Next is the sheer amount of exercise they perform FloraSpring Review and the tiny amount of calories they consume. On the show, the average calorie consumption per day is roughly 1000 calories. This is a tiny amount of food and is not a good idea for healthy weight loss. Viewers need to remember that it is a reality show and to keep it interesting contestants need to lose huge amounts of weight. The only way to do this is to exercise for countless hours each day and consume very little food.
Exercising so much and eating so little is not going to be sustainable. Do you want to lose weight for 12 weeks then gain it all back? Of course not. A better approach is to exercise for 1 hour each day and reduce calories gradually as required to continue weight loss. Remember, food keeps the metabolism going. Perhaps the best part of The Biggest Loser is that it reveals the true emotional side to weight loss. Nearly every contestant has a moment with their personal trainer where they break down emotionally and reveal the true reasons for their weight gain.
If you are trying to lose weight it really will help to try and find the emotional reason for being overweight. You don't need Jillian Michaels screaming at you to do this. But finding the trigger for your weight gain, and then removing it, will prevent weight being gained back. Maybe its boredom, eating to cover emotional pain or something else, its up to you to discover if you have an 'emotional trigger' for weight gain.
