I have a love/hate relationship with the Biggest Loser. One of my biggest pet peeves about this show is that the claim to focus on the contestants so-called journeys–and they still do a good job of getting us to cry. However, Its when they cut to the a product placements that kills me. This solidifies the fact that this is a television show and advertisers need their moment to shine.

Another big problem I have with this show is that they don’t reiterate to the viewers that these people are taken AWAY from their lives and temptations and thats why they are losing crazy amounts of weight.

Think about it: If you were taken to a secluded island away from any distractions, family, fast food temptations, work, friends, etc. YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT TOO!

I wish they’d talk more about how difficult it is to lose that weight in a normal environment. Instead I hear “if I can do this, so can you!!” B** Sh**

Losing weight is as easy as you make it. Unfortunately for many people, the constant temptations around them prohibit the amazing results. It can happen, but its gonna take some serious discipline.

What do I like about the Biggest Loser?

They weight train

They eat right

They do cardio

Calories in vs. Calories Out

Thats what I like because its what we as trainers preach every single day.

Theres no drug or special drink that will do it for you. If there was, no  one would be fat.
