I watched it some last season, but only caught the finale of this season that aired last night. Unbelievable! At least a couple people on the show lost over 50% of their original weight.
The winner, Erik, went from over 400 pounds to under 195. Look at these before and after photos:

Hard to even believe this is the same guy!

I have no problem with the banning of trans fats (although they may be good for business!). What I take issue with is the belief that this will significantly impact either the overall health of our population or the prevalence of coronary artery disease (not to mention the incidence of obesity). Please note that I said significantly. I also find it ironic that we're not seeing a ban on tobacco products, the health risks of which vastly overshadow that of trans fats.
