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!

So we're back to Darwinism and its applicability? Or is that just apes?
Are you restricting your calories, SCY? Or sticking with the "everything in moderation" theory?
No apes or darwinism, just a scientific study about caloric restriction that is using monkeys for subjects. Their physiology is similar to ours and it is much easier to lock monkeys up and restrict their diet than to do the same to humans.
Probably a bit of both actually. I seldom eat to the point of excess or feeling "bloated". It is also rare that I indulge in any one particular food at any one time. I am quite aware of what foods I eat and how much of them I eat. Not to the point of being obsessive but I am determined to remain thin and healthy through diet and exercise.
