- Suzanne Mendonca of The Biggest Loser's second season visited the ET set to air her grievances about the show, but not everyone agrees with her sentiments.
The second couple sound like they're reading a script, especially the woman, she sounds like she rehearsed those lines all day.
She has a point there though. The tactics used by Biggest Loser are unrealistic. That's not to say that they didn't have good pointers or support, but contestants are in an environment that is not realistic to everyday life. They should be taught to incorporate healthy eating as a lifestyle, and weight loss should be something that is slow as to prevent gaining weight back. Life's interruptions should be incorporated into changing eating habits, and that's the other thing -- these people have lived a life of making bad choices, so it's going to take a while to break a habit, reeducate and retrain themselves to make healthier choices. this is something you can't achieve in a tv show.
+Johannesburg777 Reality shows think they are Navy SEAL training.
Trainers think they are seal instructors.
😂😂😂 that's why you're famous and Jillian Michaels is working at 7-12.
People complaining about the first woman don't understand. Crash diets are not healthy, the practices they use on the show are horrible. When they put you on such low calories and high amounts of exercises your body becomes used to that, your metabolism slows down to bare minimum. Once you leave the atmosphere of tv pressure, surrounded by coaches, and return to the real world, it's a very different thing. As soon as they stop doing 8 hours of exercise, and begin to eat closer to 1800-2000 calories a day rather than a starvation diet of 1300, their body immediately begins to convert the extra into fat because the metabolism is so slow.
+|Jake|C| "as soon as they begin to exercise less and eat more they gain weight"
well yeah
domydishes My point is you can't be working out 8 hours a day and eating 1200 calories while you aren't at a camp with only that to do, it's an impossible standard to maintain.
it takes far less work to maintain a shape than it does to get to it
+domydishes You've either never lost a significant amount of wait or are and extremely low calories or just don't know what you are on about. When you diet your bodies metabolism begins to slow down this is so your body can function efficiently. If you then decide after dieting to increase your calories to maintain weight your body starts to have excess energy which it will store as fat within the body. This means people who have to lose weight in excess amounts are very susceptible to gaining a lot of weight back. So its actually a LOT harder to maintain a weight than to keep getting skinnier.
Only if you starve yourself, if you eat every 2 hours its not a problem. Ofcourse people who start to stuff their face again and barely work out anymore will gain weight. It takes less to stay in shape then it does to get in shape. It probably takes more will to never go back to stuffing your face again if that is all you want to do, but the actual physical workout takes less to maintain than it does to achieve.So you can cut back a bit but not completly. I've gone to fat to muscular. Its not something you do for a few weeks or months and stop, its a lifestyle change, and these people obviously didnt change their life. Its probably why they needed this program as well; they needed constant supervision because it was not something they could do on their own, or even maintain on their own. I spendt many hours every day to quickly shed the excess and after that maybe just 3 hoursb at the gym per week and no senless eating, at least not very often Theyre sterotypical fad dieters.This proves only that being in shape and being healthy is more of an issue of the mind than the body. They were physically able to do it, but not mentally able or willing to not go back to their old ways. The notion that these people had to live the rest of their lives devoting as much time and work as they did while on this program to simply not become obese again, is ridiculous.
Pretty much everyone seems to be attacking her, but I think she has a point. The show helps you lose wait, but the ethics might be questionable. It is television, after all.
Wait, wait, wait.. She's complaining that the show is fake because SHE was unable to keep the weight off?
+SD 619 LOL doesn't make sense right? lol
+Anthony Roberts The show doesn't promote healthy weight loss. Our bodies aren't designed to take off 30lbs in a week and remain healthy! The amount of problems that contestants have had with horrific stress fractures, organ malfunctions and failures.... it's horrific! Reason they aren't able to take it off is because their resting metabolic rate is use to 12-16 hour workouts, and such restricted calories. That when they do return to trying to eat healthy, and being healthy... their body slaps on the pounds at an alarming rate. Why? Because of the immense stress that is put onto the body to put it into a crisis like mode. The Biggest Loser doesn't promote a healthy life style, they promote instead a crash course diet and dangerous eating habits and life style habits. It's the very reason why Jillian Michaels walked from the show. After she saw how horrifically poor the contestants were being treated, and how it was they were being taught to view themselves, she vowed to not work for them.
