Rep Power: 0 | | | Time magazine.. Biggest Loser updates.
Interesting... I'm a fan of this show, but this disappointed me I'll admit. I should have realized there's some negative aspects I hoped wouldn't be... I do think a few more have done good... Gary, Andrea.. they have websites and have adopted the healthy lifestyle...
Here's the artice... Life as the Biggest Loser - TIME

The Biggest Loser places the bulk of its emphasis on shedding pounds rather than maintaining the loss.

Contestants learn how to make healthy choices, but total-immersion exercise accounts for most of the weight loss
| I don't think i've ever been able to sit thru more than 20 minutes of a single episode because it never seemed realistic to me - I can see why now... it's not realistic... and it doesnt seem these people are learning lifestyle changes... they're going for the win at all costs and focussing on a number rather than general health.
