Who in the Public's Eye am I following

There are so many great people to listen to and or diets out there to look into.  I think in our day and age we are so much more fortunate then our parents who pretty much had the choice of the Cabbage soup diet (which I still remember my mom doing - the memory haunts me) or Weight Watchers/Jenny Craig... I am sure there were more but those are what I remember from the 80s... ohh wait and or 80s icon Richard Simmons... how could I forget him with all his fashion sense... silly Cheri!  But we have a wide variety to choose from that can also be controversial... It gets hard to choose.  Or you have people like Sensa - just sprinkle away the weight! - What?!>! The Top of list I think of well know Diets is Atkins... I have seen this diet work for people and they kept the weight off... There is the South Beach Diet - Which I have seen the results of ... and so on and so on.  I've heard alot about eating for your blood type... - So many to choose from... which do I pick? Right now I am really focused on Jillian Michaels http://www.nbc.com/losing-it-with-jillian/video/ both the show and her books out on weight loss.  Her book mastering your metabolism is the 1st books she has done on Food and Diet... every other thing Jillian has been known for is her hard tough love work out ethics.  She did an excently job on both the book and the cookbook - I have both and am more the willing to share.  The funny thing in my opinion with all these diets is how controversial they are and how opionated we can all get based on our own results or thoughts or sometimes from a friend of a friend of  sisters friends results and or thoughts.  Right now... I am Jillian motivated 100% - I look forward to her show every week and can not wait to get another dose of inspiration (Losing it with Jillian Tuesdays on NBC 8pm ).  But someone else (that could be you) can think she is a complete nut and that she is just trying to make money - We are all welcome to that -our own opinon.  I think the best we can all do is support each other and watch for signs of any problems.
On a Jillian note... I am not a fan of her Diet Pills - I don't believe in Diet Pills or the Sensa Sprinkle concept - I don't think you can buy good health - Its an action with many choices involved: ie: Food, Exercise, Etc - You may get the result of thin from a pill (odds are you won't) but your most likely not getting good health.  If your gonna do something - I say do it right! And if you don't addressing all the issues unless you plan on taking the pills all your life your gonna gain the weight back, if you work hard and deal with all the issues you are more likely to succeed in my opinionated view.
