Jillian Michaels talked about her recent weight loss book, "Slim for Life: My Insider Secrets to Simple, Fast and Lasting Weight Loss" when she visited New York with her kids.  

Michaels is the mother of two children, a 3-year-old and an 11-month-old, both of whom accompanied her on a book tour to New York.

Jillian Michaels is a fitness and weight loss guru that became a public figure through the popular NBC reality weight-loss show The Biggest Loser. Michaels commented that the show is a great platform to promote her beliefs about health and fitness.

Jillian Michaels gave some advice to those looking to lose weight in an interview, "Even if you're just standing while you're talking on the phone, you can burn up to 300 calories in a day."

That piece of advice and more can be found in her newest book. The 'Biggest Loser' star said, "It's my softest approach to weight loss."

That's saying a lot for the wellness coach, who has a reputation for grueling workouts and a take-no-prisoners approach to weight loss.

But, she wanted to take a different turn with her publication.

"I wanted to write a book where you felt like I was sitting right there with you, providing a simple solution for every problem of complaint I've ever heard," Michaels told the Associated Press.

In her new book, Michaels gives technical advice, but also more general tips like eating before going to a party or avoiding supermarket center aisles, which are generally filled with junk food. 

The new book even offers recipes for low calorie cocktails.

"I'm going to show you exactly what you need to understand, exactly what never to do, and what it looks like in your life. This is never going to be easy. But it's never gonna be easier than this."

Besides promoting her new book and raising her two children, Michaels is back on the Television show that made her a popular fitness guru.

Michaels returned to The Biggest Loser for season 14 after a two-year hiatus to help train kids and raise awareness abut childhood obesity.

The season finale will air on Monday March 18 at 8/7c on NBC.