+m16chick They don't care about what the body does, nor do they know anything about health. They just wanna make fun of her because she's fat. Most of them gained the weight back since they don't work out 8 hours a day anymore, so yeah. I'm sure these two don't work out 8 hours a day either.
shut up you're fresh out of puberty you have no idea what metabolism does to people when they get older but you will. I don't even know why God gave young people a mouth you know jack shit and you should you should just shut the fuck up
+m16chick The bigger you are the more you burn calories. If there are two middle aged women, one weighing 700 pound the other 150 pounds and they both do 30 mins of moderate skipping the 700 pound woman would burn more calories than the 150 pound woman. 1 pound of fat = approx 3,500 calories and if an 700-1000 lbs person burnt 10,000 calories that day that means they have lost around 3 pounds. If they did that amount of exercise for 7 days they will burn 21 pounds in that week.
1304 FOR A GROWN WOMEN?!?!??!!
+Jennifer Gomez It's INSANE...
+MrGHLover107 teenagers need more calories than adults.
+Ívan Skelfilegi i'm in my 30's and 5'2 and 105 lbs. If i were to eat 2000 cals a day i would be obese. Total calories are based on a number of things. (Weight, age, height, activity level, etc) It's not a "one size fits all" thing
+Ívan Skelfilegi Yes if you want to maintain you're weight and thats your normal intake
However everybody is different
the point is to eat at a calorie defect to loose weight
for myself anything less then 3500 I'll loose weight, so when I cut its around 2500cal however as someone said for them to maintain they cant eat near 2000 cal
+MrGHLover107 No, an excess of calories from any type of food will lead to weight gain.
Did she expect to be "cured?" Staying healthy is a life style, if you go back to your old habits, what did you expect to happen?
how did the trainers ever think this would work. losing 10 pounds a week is not healthy even if it's from exercising. These people ate like birds while on the show and exercised 6 hours a day. Unless that's the life you want for the REST of your life, then your obviously going to gain the weight back. If losing weight was a permanent fix don't you think there would be less fat people.
Sweet jesus ...... your logic just melted my hyperthalimus.
Alexis Pestorious if you weigh a quarter ton, losing 10lbs a week is perfectly healthy. It's hilarious when you people try to preach the 1-2 lb a week mentality when we're talking about 500-600lb people. At that rate, it would take them about 6 years to get to a healthy weight. And yes, losing weight is a permanent fix to obesity, if you have self control and keep it off
Sorry, but if you have trainers and doctors and dietitian for weeks - you have every tool to be succeed after show. The problem for these people is they don't take responsibility for their own lives.
I have lost more than 40 pounds in 4 months - workouts and change my eating habits was enough. Really, if you want change your life, you will change. If you look for an exusce, you will find one.
+aguedafescuca - If you have a hormonal imbalance and nutritional deficiencies, exercise and calorie reduction is the WORST way to lose weight. It is not solely about will power anymore. You lost 40lb in 4 months...do you want a metal?
+Todd Boden It's called a MEDAL. You really ARE dumb.
+Todd Boden Uhhhh, in what way? Exercise releases endorphin's which, if done regularly, will help stabilize the imbalance. Calorie reduction has very little to do with nutritional deficiencies. If you are eating a PROPER diet, you shouldn't have a problem with any nutritional deficiency and if you do, they make supplements for that. It really is about will power. A caloric deficit is the ONLY way to lose weight without surgery, so saying it is the WORST way is ridiculous. Please finish high school before posting on any more health related topics.
+aguedafescuca This show is completely different though, there's a reason people are dropping 20lbs in a week. Jillian Michaels left because of how poorly the executives treat the contestants and trainers will force them to work out despite injuries and against doctors orders. Show has gone downhill from the first few seasons in order to get such drastic weight loss. Many contestants on the show have severe injuries and have had to get knee surgery as well as others. Diet and exercise is great, but the Biggest Loser is extremely dangerous to the people who are on it. Psychologists have analysed contestants and have found some of them exhibit Stockholm Syndrome. It's pretty sick what they do for good ratings. There's a huge difference between healthy weight loss and destroying a person's body.
