Jillian Michaels would like to put America’s budget on a diet.

The former Biggest Loser coach has joined the Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine in an attempt to convince Congress to reduce funds that help subsidize less healthy food and the producers of those products.

In a letter to House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Michaels wrote, “Cutting subsidies for unhealthful foods would trim the nation’s budget—and Americans’ waistlines.”

“Some of our government’s current policies and programs actually promote obesity and other diseases by supporting the production and consumption of the very foods that contribute to… health problems.”

Jillian Michaels is gracing the cover of the May 2011 issue of Shape magazine.

The pescatarian who’s leaving The Biggest Loser after this season to work on promoting organic farming told the magazine she rates the foods she eats on a scale from 1-10. Some foods are junk foods, but they’re moderately rated junk foods, so she lets herself cheat with them.

Of course, a little vegan junk food here and there couldn’t be that harmful.

A behind the scenes interview with Jillian Michaels as she films an ad for So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverage’s “Change Your Milk. Change Your Life,” campaign.

Michaels will be representing the vegan beverage, with the campaign to launch next year.

Michaels discovered the beverage while looking for non-dairy, milk alternatives in the grocery store and was impressed by the drink’s nutritional benefits, as well as the company’s ethics.

“I read the label, I scrutinized it from top to bottom and I compared it to every single thing on the shelf from dairy to non-dairy products. What I particularly loved were all the health benefits. No pesticides. The coconuts are no genetically modified in any way. In addition, there’s Vitamin D, there’s calcium, there’s medium chain fatty acids, which are great for your heart health, its low in calories…”

Is this why some of calling coconut the new soy?

Jillian Michaels "So Delicious"

Jillian Michaels has been chosen to promote vegan So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverage produced by Turtle Mountain, the maker of So Delicious Dairy-Free products. Michaels will be featured in a campaign, “Change Your Milk. Change Your Life,” that will go live nationwide in January 2011.

The Biggest Loser coach discovered the beverage in 2009, and has been a loyal fan ever since.

“I loved it straight away,” Michaels says. “What’s not to love? It’s naturally energizing. And, the health benefits and the taste are outstanding. I put it in everything. My tea, my granola, in my smoothies, straight up — you name it.”

Jillian Michaels is asking parents to join her in writing to their representatives in Congress in support of H.R 5504, the Improving Nutrition for America’s Children Act.

The bill would make more plant based meals available to students, as well as more fresh fruit and vegetables, improve safety conditions and make more children eligible for free or reduced lunch. The points are highlighted on the house.gov blog and include just a few of the following.

• Establishing more farm to school programs and school gardens to connect children to local produce.

• Improving food safety requirements in school settings, including better training for food service workers on food safety and quicker recall notification of foods.

• Enroll children in school lunch programs through Medicaid/SCHIP data instead of requiring extra applications.

The bill also wants to provide the first increase in reimbursement for meals in 30 years–by a rate of 6 cents per meal.
