Hi Healthy People!

I don't know how many of you watch 'The Biggest Loser'.
I have, it is quite compelling; I often get caught up in it and watch in wonder at the unbelievably speedy weight loss of the contestants.

I've spoken to a couple of trainers who absolutely despise the show because it is unrealistic, because the trainers treat the contestants horribly and because the show fails to demonstrate the importance of nutrition. The trainers I've talked to also say the techniques they (the producers & trainers) use appear to be dangerous.

It would seem (according to a former contestant interviewed for this story) that 'The Biggest Loser' is the opposite of healthy weight loss or healthy lifestyle changes.

The whistleblower is taking a huge risk by telling her story because of the stacks of waivers and legal documents each contestant signs off on.

We (here) spend a lot of time talking about making changes and choices that are healthy and sustainable.
What do you think about the show? And this article?
