"It's also getting rid of chemicals in your food, your water - get a water filter, change your air filters, use natural beauty products, cook on iron instead of Teflon, keep your food in glass instead of plastic.

Jillian advises to go organic whenever possible, but this includes more than buying natural fruits and vegetables.

In order to get Marilyn moving, Jillian gives her a NordicTrack Incline Trainer with preprogrammed workouts and exercise DVDs to incorporate resistance training.
"It doesn't take a genius to realize that you need to eat a little bit less and move a little bit more," she tells her. Jillian wastes no time getting to the root of Marilyn's issues. "Now Jillian's coming over today and I'm a little scared!" "I just can't seem to stay with it," she cries. Marilyn admits to gaining 40 pounds since her television days, and says she's tried every diet program to no avail.
