About Jillian’s diet, we can say that she eats healthy. In order to build such a sexy body, you need to seriously look into your diet. When it comes to women, it’s especially important to know what your body needs and from there, to pick and stick to a well-planed food regime. Building muscle for a female is a way harder process in comparison to a male.
