I watched this years season of Biggest Loser anyway, and yesterday I saw Extreme Makeover for the first time!
So when it comes to Biggest Loser, there's 16 people and 4 trainers. They have a whole team behind them with doctors, dietician etc etc etc.. With the help of a big professional team it's easy for the participans to lose weight. When they come out from the Biggest Loser camp though, they don't have the same support, and most of them start to gain weight again.
In the show Extreme Makeover they train a client for A WHOLE YEAR!! By doing this they help the client for real. The client get's into a new rutine and learn to stick with it.
As you all probably know, weight loss and health is about creating a new rutine that you can stick with.
Sure, Biggest Loser is good to motivate people to start training, but the thing is: they make it look so easy. In real life, when you have to work, have family, other commitments, you can't train for six hours a day everyday. It's just not realistic!
I am not saying that Biggest Loser is a bad show as such, but it gives people the wrong idea about how you should loose weight. Losing that much weight that quick isn't good for your body. But saying that if you have a good medical team, dieticians and trainers with you for 24 hours/day go for it. But lets face it, who has??!
Congratulations to Emma who won Biggest Loser 2011!
