in Chit-Chat
Survivor shows where the people on the show are kinda starving, but in the back of your brain, almost kind of think, "I should get lost on an island. I'll be at my goal in a week!"...? lol. For what it's worth, I'm just kidding around. I have had this thought though! Not in any kind of serious way, and I'm def. not promoting someone do this, or that it's even a good idea, just an amusing one!

    I know what you're talking about. There's that show, or Naked & Afraid where they are naked in the wilderness somewhere for 21 days. but wouldn't it be cool to be able to be on like the Biggest Loser and have 24 hours a day to do it the RIGHT way? food & exercise with the AMAZING trainers at our beckon call??? Kickin' our royal a$$es? That would be the BOMB!!! Oh and let's add in that we wouldn't have to worry about our finances or things at home, they would automatically be taken care of for us! :flowerforyou:

    I've been watching Naked & Scared and while I don't think I need to get naked and scared, I have wondered how much I'd loose in 21 days if I was stuck in the wilderness. :)

    I think on the last episode I watched they ate one snake in the whole 21 days. They could barely walk to the extraction site.

    Really? Just a snake for the whole 21 days? I can't imagine myself eating only that. LOL!

    Well I'm not sure about that episode but I have read before that they have given contestants food before. They will also provide medical assistance so I'm assuming if you're suffering from malnutrition they'll probably step in and help.

    Occasionally I will sit down and watch a show like that so I can scratch my beard and wonder how someone can be that freaking clueless. If there are animals where you are, there is food and it's never that hard to find as long as you follow a few basic rules.

    How much weight can you loose? Different for every person, but I'm sure they are loosing lots of muscle mass, Anyhow...Naked show is on Sunday nights and I can't wait to watch. Just heard of it...Being a nudist I would love to try that show as a contestant, but, I could not survive without my contact solution for 21 days as I'm blind as a bat

    My TDEE is about 1,500 calories. if I were to burn 5,000 per day on an island with virtually no caloric intake, I'd be losing about 13 pounds in a week :P

    I remember wishing I would have gotten mono when I was a fat teenager but I don't wish I was on one of those shows.

    Survivorman is awesome! So is Dual Survival! Les has "Beyond Survival" on Netflix, really interesting stuff!
