Jillian Michaels tell her weight loss at LA Times

Jillian Michaels has fired back at a scathing LA Times op-ed by an experienced personal trainer who critiques her education,her techniques and her claim that people can lose five pounds a week with her fitness DVDs.The author quotes several other personal trainers who take issue with her form on her new kettle bell DVD,calling it both difficult to follow and potentially dangerous.It's not a measured critique and gets pretty nasty and personal at times.

The article goes on to slam Michaels' claim that you can lose five pounds a week with her workout,and explains the many ways this is both unhealthy and unrealistic.

The trainer in that video,Jude Howe,says Michaels' technique is poor and relatively unsafe and discusses the technical reasons why you shouldn't do the workout the way she shows it.I've never worked out with kettle bells but they seem really dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.These are very heavy weights you're swinging around and you have to maintain proper form in order to avoid hurting yourself.

In response to this article,Jillian says that of course she's well trained and keeps up with her continuing education classes.She also threatened to sue the LA Times for publishing that piece. She said it's"libel" and"defamation."Shame on the Los Angeles Times for saying I'm a fraud and not a trainer.

That article had a lot of very specific critiques of Michaels' form while teaching kettlebells and it wasn't about her lack of training in general,although it did take some cheap shots in that direction. Is she going to sue all the trainers who gave quotes saying she's doing it wrong? It seems like they're on to something.

She may not exactly be acting the part of a personal trainer and she's surely experienced in that field. If she doesn't know how to teach kettlebells properly she shouldn't be making DVDs with dangerous moves that could potentially injure people,is all.Michaels is currently facing several lawsuits over false claims on her dietary supplements,weight loss pills,and"detox" powders.

Eating three bananas a day could reduce the risk of a stroke

Eating three bananas cuts your risk of a stroke,scientists say.A banana for breakfast,one for lunch and one in the evening would provide enough potassium to reduce the chances of suffering a blood clot on the brain by around 21 per cent.

The findings,by British and Italian researchers,suggest thousands of strokes could be prevented by the consumption of other potassium-rich foods such as spinachnuts,milk,fishand lentils.

Although some previous studies have suggested bananas could be important for controlling blood pressure and preventing strokes,results have not always been consistent.In the latest research,published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology,scientists analysed data from eleven different studies dating back to the mid-Sixties and pooled the results to get an overall outcome.

The average banana contains around 500 milligrammes of potassium,which helps to lower blood pressure and controls the balance of fluids in the body.Too little potassium can lead to an irregular heartbeat,irritability,nausea and diarrhoea.

They found a daily potassium intake of around 1,600 milligrammes,less than half the UK recommended daily amount for an adult of 3,500mg,was enough to lower stroke risk by more than a fifth.

Researchers from the University of Warwick and the University of Naples said potassium intake in most countries is well below the recommended daily amount.But if consumers ate more potassium-rich foods and also reduced their salt intake,the annual global death toll fromstrokes could be cut by more than a million a year.

Researchers said in their report: 'It would translate into a reduction of as many as 1,155,000 stroke deaths a year on a worldwide scale.'Strokes, which are usually caused when a clot forms and blocks the blood supply to the brain,kill around 200 people every day in the UK.

Many more are left disabled and in danger of a second or even third attack which could kill them.Treating and looking after the 100,000 people affected by strokes each year in the UK costs the NHS an estimated £2.3 billion.Only cancer and heart disease kill more people.

A spokesman for the Stroke Association said: 'This research suggests eating lots of potassium-rich foods,such as bananas,dates and spinach,could reduce your risk of having a stroke.

'High blood pressure is the single biggest risk factor for stroke and past research has indicated that potassium could help to lower blood pressure.'This could go some way to explain the positive effects of potassium demonstrated in this study.'
