While there are plenty of TV shows that give us tips for greening our homes or help people cook nutritious meals for their families, there’s also a lot of programming that shows unhealthy lifestyles. Whether it’s the cast of Jersey Shore tanning themselves into oblivion or Sandra Lee adding salt-laden seasoning packets to all of her meals, here are ten shows whose examples you should definitely not follow.

Jillian Michaels is on the cover of this month’s issue of Fitness, showing off her killer arms and abs in a bikini (she may have left Biggest Loser, but it would appear that she has not left the gym). She spoke with the magazine about leaving the show, career plans, and her body, divulging even her worst insecurity: her ass. She’s spoken about her war with cellulite back there before, but her newest interview sheds some light on how she deals with her imperfections. More
Well, well, well… is apparently going to be the new focus of the hit TV series, Biggest Loser, as it heads into season 12 with a new focus, and new celebrity trainer Anna Kournikova. The show unveiled their choice of trainer on last night’s season finale. Executive producer Todd Lubin told Vulture that they weren’t trying to replace Jillian Michaels, who announced last season that she would be leaving the show for motherhood, but he wouldn’t comment on why trainers Cara Castronuovo and Brett Hoebler wouldn’t be back for the next season, as the show had announced earlier this year. According to Lubin, the focus of the show is shifting towards overall health and well-being; away from straightforward inches and pounds. More

Oprah is officially getting in on the Biggest Loser genre of TV, starting with tonight’s premiere of Addicted to Food on OWN. It remains to be seen whether she can take on Bob and Jillian for ratings, but what we’re really wondering is whether she can take on America’s problem with obesity. Can she inspire audiences to lose weight? Will her show be a beacon of hope and source of instruction for the millions of Americans who are unhealthy, overweight, and driving themselves to early death and disease by foo, or will she simply provide entertainment that doesn’t really budge the scales? We’re hoping OWN’s brand of weight loss TV can do more for obesity than NBC. More
Even though she’s leaving The Biggest Loser after this season, we have a feeling Jillian Michaels won’t be going off the radar anytime soon. The trainer known for her brutal (and effective) workout techniques talked to The New York Times magazine about her new book, Unlimited: How to Build an Exceptional Life, among other topics (like screaming at obese contestants, and why she’s planning to adopt instead of having her own baby). Just like when we see her on television, her interview made us squirm (discussing her obese assistant’s diet: awkward) but that’s kind of why we love her. More
