News: Reality of Biggest Loser
I was always surprised by the amount of weight these folks would lose week after week. Hearing this really concerns me that some people may be wrecking themselves on this journey. The point is to get HEALTHIER. Destroying your body just to lose weight doesn’t make any sense. If it did, going in to get a leg amputated would be a great idea… I mean, just think how much weight you would lose.
Ok, that’s an extreme example. But if this change isn’t something sensible, it’s not going to be permanent, or worse, it could cause more harm than good.
I often thought that I would love to go on a show like this to dump weight. Now, I think I’ll stick with MY show. It’s working so far.
Thanks to my wife, Julie for sending this article to me.

I am a big fan of the Australian version of Biggest Loser. The methods are extreme, but the sight of people my size working out and not pretending it is easy can be inspiring. I recognize that the show could be misleading to someone who is young and uninformed, but I enjoy it for what it is.
