With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I'm kinda curious though about which "diet" will work......eat more.....or eat less.... Whats you all's take? -------------- ....I'm probably in my underwear typing this......or maybe not!

I just wish some things would be explained more. And not suger coat it. -------------- ....I'm probably in my underwear typing this......or maybe not!

And I agree andrew, that female trainer was WAY to hard on those guys right off the bat. A trainer like that will injure there client. I think that since these people are so heavy, that ANY way they eat will work. The real test will be when they are done with this show and get back into real life. I bet you that some of these people will go right back to there old habits.

Now lets see what they post for weekly weight loss after week 3.

Several times the trainers or host said the show was not about dieting but about creating a new healthy lifestyle - what overtraining (5 hour workout for a severely out of shape person!?!) and low-carb crash dieting (especially while working your ass off) have to do with a healthy lifestyle is beyond me. It's obvious the focus, at least for the red team, will be on losing as much weight as possible as quickly as possible, not teaching and establishing healthy habits for life.

The ONLY reason they're losing weight is because they're so big in the first place... did you guys see the last episode where they voted that "skinny" girl off, because she only lost 5 puonds, supposedly she went home and continued that lifestyle and lost an additional 15 lbs, and it shouwed a picture... I think thats a bunch of BS, ... -------------- My mind tells me to win, my spirit shows me how, and my body delivers.

Leedogg Posts: 59 Joined: 2003/10/18	2004/10/27, 02:11 PM I caught the rerun this past saturday, and the new one last night (Tuesday). Why didn't they lose as much this last time around, were their bodies in shock or something?
	2004/10/27, 02:21 PM Nope, the first week was mostly water weight loss. -------------- I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol Charlie
yadmit Posts: 4,670 Joined: 2003/10/05	2004/10/27, 03:00 PM I couldn't believe last night... nobody told these guys when they were being weighed in 'it's okay.' No support (from what I saw). And the fact they called they guy who lost the most last week 'the biggest loser' seemed kind of demeaning to me... I never thought I'd say this, but bring back prime time soaps..

WAnglais1 Posts: 329 Joined: 2003/10/23	2004/11/01, 02:25 PM The ratings for these "Extreme Makeover" shows are high, and that's why we get this. I haven't watched it and probably won't. I'm not sure how I even feel about this show. Being a fat guy (although not as big as the people in the promos) makes me sympathetic toward them, but not enough to watch them in their attempt to lose weight.
