Biggest Loser Club

Do you know if they get paid to be on the Biggest Loser? How can they afford to be on that show for 3 months without income?

How long do you give the contestents to loose weight? How can I get my family on the show the biggest looser?

They workout nearly 5 hrs a day. I’m not sure of the calories they intake, but the trainers work with each person individually and while it is someone else’s turn you are required to be on a cardio machine. This is a very realistic diet. I personally have lost 35 lbs in less than 3 months. I work out once or twice a day, I have a full time job and go to school full time and raise 3 boys, so needless to say I can’t spend 5 hrs in a gym. I’m getting results of 2-3 lbs a week, sometimes a little more sometimes a little less. I recommend buying the books, you don’t have to join the website unless you need that sort of support.

do we have snacks on the biggest looser diet? and what kind

When Dee asked what is sauce, Kari said that it was dressing. What kind of sauce or dressing are they talking about?

i need to know how i get motivated in exercing

What is sauce?

Maureen, I have been watching The Biggest Loser for the past 3 yrs. I have read Bob Harper’s site and he says the reason they lose so much weight in one week is because they have no other committments there. They have no job, no kids to look after, no chores, no going out and socializing with friends and such. All they do there is eat and exercise, eat and exercise non stop. But they do have nutrionist there to help with there meal planning and stuff. They do have doctors on hand in case something goes wrong. He also states that you do not try this plan at home, losing 1-2 pounds a week in enough, because you do not have nutrionist or doctors on hand. I hope this helped.

To lose a huge amount of weight you have to cut back and exercise hard. The reason why experts recommend a slow process because people look for a quick fix. I’ve lost 20 lbs in 3 weeks which is a lot of weight for one person in a short time. I wasn’t as have as some of those contestant but I exercised twice a day M-F weight training and eat low carbs. I have no health issues. Most people would do some crazy diet to lose a lot of weight in a short period of time. So its safer to tell people 1-2 lbs a week like that you can monitor your body to see how everything is doing. It is safe to lose a lot of weight fast with proper diet and lot lot lot of exercise some thing people don’t like doing. The number one problem is we (myself included) do not like to exercise. If we exercise just as hard as we like to eat we wouldn’t have any problems being health.

i bought the book online. and tried it for about two weeks and could tell a difference, but my life is always on the go so i never had time to cook the food properly and ended up eating the same things alot. but it can work

The TV show says that they are under constant supervision, making it possible for them to lose that weight, us at home are not. But I would assume if you follow this program exact, your calorie intake should be about what is needed for the exercise you are doing.

When you join an online club you are still essentially doing everything on your own. Using the website for guidance and motivation. On the show each contestant has a team of doctors, dietitians, and trainers to watch over them while they are losing those large amounts of weight. Unless you are able to surround yourself with a team of people it is safer to keep it “slow and steady.”

I actually have a question, since Jillian’s website and other Biggest Loser web sites refuse to respond to my genuine question, and that is: If we’re told since the dawn of time that 1-2 pounds of weight loss per week is the only healthy way to lose weight, and if you DOUBLE that, it would be 2-4 pounds per week, and is supposedly too much, too soon, then how can the contestants lose 10, 20, even 32 pounds in ONE WEEK, just for ONE PWRSON, and supposedly be healthy?! It boggles my mind!! I am, indeed, tremendously motivated by seeing that, but can’t reconcile conventional wisdom, INCLUDING JILLIAN’S newsletter, where she says “SLOW & STEADY” at 1-2 pounds per week is the only way to go… Can anyone please help me? Why does Jillian say one thing in her newletters, and another is going on at The Biggest Loser? The cast would always be depressed if they lost “only 8 pounds for the week” — How do they lose double digit weight loss in one week? And why is it healthy to do that? At first, I thought it was because they were SO overweight, they lost a lot, but just last night, they are slim now, and they all lost double digits (11–15 pounds EACH) for one week… Please, Someone, help me make sense of this!!! Thank you, Maureen in southern California