Studies have shown that most diets fail and the majority of dieters regain weight and go back to where they started after 5 years. Of course, there are the small minority who maintain the weight they gain. However, the industry that sells diet pills, weight-loss programs, gym memberships, protein powders, gym equipment, etc. etc. wouldn't make as much profit without dieters losing weight, regaining weight, and going through the diet cycle over and over again. I think it's important to think long-term and make healthy life choices regardless of weight gain/loss. Some people are perfectly healthy overweight. Some people are very unhealthy with terrible eating habits and are "normal" weight. So definitely ignore the weight gain/loss (even though social stigma will tell you that fat is bad so diet, diet, diet) and focus on healthy eating habits. Eating less than 2000 calories per day like that contestant did because some "doctor" told her to is very unhealthy. It made her lose weight but it must have taken a toll on her health.
+Soo-Jin Kweon Lol a "brofessor" questions a doctor after only seeing a 2 min clip and reading an article online
+Soo-Jin Kweon you're right, most people have the "temporary" mindset of "I'll eat this way, exercise and lose the weight, then I can go back to eating what I used to". It does have to be a lifestyle change, which means for the rest of your life. And many people in natural health say it's more the food you eat or don't eat that affects your body composition/weight than exercise (80% food vs. 20% exercise according to Mark Sisson). It doesn't have to be difficult, I wish more people could know this. Another way to exercise is called eccentric training = 20 minutes or less, just one time a week. For anyone interested, look up Jonathan Bailor.
Low calorie diets fucks up your metabolism.
Even big guys who dropped from 290 to 240pounds.
His resting metabolism dropped to 1500, which is NOTHING.
ITs hardly two fucking meals a day. A 240 pound man SHOULD NOT have a resting metabolism at 1500Calories/day.
SwordsHeldHigh Please, just stop talking.
Did I hear 1304 calories? Seriously? I know she's been able to keep it off as I'm following her but 1304 + all that exercise is starvation and utterly ridiculous!
Are you her doctor?
+MrGHLover107 Michael and MrGHLover, you are both incorrect. It all depends on your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate). An average (not athletic) 30 year old woman that weighs 150 pounds and stands 5'5" tall only needs 1400 calories a day if she is sedentary. 3000 calories a day is the amount a sedentary 30 year old male needs if he is 7 feet tall and weighs 400 pounds. This whole notion of one set number (2100 calories or 1700 calories) is ridiculous. It varies from person to person depending on size and activity level. I do enjoy that you state doctors are mass murderers though, even though the life expectancy in the last 100 years has gone up by 30 years. Please keep self diagnosing.
+Matthew Wakamatsu I agree completely with MrGHLover107. A calorie is not a calorie. A 30 year old with a few good bike rides a week can easily eat 3000 calories if it's low fat, high carb, whole food, plant based.
+balderdashery G All the broscience is yours
michael fraser not really. I'm super short so I've been trying to aim for 1250 calories a day..
The show is a joke! who works out 5-8 hours a day. I believe Suzanne because my husband was also on the show. They careless about the contestants after the show unless they need them to make them some more money!!
+siko tata Are you kidding? Why should they contact anyone after the show! Do you expect them to provide a personal chef and free personal trainers for life? WTF! Take responsibility like the many others out there who want to lose weight and do it yourself!
Hello stipV we're you a contestant. What makes me mad is that they tell the media that they still contact contestants after the show so don't come at me unless you experience it first hand. Why doesn't CZcams inform us when someone reply to my message, so I can reply back.
I don't blame biggest loser for my husband weight gain NO! I don't like the fact that they lie about contacting them after the show. They only contact them if they want more money from them. What I'm saying is they don't give a horse's behind about the contestants but they say they do!! Hello people if you never been on the show or have a spouse that was in it please save you're two cents to yourselves, and BTW if you're reading is not to the level of a preschool child please don't respond to my message cause you probably don't comprehend what is written like stipV.
