The Biggest Loser
Club
Most everyone has seen the
show, The Biggest Loser, at least once. A small number of
participants are chosen from a large group of overweight
individuals to live at a ranch and compete for cash based on
who can lose the most weight. I was skeptical about a
competition about something so personal and life altering, but
the show has taken off and spawned a diet plan that people all
over the country are now following.
If you've ever watched the
show, you know that the participants have a lot of weight to
lose. Through supervised eating and exercise plans they lose
an incredible amount of weight during the course of the show.
The exercise segments are rigorous but that is a part of the
show's popularity - the exercise challenges.
The Biggest Loser Club may
have started from a reality show but the basis is sound. All
of the participants on the show are on a supervised eating
plan and their exercise routine is followed by a professional
trainer. If you choose to follow this diet plan, you won't
have a personal trainer but you do have access to professional
advice on the Biggest Loser Club's website.
To begin, members of the
club set their goals by providing diet and weight information.
The eating plan is tailored to the individual's unique needs.
Information is provided on how to manage their eating plan,
including portion control, tips for eating out, cooking and
much more.
Emphasis is placed on
preparing your own meals just like on the show. Frozen meals
have preservatives and unwanted sugar and sodium. Using fresh
foods and the oils of your choice in place of boxed meals
ensures that you know exactly what is in the dishes that you
are preparing to eat.
Eating snacks is encouraged
but the snacks are different than the usual. Snacks and
desserts are prepared using healthy ingredients that taste
good. Some of the foods may be new to members but it sure
doesn't hurt to try them out and they have to be better than
the chips and cookies most people grab for snacks.
Members can have their
favorite foods with a twist. Instead of using ground beef, opt
for ground turkey when preparing spaghetti. Use whole wheat
noodles instead of those made with white flour. A bit of
revamping can keep you eating foods you like without all the
excess calories and fat your body is used to.
Exercise is so important to
the biggest loser. Without physical activity, the weight won't
budge. Most of the participants haven't exercised in years
mostly due to the weight that they have gained. The program
starts off with heavy exercise sessions prescribed by the
trainers.
Since you don't have a
trainer available, the website offers suggestions for
activities. The main point is to be consistent with the
exercise and to choose an exercise that suits you. Before
starting any exercise plan consult a doctor. He or she can
suggest exercises that won't send you into cardiac arrest or
the doctor with torn or pulled muscles.
By the time you lose the
weight, you will have gained all of the tools needed to
maintain that weight loss. Family involvement and support
helps to keep the weight loss permanent. Working out with a
friend and preparing meals with the family equal success on
the Biggest Loser Club plan
