Who would have thought that a reality TV show about overweight people working out and losing weight would have been so popular? That’s just what The Biggest Loser show has done. It’s so wildly popular that there are versions of this TV show in many countries now.
In a nutshell, the show is about a group of overweight people that are divided into two teams when the reach a remote weight loss Ranch somewhere. Each Team has a trainer. During the next 12 weeks, the show covers how they eat, how they work out and shows their weekly weight loss.
After the first Season, people said the weight loss was a hoax or at best, a fluke. After Season two where we they had a guy lose over 100 pounds in 12 weeks, people started to take notice. This about the time many people started to get onto The Biggest Loser band wagon and some haven’t left!
I’ve watched this show since season 1 and I’ve learned a lot about proper weight loss. Not only that, I’ve stuck to a routine very similar to the one on The Biggest Loser Show and I have lost over 60 pounds, from home!
So here are a few weight loss tips I’ve picked up along the way. First off, you need to be drinking a lot of water. Not only does it fill you up, but it helps flush toxins and fat cells out of your body. Plus, it can boost your metabolism which will help you burn more calories.
Another tips I picked up by watching The Biggest Loser is to eat smaller meals more often throughout the day. Once I started doing this, my weight loss efforts really jumped up there. Just remember to adjust your portions. It’s not good to eat 5 or 6 huge meals a day. Break those down into smaller, healthier meals.
Keep a food diary. I didn’t realize how important this was until I actually started doing it. Not only did I see almost immediate results, it helped me keep within my target range of calories each day. This is a very important tip and one that will keep you honest about your diet.
Many people who workout to lose weight believe that any kind of workout is good for losing weight. The Biggest Loser Show taught us that you should keep your cardio workouts going longer so your body stays in its fat burning mode longer. I also learned that working out with weights was important to build muscle.
If you haven’t seen The Biggest Loser show, I highly recommend going to Amazon.com and buying the back seasons. I’m sure they’ll help you in your weight loss fight just as it did for mine!
