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.

The five laws of lasting weight loss

Not long ago the secret to losing weight seemed straightforward: just give up bread.Not long before that, it was all about avoiding fat.And when those theories sprung leaks, a long list ofdiet fads was there to fill the holes-cabbage soup,grapefruit, avoiding carbs after 5pm...the list goes on.To help you stop diet-hopping,we've peeled away the layers of hype to reveal the core concepts and surprising science behind what really works for weight loss. Here are five laws for hitting your perfect weight-and stay lean for life.

Don't crash diet
And not just because you'll get so hungry that late-night fridge raids become inevitableYour body thinks you're starving when you lose too much too fast.So instead of burning kilojoules, it conserves them in the form of fat.In fact,as many as half of the kilos you drop during crash dieting come from muscle,not fat.And because muscle stokes your metabolism, losing muscle means you'll burn fewer kilojoules.

Focus on food over exercise
Working out is essential to fitness and feeling good, but it's not the be all and end all. "People don't understand that for every 20 minutes of aerobic exercise you do, you burn around 400 kilojoules.That doesn't give you the liberty to eat anything you want," says John Jakicic,chairman of the Department of Health and Physical Activity at the University of Pittsburgh in the US. You can wipe out one exercise session with a Snickers bar.

Diet for life
"Diet" comes from the Greek word "diaita" which means "a manner of living." By that definition,your work isn't finished when you reach your dream weight.The stats tell the same story. More than 90 per cent of people who lose weight eventually gain it back once the diet is "over." When you weigh less, your body doesn't have to work as hard to move around. So-and it pains us to say this-you burn fewer kilojoules as a size 12 than a size 16.Which means you need to eat less to stay that smaller size. The good news: if you add more exercise you won't put weight back on.

Chuck out diet shakes
Repeat after us: meal replacements don't work.Those chocolatey shakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner,bars that promise to replace your meal...put them down and save your cash. OK, they might make a tasty snack, but they don't teach you how to eat healthily in the long term and it's unwise to think you can live off milkshake and chocolate bars instead of real food. "There is no randomised controlled long-term scientific evidence that using meal replacements helps people to keep weight down," says Dr Sainsbury-Salis. "On the contrary, there is emerging evidence in the opposite direction; that meal replacements can contribute to eating disorders." Plus losing weight at a very fast rate may increase your risk of developing gallstones (clusters of solid material in the gallbladder that can be painful).

Just eat
The multitasking insanity of our lives creates a culture of convenience. Just look at the array of foods-from snack chips to soup-packaged in containers that fit neatly into car cup holders. This may make the next piece of advice a little hard to take, but: whenever you eat, that should be all you do. In a 2001 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition,women ate about 200 kilojoules more at lunch when they listened to a book on tape than when they ate alone with no distractions.A Finnish study found that only 20 per cent of subjects ate because they were hungry; some noshed to have something to do while reading or watching TV.

Gwen Stefani Covered on Elle UK Magazine April 2011

Gwen Stefani is on the cover page of April 2011 issue of Elle UK magazine.Photographed by Matthias Vriens-McGrath,she is looking drop dead gorgeous on the cover page.Anne-Marie Curtis,ELLE Fashion Director,styled the singer in a simple,sheer gown by Lanvin. ELLE Fashion Assistant,Amy Bannerman told us,"We wanted Gwen's look to be classic,glamorous and slightly forties with her hair parted to the side and signature dark lip."

The singer and fashion designer's covering the issue for the sake of it, so far as I can tell. It's been a while since the release of a solo or No Doubt album of new material and it's not like she's acting too.Perhaps for the same tenuous reasons a pre-pregnancy Victoria Beckham scored her covers the last year,Stefani covers the latest issue looking pretty.
41-year-old L.A.M.B. designer and 'No Doubt' singer talked about many things in this issue like about her fitness,beauty routines and reveals how she keeps her body with a grueling fitness regime five days a week.

Gwen is gracing two covers for Elle,one is the subscribers cover and second is the newsstand cover.Styled by Andrea Lieberman,Gwen poses in a demure and stylish way sporting a pale mocha-colored dress with a split up her thigh as she lies across the floor.

Gwen is looking amazing on the cover as well as inside photoshoot for editorial titled"Love Fashion Music Baby", thanks to her signature blonde locks and red lips.Talking to the U.K version of Elle Magazine, the sexy singer said: 'I workout five days a week, I can't imagine not doing it.I'd like to have no rules and eat what I want, but I've learned over the years that I'm so disappointed when I can't wear the clothes I want to wear.And if I let myself down,appear on stage when I'm not looking my best, it's not fun for me. I just beat myself up about it.'

In the interview,conducted by her friend Shirley Manson of Garbage,mother-of-two admits she doesn't leave the house with a full face and said:'I wear make-up every single day; I like to wear make-up for Gavin and I don't feel energised till I've put it on, then I'm ready to go.'

On British culture: "It's really weird becoming a part of it,because I was always such a fan!When I discovered music, it was all about the UK…Madness,The Specials,UB40,Depeche Mode,The Cure and all of that 1980s music that I worship.The music that they wrote was so English, it was so about their world,I thought it was the coolest thing ever.When you grow up in Orange County,you never think you'll go there.The fact that I ended up with this English guy is really weird. I don't know how that happened."
