Although this article is old, it’s as relevant now as it was then. The TV show The Biggest Loser is on and it’s still a travesty. The trainers are both morons, it does enormous harm to people’s attitudes towards weight and fat loss, the things it teaches are appalling and I’m waiting for them to kill somebody. Well years and years ago, one of the former contestants emailed me with some inside details on the show. And it all just makes it that much worse.
Feedback on The Biggest Loser
What I’m going to do below is first quote the feedback I got from the contestant along with giving my comments or thoughts on it. As an initial comment, I will say that what he sent me is interesting for at least two reasons.
- What can be accomplished in a short period when you put your mind to it.
- How unrealistic some of the changes on the show actually are relative to normal people.
