What The Biggest Loser Got Wrong About Weight Loss | Episode 96
About this episode
In this episode, we're using The Biggest Loser as a case study for what actually creates lasting weight loss and what doesn't.
The show produced some incredible transformations, but many contestants eventually regained the weight. So what can we learn from it?
We break down three of the biggest problems: using shame and self-hate as motivation, chasing extreme results that aren't sustainable, and creating an environment where losing weight is easy without teaching people how to maintain those habits in real life.
Because losing weight isn't the same thing as learning how to keep it off.
