Anyone else watch The Biggest Loser?

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: www.nbc.com/.../erik_before1.jpg www.nbc.com/.../erik_finale10.jpg Hard to even believe this is the same guy!

  • I also had some of my memory facts wrong about the Prevention article. forgive me since I was going off the article which I read several weeks ago. I have it in front of me now. "Your Waistline's Worst Enemy" A calorie's a calorie, right? Now so fast. Wake Forest Univ School of Medicine researchers found that trans fats releases more calries than other fats during digestion. Their test monkeys which metabolize fats like humans, gained three times more weight on and 8% trans fat diet than others fed the same number of calories but no trans fat. Although the average woman gets 3.9 g of trans fats per day from patrially hydrgenated oils, we found one stick of margarine with 3.5 g in a single tablespoon. Go trans-free by checking labels for the phrase partially hydrogenated oils..." Prevention, December, 2006, page 57. Alison