'Nobody has contacted me from the show' - wtf are they suppose to monitor your weight for life?! This woman is full of excuses, and of course it's not realistic, realistically we'll see people drop like 5 pounds a week which is boring. Crazy this show has been running 10 yrs plus and people still think all the producers want is to help you, no they are there to get ratings, and you get to lose weight in the process because if you applied for this you must be desperate. Take the opportunity and use it, instead of whinging that they haven't held your hand for life.
In a way I believe Suzanne. Maybe seasons after that they made better choices on the show but you can never truly know what happened behind the scenes
i believe the first girl the second won so she is obviously bias
The fat girl was just salty because she put the weight back on. We all know the scales and the weeks are fake, that's old news (Notice they say "At the last weigh in" NOT "Last week"). If you eat baby food and dehydrate yourself that's your own decision. Be responsible for your own actions. The show can't hold your hand forever. Your an adult, act like one.
When these people get mad because they couldn't keep the weight off...what did they expect.....go back to their old ways..and magically no weight gain? If there is no medical reason for this person's weight gain, then it comes down to diet and exercise. I'm 6' 2" and my weight shot up from 215 to 230....why...because I was eating crap and did nothing to keep active this past Winter..my fault. If I want to get rid of the extra weight then I have to stop eating crap and get back to exercising and working out. But in this interview she comes across as a victim of the show. Hey the show got the weight off you. Now go out and look into eating better...and exercising on a regular basis. There's no magic..
As an overweight person myself, I understand the struggles and why our bodies won’t adapt very well when you loose the weight too fast but man. If a show helped me loose even 100 pounds, I would do anything to keep it off. Seek nutrition help, see my doctor, workout 2-3 per week. I take full blame for my bad choices and I am still trying so yeah I have no sympathy for these people. Sorry 😐
So who should the millions of overweight people who haven't been on the tv show point the finger at other than themselves? This woman is pointing the finger at the show and not being responsible for her weight gain.
It's not often these days when a news/infotainment source actually gives multiple sides of a story. Thanks.
I know I'm commenting a year late, but I don't think people understand how awful this show was behind the scenes. The contestants would starve themselves the last two weeks of the competition to lose the most weight. Most ended up with kidney infections and eating disorders by the end of the show. They also didn't care about anything but losing weight, regardless whether it was healthy or not. If weight is lost in a very unhealthy way, it will be easy to gain back one you go back to your regular eating habits, healthy or not. I'd do some more research on how cruel the people behind this show were, because it breaks my heart to see so many people permanently damaged from this. It's NOT the contestants fault for gaining back the weight.
1304 seems like a low calorie count for someone exercising 4-6 hours per day...
Omg I ate so much food and oddly I gained weight who saw that coming.
I've been watching Biggest Loser up until season 10... I lost interest and heard horrible things about the show like the first women mentioned. I totally believe her! I realize I don't know the whole story but I feel like in order for them to loose that much weight you have to work out for long hours and sweat like crazy. Totally not healthy at all and when you go back into the real world and try to eat healthy but your body still craves the nutrients you need, you're going to gain the weight back because it's not a safe method. The Biggest Loser should be cancelled based off of all of the horrible stories!
What a excuse maker. "It's their fault that I'm fat". Hello, it's a tv show. Some things will be set up. She's being ignorant.
In the end it's a show to make them lose weight fast so that they have a new set point. The eating and fitness isn't meant to be done forever. It's like anyone in training. Come on.
Some contestants don’t continue to lose weight after the show. This is because they don’t have the support that they had when they were on the show. Some people can’t do it by themselves, they need the help and support.
So you can't keep the weight off? No matter how you lose weight if you lead a healthy lifestyle after it and put on 100 pounds your eating in your sleep, no one's metabolism is that shirty that it pulls fat from thin air.
The fact is that she was a Contestant, on a TV reality show trying to Win $250,000. by losing the highest body fat %. Yes it would be nicer if you could enter a Contest like this do it healthy and keep All the weight off after, but if you were trying to win that's not very Realistic given the other variables such as other competitors trying to lose more than you, time constraints etc. (A more realistic goal would be losing around a pound a week)
"fake scales"? no sh1t... of course the real weigh-in is beforehand. Did you think it's a coincidence the order they weigh in almost always leads to dramatic moments? Doesn't mean the numbers are fake.
