #Keto is a bad idea. This from a woman who promoted on camera bullying , deprivation, manipulation and more weekly in the name of weight loss. Now those sound like bad ideas’
Michaels took to her own social media, on Friday, and responded: ‘I have an idea… @Andy @alroker how about a civil intelligent debate on The 6 Keys book and keto instead of personal attacks and name calling? I’m also a motivator and I know you guys can do this’
The sentiment was shared by Al Roker, who posted on Twitter: ‘So @JillianMichaels says #Keto is a bad idea. This from a woman who promoted on camera bullying , deprivation, manipulation and more weekly in the name of weight loss. Now those sound like bad ideas.’
Michaels took to her own social media, on Friday, and responded: ‘I have an idea… @Andy @alroker how about a civil intelligent debate on The 6 Keys book and keto instead of personal attacks and name calling? I’m also a motivator and I know you guys can do this.’
She would later post a video that was directed towards Roker. In it, she mentions how the two have known each other for years and talks about their mutual ‘respect’ for each other.
‘If you want to debate the science of keto, then by all means let’s do that,’ said the health expert. ‘But the personal attacks are bizarre, and unnecessary. It’s uncalled for, right.’
Michaels would continue by citing her book, ‘The 6 Keys’, when describing how ‘nutrition is more than about weight loss.’
‘I am here to discuss it with you,’ she added.
The Keto diet is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat plan.
Those on it are required to cut the amount of calories they consume by a significant amount, while eating plenty of fatty foods like fish, meat and eggs.
Michaels later posted a video to Al Roker asking him to read her book so they could discuss the diet
