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?

I always thought the show wasnt fair nor giveing out the right way to lose weight but when I joined to gym I was eating a balanced meal 4 times a day plus a veggie snack if I needed it.I sreiously did my best to do the same kind of work outs they do on the show...OH heaven forbid I ever do thay again cause it took me two weeks to get over two days.The gym manager even gave me the riot act over it...I lost a pound a day but it made me one sick person...
