Now before I rant everyone must understand that the "Biggest Loser" Tv show isn’t really reality.
1. They are exercising for numerous hours a day
2. They don’t have a normal life to contend with such as family, a job, etc.
3. Reality TV shows are not really reality and everything is edited for the benefit of entertainment.
With that being said here is my rant.
Jillian made a comment because someone only lost a few pounds when they were at home. Now if you weight 300 pounds and really work at it for 4 weeks you should be able to lose more than 2 pounds. You do have a family to take care of, maybe a job, but if you work at it your weight loss should be more than 2 pounds.
My rant is with her comment about trainers saying that you lost inches but the scale didn’t move much and one reason is you could have gained muscle.
Well, let me tell you Jillian those are the facts. If someone has never strength trained before their body can build lean muscle pretty quickly in the beginning because it is a shock to the system and the body has to adapt.
Guess what Jillian?
That is weight on the scale.
What that means is if you lost 2 pounds of fat and you gained 2 pounds of muscle the scale doesn’t move.
It is called simple math.
Now getting back to my statement that reality TV is edited for the benefit of entertainment she probably had an entire explanation that was a part of that one sentence and the "Biggest Loser" TV producers edited it out because they knew it would cause controversy.
This show is ok to watch if you want to try and be inspired, but as far as reality and truthful education it is far from it. Especially with the paid advertisements that constantly take place throughout the show.
Feel free to watch the show for entertainment purposes, but please don’t rely on the show as solid factual information because it is far from it. It definitely isn’t reality!
