Re: All about losing weight.
The figures mentioned are quiet impossible to achieve to be honest. At least not for us to do it in that time frame, normal people cannot afford to or have the ability to have full time chefs, trainers, nutritionists/dietitians and can go on training for 3-4 hours a day with allegedly 5 to 15lbs of clothing on them. That too in one single go. Even if the show was real, I cannot list the endless negative effects there would be due to that much training on the participants healths, and with this I’d be curious to know about their current health conditions.
I’d also be curious to know about the huge amounts of loose skin, what did they do about it. Makeup, Surgery? To further add, naturally its just not possible for us humans to gain more than 2-3 pounds of lean muscle in a month. So worth asking, where did all that steel cut lean muscle come from?
The whole concept sounds shady to say the least. Theres so many things that could have taken place prior the weigh-in that the viewers don’t get to see. Heavy clothes for one, injecting water weight for another.
The following are good reads on the authenticity of the show.
