Okay so, I watch Biggest Loser every week. I love the show. It is both encouraging and unrealistic at the same time. I have learned a lot from it too, so I decided to start documenting what I have learned so that later I can go back and remember it. So this week, January 6, 2009, I learned that gastric bypass is not a miracle fix for being fat.
There is a contestant that previously had gastric bypass and even with a stomach the size of an egg, he still managed to gain all of his weight back. The harsh truth of it is, nothing works if you aren't willing to put in the effort to make it work. Every diet you see on TV tells you that they can make you lose weight quick and easy. Susie lost 20 pounds in just one week! First of all, it's not true, they photoshop those pictures. Secondly, they don't stick, as soon as you stop the shake, diet, pill, etc, the fat comes right back because you did not learn anything in the first place. Another thing they all have in common, in the fine print, they all say "with proper nutrition and exercise." Go figure, you can do the same thing without the pill that makes you shit your pants.
There is my big revolation for the day! laters
