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!

  • Exactly. That's the real question, isn't it? Absolutely. The theory is that raising HDL is good for you then again the theory that lowering LDL is good for you seems to be OK. We have to try it out. Maybe olive oil imparts some other beneficial effect. The bottom line is just try to live a life of moderation and you won't get in too much trouble. Leo BTW Vioxx had indications of significant increase in blood pressure from the initial clincal trials. Outcome was predicatable.
