Why you shouldn’t fast-track your weight loss journey
Live MintThere have been many questionable reality shows on television, particularly in the early 2000s. The premise behind this show was to take clinically obese contestants, break them into teams, train them hard and monitor their restrictive diets to lose weight. We know this happened because a team of researchers took the baseline data the contestants submitted to the show, and compared it against their results, six years in the future, in a paper called Persistent Metabolic Adaptation 6 Years After the Biggest Loser Competition. I think it's important to know what happened to the contestants many years on because the show may only highlight its success stories and dramatic transformations. However, this doesn't mean your weight loss attempts are in vain; it just means that you must employ a different strategy and foster different skills to enjoy long-term results.
