Quantcast Vegetarian StarJillian Michaels The Biggest Loser

SELF Magazine Party Celebrating the July 2009 LA Issue

On a recent episode of The Biggest Loser, coach Jillian Michaels congratulated a contestant for a job well done when he ditched the vending machine snacks and opted for a veggie sub sandwich at Subway instead.

Biggest Loser contestants have some great support on the show.

Michaels is a pescatarian, while Bob Harper is totally veg!

Harper pitches a vegetarian diet to the contestants on the show, or at least one that’s primarily plant based.

“I always bring up the option of a vegetable-based diet, which I call Diet A, and talk about the many easy ways to get protein, such as from beans, tofu, broccoli, and quinoa,” he said. “For the contestants who insists they need their meat, I have Diet B, which is still very heavy on veggies.”

Diet A sounds like the best way to be the biggest winner!

Jillian Michaels applies a no frills, tough talking attitude to contestants on The Biggest Loser to get them to lose fat and gain health.

She’s applying that same stringent method to do her part in cleaning up the environment, advocating green living for a better body and has eliminated all animal products except certain types of fish from her diet.

From an interview with treehugger.com:

“I have gone off the deep end on this. I find that when one has the knowledge and the means they have a responsibility to make the ethical choice. With regard to my diet, I always go organic. I shop at local farmers’ markets whenever possible. I have given up all animal products except for fish that has been ethically fished like ocean caught salmon, farmed arctic char, farmed trout, pacific cod, tilapia, crab, shrimp, and farmed oysters. I use all natural beauty products like Olive Oil, brown sugar for scrubs, avocado and ethical organic brands. My cleaning products are all green – and got rid of paper towels almost entirely and use rags instead. I use a Kangen water filter for drinking water and put in stainless steel canteens- never bottled water.”

While we love the fact that Jillian’s reduced her animal consumption dramatically, we’d love to see her kick butt all the way and be completely veg.

Hey, Jillian, why not team up with another pescetarian and do a weekly weigh in-the one with the least amount of fish on the plate wins!
