The Biggest Loser =] October 27, 2009

I am a sucker for reality TV and one of my favorites is The Biggest Loser! It is designed to change the lives of overweight people. Many of the people that are contestants on the show have a lot of issues that they bring with them on the show. Most of the personal baggage they bring has a lot to do with the reasons they are overweight. All of the contestants have to face their issues head on. The trainers try to help them confront the real reason they are overweight. They feel that their success of keeping the weight off is in finding the answers to their person problems.
Obesity is a major problem in The United States. According to USA Today almost 65% of Americans are either overweight or obese. We need to change this. What I like most about The Biggest Loser is that they show how people lose weight the healthy way, not the surgical way. The contestants on the show work out a lot, but they are also taught how to make healthy meals and are taught portion control which is huge in staying healthy. Staying healthy is there main message and that is what is most important. The way this show is designed is great. It is a teaching show that we can all learn from. Maybe if more people watched this we could lower the number of people that are obese in America!