Yeah. And they talk about fake scales like it was the biggest crime ever :-0 So they had weighted you two days earlier. So what? Or one week was in fact two weeks :-0 Oh no, shit just got real!
But apart from that, I'm sure they do some horrible stuff on this program and losing weight this way can't be healthy or sustainable.
Welcome to America! Where we all blame others for our own mistakes!🤔😒
Ok now we know where the problem is lady, not trying to judge but you've got a long way to go if you still think it's someone else's fault you're overweight. Get out of that mentality immediately and take control of your life. Life begins when you stop whining and blaming others.
They were paid to lie! Too many of the other contestants have contradicted what that couple has to say.
Definitely! In another video, she admitted to doing cardio for 8 hours a day on the biggest loser. If you eat 1300 and do cardio for 8 hours a day, of course you will lose weight. But then the body adapts and you have to do that for the rest of your life to keep the weight off.
She still looks beautiful though I think.
I think some bigger girls can have very attractive faces. And can sometimes lose their looks when they are slim sadly. She could have some issues as well in her own self. People are so harsh when it comes to expressing their opinion against overweight people. ( the comment below me). There's more underlying issues and health conditions as to why they are so big depression, thyroid conditions, pcos and the list goes on.
Poor Suzanne needs to be true and honest to herself about what she has been eating and how much she has been exercising since leaving the show. Definitely a combination of self sabotage and the extreme weight loss methods are at fault here.
Both sides could be valid. If they were on different seasons, there could be different tools used for different seasons. They didn't bring that up in the interview, they just tried to make the bigger lady look bad. #TheWorldWeLiveIn
This is a classic case of blame projection. She stuffed her face and laid on the couch and she doesn't want to admit that the blame is hers, so she projects the blame elsewhere.
They thought you everything you need to know and you didn't listen
I eat 1,304 calories a day. When I feel hungry I tell my body to shut up and suck it up. I listen to my doctor. Not myself.
The show is basically promoting eating disorders
Taylor Knight Really? I'm pretty sure these people showed up with eating disorders
RDA8191 yes and it's no secret, one contestant became anorexic to point where she ended up losing her hair.
The scale is not even plugged in, the contestants weigh in the morning the day of the shooting for the weigh in episode.
at the end of the day, only YOU can loose weight. only YOU can make a difference to YOUR body. slamming other people for your failed efforts is not acceptable in my opinion.. anybody can loose weight. You're just doing it wrong. or you're not motivated enough. simple as that. Nothing more, nothing less.
The Biggest Loser is not inspirational. It could actually discourage people who are trying to lose weight in ‘real life’ who are dropping 1 to 3 pounds a week through healthy means. Losing weight ‘Biggest Loser Style’ through extreme dieting and exercise is a recipe for disaster.
This bothers me. You can't blame a show for not keeping the weight off, it's call exercise and eating healthy. I've lost 116 pounds in 12 1/2 months, I know it can be done.
She blames the show.
She still put the food back in her mouth, it is 100% her fault.
I don't trust the two at the end. The lady sounds like a shill spokesperson for a company
Yeah, I guess we will see them in a couple of years overweight again, because it takes from 5 to 10 years to gain the weight back. If any doubts, look at Ali Vincent after 8 years of winning the show, she has gained all the weight back, poor girl!
