Bad example. Classic dieting, on the other side…

Actually, they might be examples of how NOT to go about getting healthy permanently. […]

Came here to say this. Not sure I’m cool with calling TBL an “inspiring” show, given what we now know about how people were treated.

However, no one outside of the BL would ever do an exercise regime as intense and I believe the article has been used to highlight some key points – 90% of success is related to what you eat not how much. These individuals on the BL once the show was over went back to their usual environments of high carbohydrate processed foods and coupled with the metabolic disorders such an intense regime inflicted goes a long way to understanding their putting the lost weight back on, with very little chances of keeping the weight off. NF is not BL and to make the assertion that referencing this article made that assertion is a stretch. Looking forward to the second article.

he referred to the same study in a blog post last year. Goes into a little more depth on why people regain weight.
https://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2015/07/28/study-suggests-were-doomed-to-stay-fat-wait-what/

One partial reason I’ve heard is that somebody who loses weight requires fewer calories as compared to somebody else of similar size. So you’ve got to maintain a healthy diet for longer than just the time it takes to get to that weight or it’s easy to start the rebound quickly. I can’t find my source on that so it’s more likely than not Bro-science.

I will however quote the Mayo Clinic: “There’s no easy way to lose weight. The foundation for weight loss continues to be based on physical activity and diet. Take in fewer calories than you burn, and you lose weight.”

In an article on the Australian version of TBL, a former contestant revealed that 2-3 weeks of working out 7hrs a day was edited to look like 1 week in the BL house. They were told to say “Good result this *week*” when it was actually more than 7 days since their last weigh-in. This gives unrealistic expectations on people who try to emulate actions on the show (however incorrect and unhelpful they may be) and when they can’t reach those kind of results, they give up totally.
