Fat Loss for Idiots

I finally got a chance last night to finish watching The Biggest Loser. I am going to try to devote a couple posts a week to the show as I believe that it is one of the most motivating fitness shows possible.

The premise behind the Biggest Loser is that you will get interesting TV if you get 16 grossly overweight people, two personal trainers and a kind of survivor like atmosphere that you will get great TV. Well not surprisingly when you watch it really does work. There are two teams, a women’s team and a means team and the motivation to lose week is that the team that loses the lowest percentage of bodyweight for the week gets a member of their team kicked out. There are two personal trainers one man, supporting the women’s team and one woman, supporting the means team.

These people on The Biggest Loser have a lot of weight to lose and there are several things that they did to get started:

1. The Biggest Losers have a really big reason to lose weight and improve fitness; one wanted to do it to get back his physique from when he was almost a state wrestling champion, one girl wanted to get married and thought that the weight loss to get into a nice wedding dress would be motivating, one guy and one girl that are cops thought it was unsafe out in the field to be as out of shape as they were.

2. The Biggest Losers have a special diet generated for them. The men are eating 1500-2000 calories a day and the women are at 1200-1500 calories a day.

3. The Biggest Loser diet does not have any refined foods in it so no white bread, white rice or other “processed” carbs.

4. There is an expectation that everyone on the Biggest Loser will exercise most of the day and rest a lot at night. The trainers push them hard for hours.

5. All contestants on the biggest loser are on a ranch isolated from real life so there are no distractions and they can compete with no pressures from the outside.

6. The most important part of the regimen on the Biggest Loser is the training of the peoples thinking. All contestants know exactly what they have to do for the rest of their lives as far as motivation, attitude, exercise and eating are concerned. Everyone on the show knows that they are going to be successful because of their actions and the trainers are only a tool for them to lose the weight and improve their fitness.

I will try not to be a spoiler but at this point you should have watched the show if your were going to. The average weight loss in the first 10 days was 6.5% so this means on a 300 pound man the average loss would have been about 20 pounds. This is truly amazing but if the show plays out like it did last season there are good and bad weeks and we all know how good the first week on a diet tends to go.

      Hello.
      My name is Maria Lusia Santos. my phone number ———-. I live in ————-. It even hard for me to get a job because of my weight. Or even a man because they rather have a thin latina not a fat one. They will date me if I was thin. That broke my heart and the wilol to live or what to live. I’ve seen cousalors they are no help. I’m a single woman that would like to be on the show that help me lose my weight before my heart stop ticking or die. It hard for me to lose the weight because of my asthma stop me for doing the things I love like walking, hiking and other things. It hard for me to walk to a block even a mile. Who can I talk to about being on the TV show The Biggiest loser, The Swan and Extreme Makeover.

    27. Hello my name is Patti I am a 43 yr old female I weigh in at 310 pounds that is after loosing 100 pounds. I am writing to you because my son Eric wants to be on the biggiest looser he said not for the money but for the support, and to learning a healthy way of eating. My son Eric has had a rough 5 yrs with divorce and a couple of step moms. Eric lives to eat instead of eats to live I and his father are guilty for his weight. Eric is 17 years old he is 6ft4 and weighs in at 365 pounds I have tried many things to encourage him to exercise even to the point of walking 5 miles a day and nothing works. My son is bullied every day at school he is called all sorts of fat name some I can’t repeat bouble butt, Free Willy, ETC. I would pick him up at a gas station across the street from his high school and here the kids making cow and pig noises at him it is heart breaking what kids (young adults) do to one another.
      My Biggiest fear is that Eric’s father had triple bypass at the age of 33 I don’t want my son to die or have triplebypass at an early age. his father is also diabetic which I believe is the next step for my son which I do not want to see. I have been every where trying to get help and every one tells us weight isn’t medical it’s a choice, I don’t fully believe that but the part of me that does tells me that we need to learn to eat healthy. Please help me help my son
      Sincerely Patti Skelcher