Okay, there is no excuse for gaining back 130lbs. Your metabolism is adaptive and no amount of ‘messed up’ metabolism is going to make you gain that much weight back. Suzanne clearly binged after the show and did not maintain a healthy lifestyle. If she did, she wouldn’t be so heavy now. Gaining back 10, 20, 25 is fine after the show, that’s normal but there is no excuse for gaining everything back and more (+130lbs). Now she is blaming the show for her lack of self control. I’m not saying the show is perfect. I don’t deny that they most likely advocate unhealthy restriction and rules but it’s not their fault she’s a fat ass again. You can’t just come off of a diet and expect to maintain a beautiful physique. You have to work hard for it, every single day. Suzanne didn’t! 🤷♀️
She's telling the truth : they lost TOO many TOO TOO fast !!! It's unhealthy. My parents wanted me to be thin and quick and i lost like 39 pounds in 1month and a half by exercising 2-3 hours per day intensely. I felt so tired so depressed i had to check everything i ate and exercise again and again. I had to just decrease the amount of exercises while eating LESS ! I gain all the weight in 2 month and i put on more pounds that i lost !!! Than i decided to do eat simply by having a healthy lifestyle. I lost 50 pounds in 10 months. Never put it again.
at the end of the day.... unhealthy method, crash diet, whatever.... she still got free personal training for an extended amount of time and lost TONS of weight. You should be able to get off that show and work just as hard to keep weight off. there is absolutely no way that by burning more calories than you take in per day, you will gain weight. this chick will never be fit in her life with this mindset she has. rant over
she needs to take responsibility for her own failure not blame the show for it!!! if she gained all that weight its because made poor choices and this are the consequences of it you can't live your life depending on others to tell you what to do and how to do it she was taught and it was her choice to continue or not and obviously she didn't !!! it's so frustrating when people act this way😛
The show is not to blame for this woman weight problem. She needs to take responsibility for her own life.
The show was just unrealistic and extreme. ...stressing the body like that is not real exercise and put the contestants in danger of injury.... Losing weight is a slow process....
TV is fake, everybody knows that. Even reality shows only simulate reality in dramatic ways, otherwise it would be kinda dull and not entertaining enough. I know myself that a lot of what happens on TBL is staged, but at least it's entertaining and motivational for me. Other thing is, if she hasn't learnt anything from the show (basically having a calorie deficit at the end of the day in order to lose weight) then I'm not sorry for her. People seem to blame anything but themselves for their own misery.
I got a subway ad for this video. Get the irony? Lmao.
Itis so simple. When you don't eat enough to fuel your body, it is going to go into starvation mode. Once it does that you may have screwed it up for years. That is why calorie reduction diets so rarely work.
Eat a low fat, high carb, whole food, plant based diet and eat as much as you want. If you have had calorie restriction in your past, you may initially gain some weight while your body heals, but once the healing process is over, you will naturally go to your optimum weight, with a bit of exercise.
+balderdashery G Do a little bit of research most of what you hear about "starvation mode" is myth
Hell most of what you said is myth
+footbalr074 exactly
Isn't this expected when they join the contestant? You can't fit a lifetime in one season. Geez. Because you failed to follow through outside the show, you blame the show because of this. You own your body, take some accountability ungrateful people.
cmom, Suzanne looks beautiful physically as a fat woman. She clearly still has the deep seated issues that made her eat lots of food, yeah she probably would have gained half the weight back. I hope can accept herself and then maybe try to lose weight because long term weight loss is slow.
I dont think it is sustainable, it helps a few people, but there have been many contestants end up with eating disorders. Its a fun show to watch. Even Olivia has put some weight back on since she won, not all of it but her final weigh in size wasn't sustainable obviously. She still looks great dont get me wrong but its unrealistic in the real world. Because when you restrict your diet the minute you come off of that diet, and extreme exercise regime your going to pile the weight back on twice over.
I'm just wondering where the fuck is their loose skin? at the end they are all so pretty and etc but what happened to their loose skin? unless doc cut it off I see no phisical possibilities for them of not having it. look at her arm when she comes out
I’m late the the party I know, but she came back to bash the show to keep her 5 minutes of fame going. She did Fox & Friends, ET, Inside Edition, and more...she refused to take responsibility for her gradually gaining the weight back. I used to be much larger, and I took responsibility for myself and got in shape. I didn’t victimize myself, this girl needs take this to Lifetime because this “I’m the victim” story is played out!
The show should be bashed. It is completely fake. From its fake "week" weigh in to its starvation mode dieting and its over exercising. They should be sued for every single person whose health they fucked up. Just like when a food company puts addictive ingredients that ruin health.
after watching this , shows that at the end of the day its YOURE decision if you want to either gain weight or keep it off. plain and simple. stop blaming others.
