I think I've said this at least a hundred times to patients; The Biggest Loser is a joke! There are a lot of ways to lose weight, but only one way to maintain a healthy body weight. You must slowly adopt sound nutritional practices (low carbohydrate, moderate fat and protein) brief,intense weight training coupled with adequate rest. I have seen enough of the aerobic queens with bad knees and runner with multiple lower extremity degeneration to form an opinion on the subject. Bodybuilding guy isn't much better with the separating of body parts. Like the body knows you trained legs yesterday and today is chest and triceps?
So why is Biggest Loser a joke? They absolutely torture those people. I am shocked no one has stroked out yet. Could anyone maintain that 24/7 assault? They over consume polysaccharides, under consume fats and over train like nobodies business. The stress of the training volume alone is enough to send the cortisol levels thru the roof.
On the Subject of Biggest Loser, Jillian Michaels is being sued by a woman who used a nutritional supplement (I am using the term very loosely) she endorsed and guess what; it didn't work!
