Reality T.V. Weight Loss- Part 1:
I am glad that reality television has brought weight loss, exercise and healthy eating to the minds-eye of the American public, but I think we have to be careful not to make those “biggest loser” contestants into our role models for healthy long term lifestyle changes.
Why? Because weight should not always be confused with fat. Weight loss can be comprised of water, or lean tissue. It is also important to remember that extreme bodyweight loss rapidly achieved is often gained back.
People who lose weight and keep it off, do it by a complete change of lifestyle habits, including a commitment to exercise and a complete change in their eating patterns (including what they eat, protions control, and reducing the amount they eat.
Tomorrow we’ll discuss some controversial plans on how to achieve these long-term weight loss goals. See you then!