If your eat badly it's not realistic to maintain a healthy weight... Stop shaming the show bc you no longer want to do the work
Like the rest of us to
Maintain a healthy weight! It's sad some of the contestants do actually keep the weight off by staying active and eating healthy ...
its so easy to blame people for our own crappy decisions....
I totally the agree that this is not the most healthy way to lose weight and can really do damage to your body. And for the most part is almost impossible to be maintained. However I think that a lot of the people that go on this show think that everything is great now and can go back to what they were doing before and then just fast and do extreme exercise to get the weight back off. Which is why they cant keep the weight off.
The weigh in thing is partly true. They weighed in the morning of but weren’t told, and their starting weight is from a weigh in before they even go to the ranch. But really Suzanne was one of the villains of season 2 and needs to take some responsibility
Throughout the show the trainers always say do not be ashamed about a low week. I do not think all people are built for what the show does and that is why so many gain more back and give up. The problem is, if the biggest loser cannot make you learn how to keep it off of course you are going to be bitter afterward. On the show they talk to contestants that have failed and told them you have to find a balance between the extremes of the show and how to stay at a healthy weight when you cannot workout 12 hours a day.
It's fkn obvious crash diets and crash exercises like the biggest loser is the biggest idiotic method to lose fat and stay there. When you only eat 1200 cals a day and exercise away 1000 cals a day, when you go back to the real world , you gonna start eating 2000 cals/ maybe more back and exercise 0 cal a day. Isn't that obvious ? Instead you have to keep consistent with better habits and maintain somrthing doable.
I am so glad she gained her weight back and more!!!!! She has problems with herself and wants to blame the TV show? Why did not she keep the weight she had lost? From my opinion she has the syndrome of: POOR ME, I AM A VICTIM OF THAT TERRIBLE SHOW...I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE NEITHER ACCOUNTABLE FOR GAINING THE WEIGHT BACK....TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND GROW!!!!
Forever victims. They could have walked away anytime and chose not to. Their own greed got them there and their greed kept them there
They were psychologically abused by the show's producers and staff. Any "experts" who would promote the type of weight loss on the show were the ultimate guilty party.
she has no one to blame but her self for gaining all that weight. even doing half hr wrkouts a day at home nd eating 80 percent healthy would of helped keep the weight off. All that stuff about her being wrapped in garbage bags while wrkingout is a huge lie.
So if it 20 days later then the weight loss should be slow and healthy
I always thought the weeks thing must have been off because how could anyone lose such big numbers week after week.
Yes it would be easy to gain the weight back but that's not the biggest losers fault she gained it back, she wasn't commuted enough to lose it and now she's bitter.
She started to stuff her face again that's all. I lost 175lbs in 8 months and haven't put weight back on because I pay attention to what I eat.
Some of them keep it off.. maybe the ones who don't go back to cupcakes and laying on the couch? I'm just asking, cus I don't believe she just magically gained it all back OR that normal exercise and good eating did it.. It actually makes me happy that the weigh ins were after longer periods of time than they portray on the show. This just means they are doing it much healthier than I thought...
how about talking a short walk after meals and less snacks
That first woman probably only said that because she could keep off her own weight so she blames the show because the other two people who kept it off denied those comments she said but whatever that her life..........
Of course the show is fake, who actually thinks a reality show or competition show is real? Everything is scripted and edited.
This show is a scam. The majority of the contestants are worse off now.
She's still pretty
People need to stop with the calorie thing no matter what you eat its the volume that matters. Less food equals a smaller stomach period. We need to stop stretching out are stomachs. Believe me I have done all the diets but I realize it's only the amount of food that matters not the calories. We should eat equal amounts of protein fats are carbs in each meal.Go to the Google play store and try 80bites I really believe this works
Ask Olivia how she was able to win. Ask her who gave her the tools.
I guess it just to show that you can never escape your cravings and your love of food or your eating problems. you were born fat and always be fat. or it could just because they lack will power to resist eating fattening food.
