Former 'Biggest Loser' contestant says the show ruins lives

Sounds like she just wasn't responsibly dieting and exercising after the show, and now wants an excuse to sue for compensation.
blaming the show for gaining back the weight is bullshit, despite what the show tells them they wouldn't gain back that much weight if they ate and exercise properly , and as for leaving a pension behind for a tv show is idiot , just shows more evidence that she's a moron , and that's really why she's so fat
Don't they have to sign a confidentiality waver
Until FAT PEOPLE learn not to cram everything they see in there mouths... THEY WILL CONTINUE TO BE FAT>>>>
Like they didn't ruin their own lives!
Bob Harper, LOL
people are fat because they eat too much processed food end of
I think she's full of it
Here's an idea for keeping/ getting slim: EAT LESS CRAP AND EXERCISE! And stop whining about your ' metabolism ' - A fucked up metabolic rate can be fixed with various diets - be it vegan or ketogenic. Get up off your fat ass and take some responsibility for your own life.
TBL didn't ruin a good job for you, you made the choice to leave a good job to be on the show. Whether you read the fine print or not you are not absolved of responsibility my dear.
at first, i thought it was fat britney spears
this show is ridiculous. stop messing around and go vegan/ plant based. calorie restriction meant weight gain in near future. THIS tv show is a FUCKING JOKE
Of course it was paramount for the show to keep the contestants safe. If anyone died; then what? Other than that I´m sure there is much truth in this.
To anyone who believes everything they see on shows like Biggest Loser. If you really believe that it is easy to lose a ton of weight and keep it off permanently, it is not as easy as it looks. I know from experience! Over the Summer I lost a total of 25 lbs. It wasn't easy and I lost it slowly. I went on long walks about 2 or 3 times a week. Usually between Five and 14 miles each time. One time I even walked a total of 24.3 miles! I was walking outside in the Florida heat for several hours at a time. I also went swimming for an hour or more a few times. After each walk, I only lost two or three lbs!!! Same with swimming, I only lost a few lbs each time from that to. I went on a diet and did not eat very much over the Summer at all. I didn't eat fast food, I drank 0 calorie diet soda and water. Over the entire Summer I probably only drank 10 cans of beer (That's not normal for me, I used to kill a 12 pack every week)! I starved myself for two days straight! Then I ate very little on the 3rd day. (BTW, DON'T STARVE YOURSELF! YOU HAVE TO EAT OR IT CAN CAUSE HEALTH PROBLEMS OR EVEN DEATH!!!!!) I did that because I was desperate to lose weight fast. Then I talked to a Doctor and a Dietician. I explained that I was trying to lose weight, I was dieting and exercising, etc. The Dietician said, "Don't starve yourself anymore, you'll kill yourself!" I said, "Navy Seals and Army Rangers have to do it as part of their training and they lose a lot of weight." (Ten years ago, I used to be in the Army.) She said, "Most of the weight they lose from doing that they gain it all back rather quickly after their training is done. Besides that, you're not an Army Ranger or a Navy Seal." Anyway, at the end of Summer, I got injured and a Doctor told me to stop exercising for a while and just relax until my injuries healed. When I recovered from muscle injuries in my legs and back as well as having a cyst removed on my back, the Doctor said it would be safe for me to start exercising again. However, I never got back into the routine of walking or doing a whole lot of other exercise again. Within just a few months- over the Winter, I gained literally ALL of the weight I lost over the Summer back!!! You really have to work hard for a long time to lose a significant amount of weight. It is not easy to lose it and it's even harder to keep the weight off for a long time! (Look at Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was the Governor of California. He didn't have much time to workout. What happened to him? He gained weight and stopped building and maintaining muscle mass!)
She is responsible for gaining so much weight back and being obese.
I find this interesting. But it's up to the individual after the show to maintain.
all obese always blaming.isee like her
WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT? Plant-based Diets Michael Greger M.D. · Last Updated on February 22, 2017 A significant convergence of evidence suggests that plant-based diets may help prevent and even reverse some of the top killer diseases in the Western world and can be more effective than medication and surgery. Many of the scourges of modern living might be prevented, including Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and Parkinson’s disease, age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, Crohn’s disease, gallstones, kidney stones, diverticulosis, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis and vaginal infections.
Additionally, plant-based eating may have a positive effect on abdominal fat, acne, aging, allergies, asthma, body odor, cellulite, childhood IQ, cognition, dysmenorrhea, eczema, gut flora, fibromyalgia, kidney stones, metabolic syndrome, menstrual breast pain, mood, multiple sclerosis, oral health, rheumatoid arthritis, waist circumference and weight control.
Pollutants in Meat Eating meat and other animal products may be associated with a shortened lifespans. Meat contains a high amount of saturated fat, trans fats, sulfur dioxide arachidonic acid and heme iron. Meat, fish, dairy and eggs may also increase our exposure to dietary antibiotics, industrial toxins, mercury and other toxic heavy metals, advanced glycation end-products (AGE)s, cadmium, xenoestrogens in fish and estrogenic meat carcinogens.
A plant-based diet can detoxify the body of these pollutants. Even just small steps toward eating more fruit and vegetables may lengthen lifespan.
Vegans’ Nutritional Needs Contrary to popular myth, vegans have healthy bones and higher blood protein levels than omnivores. Most vegans get more than enough protein. In one study, within a matter of weeks, participants placed on a plant-based diet experienced improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol and insulin levels, insulin resistance and C-reactive protein levels.
Vegans may have fewer nutrient deficiencies than average omnivores while maintaining a lower body weight without losing muscle mass. Those eating plant-based diets appear to experience enhanced athletic recovery without affecting the benefits of exercise. The arteries of vegans appear healthier than even long-distance endurance athletes and those on low-carb diets. In fact, the Paleo Diet may increase the risk of toxin contamination, DNA damage and cancer.
There are two vitamins people need that are not available in plants: vitamins D and B12. There is a serious risk of B12 deficiency if no supplements or B12-fortified foods are consumed. Two other nutrients to monitor are iodine and zinc. Yeast- or algae-based long chain omega 3 fatty acids may also be beneficial.
Better Nutrition Education Needed Medical training continues to underemphasize nutrition education, and patients often do not receive information about all of their treatment options. Doctors report they don’t practice preventative cardiology because they believe their patients aren’t capable of changing their diets. Kaiser Permanente has begun more aggressive efforts to apprise patients about the advantages of plant-based diets.
Other Benefits of a Plant-based Diet If significantly more people transitioned to plant-based diets, Medicare costs could drop by the billions of dollars. Plant-based diets may also help lessen greenhouse gas emissions and have a smaller impact on the environment.
Sounds like she is upset about the fact that she didn't stick to the lifestyle changes.
Why didn't she quit the show if she was so uncomfortable!?!? I'd quit no matter what they say.
