You will have in mind the The Biggest Loser program : it is a sort of reality show in which decidedly obese competitors compete in a competition to see who loses the most weight, making a diet and training program inside a home, in which coaches, coaches and personal trainers follow them around the clock. Whoever loses the most weight wins. The television program, also broadcast in Italy on Cielo, was often in the eye of the storm: for many it was judged uneducative, for others it was seen as a way to teach the spectators a correct diet, too, who met with competitors for the first time dealing with “healthy eating”. There is also a The Biggest Loser diet, absolutely balanced, of which I have given you a simplified version here.

Too bad that the program is a sòla according to its former participants: the criticisms of the educational usefulness of The Biggest Loser would be joined by those of those who have been there and who ensure that all that glitters is not gold. Competitors talk about secret diets with baby food to force weight loss , girdles under the suit to increase sweating during exercises, torturer coaches who would encourage physical activity even during injuries , and rigged scales for transmission weighs, while some weight loss were considered drastic and diseducative. In short: the show has big flaws and not always the end of a thin body justifies the means. Especially since people’s health is in the spotlight.