Those shows have to be extreme or it wouldn't be popular you can eat right and still maintain healthy weight afterward you just have to try, and speaking as a person who's been overweight my whole life, it's not about weight, you get to that type of heavy weight for another reason, you have to fix the issue that caused the unhealthy relationship with food.
I agree with what she says they lie like crazy on that show but did she just go home and not work out a lot? Sadly you have to keep up your workout routine or you will gain it back sadly also since they don’t feed them well there
omg...I thought suzanne was mary hart, a former long time ET host. the resemblance is there.
So a Reality Show is fake?
No doubt the show is... a show. But stop eating, stop blaming everyone else.
Why eat baby food when you can just have a smoothie or apple sauce?
Screw those trainers!They are just big ads bullies! I always hated that show".They did everything the hard way. So here's the truth there is only one thing you should look into. 80bites. Look it up and change your life! One lady lost 220 pounds by eating 80 bites of food. No calories to count or portion control. I believe you should still eat balanced but too much food has always been the pitfall for so many .
She’s a liar. She only lost 16 her first week not 18
At the end of the day the first women didn't do anything at home too keep the weight off obviously ., there's no way she was working out everyday tryna keep the weight off and gained 40 more pounds than she weighed when she went on the show lol come on , you can't go home after loosing all that weight and do nothing too keep it off lol she obviously did nothing ,don't u think when she got back too the weight she weighed before that she would go back too the gym or something nah , she just ate and blamed it on food lol pathetic.
So, bascially after the show you gained weight back and it is there fault not the individual meaning you the contestant of the show my guess is you gorged yourself after getting back home and magically gained it back yup all there faults not yours grow up.
"I've gained 130 pounds back". Yeah, and who's fault is that? Does she want a pity party with those fries?
Actually, the weight gain after the show has everything to do with eating a normal healthy diet compared to the nonsense they promoted on the show. Anyone would have gained the weight back if they were pushed to be that unhealthy. More people from the Biggest Loser have gained the weight back for the same exact reason. They fucked up these people's metabolism so bad that weight gain was going to be inevitable.
It's probably how she prepared her food 2
regardless of anything. you ate and you ate and you ate and you ate, and you regained all that dam weight. learn a stopping point
There was so much salt in her diet that she became salty herself.
After the show she might had started eating like a freight train to compensate the deprivation during the show, food is an addiction like any other and need to be controlled
U don't just gain that much weight back. It's your fault don't blame someone else for your sins and vices
I love when she said it was a game show that's true
You gained weight because you didn't follow the life style given to you stop blameing others you did it you ate too much. Take the responsiabiity for your own actions.
+Libby Brown are you serious? ever heard of metabolic damage? go help yourself and do some research before trolling others like this. losing so much weight in very short time by restricting calories and stressful exercise the the bodies BMR down beyond recovery where you cant eat more than few hundred calories other wise you gain weight like pigs no matter what exercise you do.
what the show did was giving them very short term success not a lifestyle, so there is big difference here. no one on earth can sustain training 6 hours a day and eating 1200 calories.
If the show taught you how to REALISTICALLY LOOSE weight IN AN EVERYSAY LIFE TYPE SETTING then I could subscribe to it. But is is not realistic. Which is why some of the trainers got caught up in conflict.
A gross, gross, weak woman
+Gray Man I'm weak too
Sometimes I forget how the things I say affect others, thank you for helping me remember. Anyway, I think you're strong and powerful in many ways! I read your comments - you are very kind and very, very, VERY, VERY pretty :) don't let yourself believe you're weak
Gray Man rly omg thank you but I feel weak because I fail in life
Everyone fails :) don't let it stop you! It's how we learn and grow and become stronger. No one is any different, the main thing is being able to pick yourself up from failure and use those lessons to succeed in whatever it is you're pursuing... I could spend tons of time telling you things that may motivate you and put you in a happier head-space, but at the end of the day it's your life :) How do you want to live? Who do you want to be? Do you have dreams of love, adventure, fortune? Whatever it is, it's your responsibility to make it happen and learn from failing. Cool?
Gray Man thank you I feel better
