Weight Loss Shows

[wannabemeso]

Everytime I see a weight-loss show - The Biggest Loser, Heavy, I Used To Be Fat - I just can't get over how much they still push the low fat theory.

Does anyone know if they've ever tried to push a LC/Keto show like that? I know Jimmy Moore was trying to do so, but to no avail.

I guess the fact that the weight loss would be almost effortless in comparison, it wouldn't make much sense for them.

I think that it is possible they know better but so much of the public believes you have to go low fat and it probably appeals to the viewers more than challenging their ideas. Hell as big as those people are putting them at any deficit will give great results.

Yeah. Doing just about anything would lead to weight loss.

this just reminded me of the biggest loser that was on a couple of weeks ago...They basically made them spend like 5 minutes in a room with bunch of tables filled with thousands of chocolates.

I'd kill whoever came up with that idea. After what those people have been through to get where they were, that just seems cruel. but it was funny watching a couple of those guys go in there and shove so much chocolate in their mouth that they had trouble swollowing it...lol

I never watch these shows... but I do believe that its easier for some people to stick to a 40/40/20 than it is for them to stick to a ketogenic or low-carb diet. Also many people, especially those with heart disease in their family, simply will not accept that a high fat diet can be healthy because doctors of have told them to stop eating bacon or whatever.

Makes for good TV I guess. And they must find people with the weakest self-control in the country. Like seriously, on a ranch where your sole existence is to lose weight, not to mention everyone's seen you with your shirt off and knows exactly how much you weigh, and 10+ million people will be watching you, and you can't control yourself around candy?

What the...

I swear, if I were on a show like that, I'd win hands down. Easily. There'd be no question that I'd give 110% the entire time. Some of those cats don't even wanna be there. Then why friggin sign up?!?!?!
