Biggest loser: Former competitors have regained weight

rachel-fredrickson-before-now Before, there were few former competitors of The Biggest Loser who, invited to some TV show, admitted that they had regained all the weight they had lost and even gained a little more . Denied every time and accused of corruption, they seemed isolated cases compared to the growing success of a program that, as you may know if you have seen in the episodes broadcast in Italy, promised to make competitors lose weight with a healthy diet ( The Biggest Loser diet , here ) and a lot of movement. In the program the winner is the one among the contestants, all suffering from obesity, who loses the most weight at the end of the reality show.
Then came the official confirmation .Comparing all the contestants for all sixteen seasons, it turns out that 95% of the show’s attendees have regained weight : often not all, regaining ten or twenty kilos, and continuing to gain weight as the spotlights around. they went out.

But they are not an isolated case. They are exactly the mirror of what happens to 95% of people who start a diet : they lose weight, then take it back with interest.
The reason? If exhausting the metabolism with diet and exercise were the solution to weight problems, we would all be skinny at this point. The incredible stress that competitors go through to lose weight in no time literally ruins them.
I don’t know about you, but this story makes me pretty sad. If a fairy asked you: do you want to lose weight immediately, be fit for a month and then get back on weight, or do you prefer to stay as you are but change something in your diet to lose weight a little at a time and gain better health? ?
