No wonder so many people are so confused about dieting and weight loss and end up getting frustrated and giving up. Saw Bob Harper from Biggest Loser (I'll keep my opinion on that show to myself) on a morning show this morning. He was telling women to eat 800 calories a day of mainly vegetables for 3 weeks and they'll get into that swim suit or wedding dress! The host asked if it was dangerous..his reply was no, it's only for 3 weeks...WHAT???
Here is my thought...so you get into that wedding dress, you eat 2000 calories every day on your honeymoon and BAM....it's all back by the time you are done with the honeymoon and your new hubby is wondering what the heck..haha!
Just eat healthy and move more people! Have a healthy day

Too funny! ;D0 -
The Biggest Loser hasn't helped the weight loss war at all, I think. Too many people think, they have to go to that extreme to lose their pounds. *sigh*0

LOVE the pic!!! Thats crazy he would say that on TV. No wonder Americans as a whole have an obese epidemic0
-
I agree with you! It's horrible that he's telling women or anyone to do that. Restricting the caloric intake of someone to that degree will only result in binging and you're body getting screwed up. Not cooll!0
-
That is a horrible approach.....It can't be for 3 weeks it has to be forever (not the extreme veggie thing)
It is so sad to see people so obsessed with skinny! I want to be fit...if that means I am a size 10-12 forever I am ok with that. I will not chase skinny ever again!!0 -
that's funny :laugh: and TRUE!0

That, or they think they will lose 10lbs in a week and then get frustrated and quit when they can't do it.0 -

This seems to be SO common based on the number of threads here with people complaining they only lost 2 pounds this week and what are they doing wrong??!!
Um, nothing, you lost 2 pounds.0 -
Nothing wrong with 800 cal approach. Harper's been in the business for a long time. The idea that someone would put the weight back on is dependent on the person, as anyone going back to eating like crap will put the weight on no matter what diet they do.0

And please don't post on here claiming that there's nothing wrong with eating 800 calories a day.0 -
I hate what that show represents, I've never seen it BUT I'm not a fan of any health/fitness "gurus" making millions of $$$ on the obesity problem. It's just another "fad" in my opinion.0

I just did. Don't hate because you disagree with a fitness pro.0 -
I thought this thread was going to be about bread.0

Harper cares about selling his product, therefore caters to people who want to lose weight fast and easy, the type of people who want to lose 25 pounds in a month, because their wedding dress does not fit. He does not give a rat's *kitten* about people's health, as long as he gets paid. If he did, we wouldn't be on Biggest Loser.0 -

I'll agree with you that Dr. Oz runs his show like he's always selling something but not Bob Harper. He gave you his professional advice on how to get your beach body in three weeks. Free info there, nothing to sell. Take it or leave it but don't hate.0
