Why the ‘Biggest Loser’ Has Had Mixed Reactions!

It is no surprise that “The Biggest Loser”, a reality show that focuses on quick and constant weight loss over a small period of time, has become immensely popular worldwide. And it has of course, inspired thousands of people to check into weight loss supplements and exercising units – which they wouldn’t have had the show not come on air.



However, not everybody is pleased with the theme and the leit motif of weight loss in the show. The fact is that rapid weight loss, with the kind of hard and strenuous exercise regimen advertised in the show can actually cause more damage than good for obese people.

From heart attacks to edema, from depression to fatigue, all of these factors can contribute to the deteriorating condition of an individual rather than slimming him/her down.

And this is not the only argument that critics and experts are leveling against the show. “The Biggest Loser” advertises quick weight loss, which is not tracked once the participant leaves the show. As it appears, a huge percentage of people gain on the pounds they lost on the “Biggest Loser” ranch, some weighing even more than they did before participating in the program.

So, even though it may all seem glitzy and starry, weight loss is not about a contest to be won or $250,000 to be pocketed. Your health is much more worth than the prize money offered on the show – any which way you may look at it. So consult your physician, choose the right weight loss supplements and exercise regularly.

For only these elements can help you lose the weight, and stay slim. Not some random contest on TV!
