Weight Loss Forensics: FBI Tactics to Investigate Cravings, Overeating, and Why Diets Suck

185: Exposing Why Biggest Loser Contestants Gained the Weight Back- Fit for TV


Listen Later

They lost hundreds of pounds on national TV. Then they gained it back. So what went wrong? What does that mean for you and your weight loss goals?

You’ve probably watched The Biggest Loser and thought: If I just had someone pushing me like that… I could finally do it. But what if that is the exact reason why they - and maybe even you - regain the weight?

If you’re curious about the shocking truth about the Biggest Loser TV show, and why so many contestants gained back so much weight, you might find this episode interesting. Because on average, the contestants regained 70% of the weight they lost, and many of them gained back even more. And you might be in that same boat, wondering how on earth can I do the hard work and the blood, sweat, and tears to lose weight, but then end up gaining it back so quickly. 

Together, we will unpack:

  • Why 70% of Biggest Loser contestants regained the weight, and what you can learn so you don’t repeat their patterns.
  • The shocking truth revealed in the Fit for TV documentary that they didn’t intend for you to see.
  • The number 1 thing you need to avoid when going on a diet or trying to lose weight, because it will backfire on you. 
  • How External Authority Syndrome causes you to stay stuck in the weight loss-weight gain patterns. 
  • The secret way that emotional burdens sabotage your weight loss progress. 
  • Bob Harper gave the worst advice ever. Here’s why you should never do this.
