    Wowzeers. Think about it all trainers ( well most) say 2lbs a week lose is the safest. They should be on a higher calorie load, not 1000-1200 . The sad thing is that these trainers, Jill & bob are famous with books and video and people think they are exercise gods. How is it safe to drop 15 lbs in a week or in 2 weeks? Now to find out they encouraged dehydration. I'm glad this story came out. I always despised the show. And I love Caroline Rhea. Well I just got jillian's master your metabolism in the mail two days ago good to hear she messed up a load of people's metabolism for the money. Now I will shred the book.

    I've never watched the show before, I can't watch anything on TV that makes me cringe over the horrid embarrassment of such desperate, poor people being exploited for 'good' TV
    But I just cried for Kai, I really hope she gets better and realises very soon she can enjoy food and not have to worry about it, I wish her all the best.

    Yeh that's pretty awful, but I'm not surprised...producers pander to a public seemingly needing more and more extreme "entertainment". I don't know 'bout anyone else but I don't believe half of what I see/hear in the media, and the more 'popular' the programme the less factual its likely to be - cos facts are generally quite boring and require effort to understand, whereas drama is instant excitement. Brave girl for speaking up tho, and let's spread it around, it will help protect her the more people know about it. :flowerforyou:

    I AM JUST BLOWN AWAY BY THIS.

    It is a 3 part article/and a TAPED interview with Kai, who was in the Third Season Biggest Loser. (I think was the Third). She tells the true story, at the risk of being sued by the BL people, about what REALLY went on.

    Just do yourself a favor and READ THIS. Seriously, it has changed my outlook on being frustrated about my own weight loss. Someone else posted this in another area, which I subsequently lost after I went to the site and read it all.

    Totally disgusting what TV has come to.

    Wow...




    i loved this show until now...eric who lives in my home town was on tlc and he talked about how they treated him and how that once he had won and was no longer on the show they wanted nothing to do with him...very poor on there part to treat people this way..

    I'm not sure which season number we're on here, but its the one with the twins (brown team)
    Last night I watched, and was horrified to see the red team woman getting chewed out by the trainers for only losing 1lb. Seriously, WTF?

    I don't think anything would turn me off healthy eating and exercise more than what they went through on that show.

    I don't know if I'm surprised or not. It certainly explains how the losses are so big.
    The UK version has much smaller numbers on the scale each week, do we thing its cos the production is less severe?x

    I don't usually watch TV unless some sporting event is on. I've watched maybe 30 minutes of one BL show. Once I got the concept I pretty much lost interest. I know what HS Wrestlers do to eek out a few pounds on weigh in day. I can only imagine what people will do when there's money on the line.

    I haven't read the article, but knowing Hollywood being slaved to vanity and money I'm not going to be surprised by what I do read.
